Martial arts start from the visualization of tortoise breathing

Chapter 93;

Fuya, outside a certain quaint and elegant Nuan Pavilion.

Wearing a purple robe and a crown, Zhou Futai, who could be regarded as elegant, stood in front of the blooming lotus pond thinking about something. When the servants came to report, Zhou Futai took a deep breath and said: "Okay, immediately Lead him to come to me."

Turning around, Zhou Futai returned to the warm pavilion, the round table was already filled with high-quality meals, there were more than [-] dishes in total, all carefully prepared by Zhou Futai.

There is also the pot of thousand-day drunkenness, the color is like amber, the entrance is like a clear spring, and a pot costs hundreds of taels of silver. There are very few people in Daze Prefecture who can treat him, the lord of a house, so well.

But this is not enough, he also prepared a trump card according to his preferences, and he is [-]% sure that he still has it.

"Grassman Fang Ping, I pay my respects to Master Futai."

Outside the Nuan Pavilion, Fang Ping, who had arrived, nodded to the retreating servants, then clasped his hands and shouted.

Zhou Futai, who was only in his early 40s, walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with a knowing smile. He was still a little shocked when he saw the young man for the first time.

It's hard to imagine that the young man in the year of Wuxiang has already cultivated to the third rank, and his strength is not inferior to that of Chu Ying.

Such talent in martial arts is not in vain for his condescending hospitality.

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. A good nephew is far superior to those young talents in the city." Zhou Futai strode forward, took Fang Ping's arm kindly and gently like an elder, and dragged him into the Nuan Pavilion.

Fang Ping entered the Snapper with the attitude of staying the same and adapting to all changes.

As for it, what a big deal, isn't it just to suppress a bandit, just give money.

"Come on, nephew, please sit down."

"The guests do as they please, and the Master Futai sits first."

"Today is my banquet for you, so you should sit first."

Fang Ping couldn't help but sat down reluctantly.

"Chu Ying mentioned the Lianjiabao incident before. Thanks to your great help, I will offer you a toast here first." Zhou Futai raised the jug, and the wine flowing out of the spout , crystal clear, strong aroma.

At first glance, it is a top-notch wine.

Fang Ping shook his head noncommittally, and became more and more confused about Zhou Futai's thoughts this week, a simple matter.

You give me money, and I'll help you suppress the bandits. Why are you so condescending and humble? Is it because you want to win yourself over to work for him?

"It's better to clarify some things."

Fang Ping got up, "The matter of Lianjiabao is all due to the master of Futai making a decisive decision and strategizing. Fang does not dare to take credit. As for today's banquet, Fang has already made up his mind. It is the duty of every great master to wipe out water bandits and river bandits for the court. Xuan people's unshirkable responsibility and obligation."

"That's right, you understand righteousness so well at such a young age. After the matter is completed, I will report it to the imperial court and reward you heavily."

Fang Ping wondered, is this pretending to be confused while pretending to understand?Reporting to the imperial court, exploiting them layer by layer, how much benefit can fall into Fang Ping's hands, "Master Futai is too famous, Fang will definitely go all out to suppress the bandits, but..."

Zhou Futai clapped his palms without hearing it, as if he was listening to me throwing a cup as a sign.

Behind the beaded veil came out a mature woman, about 35 or six years old, with beautiful features, tall and tall, wearing a bust-length skirt over her delicate snow-white skin, her graceful waist can be held with one hand, and this is a broad-minded woman A mature woman, with blue hair coiled up high and a little makeup applied, looks even more charming, comparable to his wife.

Fang Ping instinctively looked at the two mountain peaks that were about to burst his clothes, and said in surprise: "This lady is..."

"Come on, let me introduce my nephew. This is my elder brother's wife. My elder brother died early, leaving behind a widow and young son. Our family couldn't bear her loneliness, so I took her to be taken care of by my family." Zhou Futai said eloquently. , describing the identity of the woman.

"What a miserable woman. But what does it have to do with me? Could it be to challenge my weakness?" Fang Ping didn't think he had a weakness. After practicing martial arts, he was perfect. Pleasure is the great desire of human beings.

"Sister Xue, I've met you, Young Master." The miserable wife, with a charming style, bowed towards Fang Ping with picturesque eyes, and looked at Fang Ping, with a blush flying across her cheeks.

"No way, ma'am, please, you are an elder, and you will disgrace Fang." Fang Ping said back with a salute.

Mrs. Xue looked at Zhou Futai, she also refused at first, but Zhou Futai couldn't stand Zhou Futai's understanding and emotion.

"Sister-in-law, come and sit down. Fang Xian's nephew is one of the dragons and phoenixes, and he understands righteousness. There are still many things to deal with in this house, so my sister-in-law will entertain Fang Xian's nephew for me." Zhou Futai left the warm pavilion.

Fang Ping could feel the atmosphere becoming awkward.

"What a master of the Futai, he is not willing to spend money, but he is willing to use his own sister-in-law..."

When Fang Ping was distracted, Xue's body was full of fragrance, and his figure was seductively approaching.

Seeing that Fang Ping was indifferent, Xue Shi gritted her silver teeth and said with a flushed face, "Young Master Fang, you are willing to go inside with my slave."

"Why bother Mrs. Sister-in-law." Fang Ping sighed, distanced himself and said, "A certain Mr. Fang, was valued by the Master of Futai and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Please tell Mrs. Madam to tell the Master of Futai. The day when the 5 taels of silver will be delivered , that is the day Fang went out to suppress the bandits."

There was no point in staying any longer, Fang Ping disappeared into the warm pavilion in a gust of wind.

Xue's eyes were complicated, with gratitude and gratitude.

All the way out of the government office, Fang Ping felt relaxed.

Chu Ying came out out of season. This woman might just watch the fun outside the government office. Seeing Fang Ping walk out of the government office, the first thing she said was, "Why so fast? Master Futai didn't keep you?"

"What did you keep me for? What did you say about me?" Fang Ping glared at each other angrily. That Zhou Futai was not willing to spend money, but asked his own sister-in-law to come out. If they didn't keep it, it was because of Chu Ying's suggestion.

"I didn't say anything. The Master Futai asked you what you like and how to persuade you to sell the bandits. I just answered casually and mentioned that you kidnapped Lian Feihu's wife."

And that doesn't say anything?Enough said!

Fang Ping's face was gloomy. Fortunately, this was just a farce, harmless, "Next time, don't make up other people, and be careful that others are going to make up you behind your back."

Chu Ying snorted: "I won't do it next time, what about the suppression of bandits?"

"5 taels of silver! Give me 5 taels of silver, and I will fight the bandits together with you." Fang Ping thought for a while, and added: "In addition to the spoils from the bandit suppression, the court tax money stolen by the water bandits, I want fifty percent."

Chu Ying gasped, this is a bit much, 5 taels of silver, the master of Futai can still give it out, but if you want [-]% of the spoils, it is a bit difficult for others.

The water bandits on the Grand Canal rob merchant ships day after day and year after year, accumulating countless gold and silver treasures.Normally, after the bandits and water bandits were suppressed, these things belonged to the imperial court and had to be handed over to the state government or confiscated into the treasury.

"Master Futai agreed to your request?"

"No, you can pass it on to him." Fang Ping raised his hand and walked away, "If you have a reply, let me know."

……

Chapter 94; Luo Quan

"5 taels of silver, and [-]% of the spoils after the successful suppression of the bandits."

"Is he blackmailing Benfutai? Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small sum."

"I still have to give him [-]% of the spoils. Fortunately, he kept saying that it is the duty and responsibility of every Daxuan citizen to serve the court. He is also an insatiable greedy guy!"

Zhou Futai furiously scolded Fang Ping for being greedy, and this anger soon implicated Chu Ying, who helped Fang Ping spread the word, and he made a big fool of himself today.

He sacrificed his own sister-in-law, but Jiaqiu did nothing wrong. I don't know if he didn't like it or wanted to take the money with his sister-in-law.

Regardless of what happened, it was the first time he had run into a wall in front of a young man as he had been the Daze prefecture's castle for so long.

"Master Futai, calm down." Chu Ying explained with a wry smile: "The Hunjianglong and the Jinfan Bandit are both masters of the fourth-rank marrow washing realm. No matter how many soldiers you give me, there is not a single powerful martial arts master. If you help me, I can't recover the robbed tax money even if I'm humble, if my lord thinks that Fang Ping's conditions are harsh, we can have a long-term discussion."

Long term?How to take a long-term view?The Zhou Mansion was angry, and knew in his heart that the matter of suppressing the bandits was urgent, and it was worth paying some price, "Let the Mansion think about it for a day, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"My lord's lesson." Chu Ying bowed her hands and stepped back, suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask; "Hasn't Captain Ji Meng returned from his travels?"

There are not a few masters in the middle three ranks in Daze Prefecture, not to mention the plethora of them, there are hundreds of them, but there are only three martial arts masters in the third rank level, and every one of them is in the city of Daze Prefecture. The big guy in the crack.

Ji Meng, the seventh-rank Zhaowu school lieutenant in official position, is not below the Zhoufutai. He is the same as Zhoufutai in civil and military affairs. Zhoufutai is in charge of people's livelihood and taxes.

And Ji Meng is in charge of the soldiers and horses in the city of Daze Prefecture. He is extremely brave and talented in martial arts. He has cultivated to the upper third rank at the age of 30. He traveled to the rivers and lakes a year ago to sharpen his martial arts, but he has not returned yet.

"If Lieutenant Ji Meng comes back, does the station need to ask outsiders for help?" Zhou Futai shook his head. He hadn't received a letter from Ji Meng for a long time, and he didn't want him to come back either.

Daxuan established the country with martial arts, but in order to coerce military generals and restrict military generals from abusing power and rebellion, civil servants of the same rank are naturally superior to military generals in terms of power.

But then again, a general who is the most powerful in Daze Prefecture, has a high prestige in the army, and is at the same level as himself, always guards by his side, Zhou Futai feels awkward, one person alone holds one He doesn't want to share the government's rights with anyone.

……

……

Tongfu Inn.

hall.

At this point in time, there were a lot of guests coming to stay in the hotel. It should be a noisy scene, but after Fang Ping entered the lobby of the inn, there was no noise coming from his ears, but there were quite a few guests.

The reason is that everyone's eyes are intoxicated, and they can't help but look at a figure.

It was a young man in a red robe, with a coquettish and handsome face, so perfect that it was unrealistic, such as Mrs. Zhou, and the sister-in-law of Zhoufutai.

This person is different, the high bridge of the nose sets off the unearthly, coquettish and beautiful facial features in a three-dimensional way, which looks like a painting.

With such beauty, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman.

He sat alone at the table, attracting the attention of everyone in the inn with his every move, even the shopkeeper Tong of the middle-aged lady stared at the young man in red with dazed eyes.

"It's the guy who lives next door..."

Fang Ping once again smelled the strange and strong fragrance, which was emanating from the body of the young man in red. It is difficult for ordinary people to smell the stench of rotting corpses hidden under this strange fragrance.

suddenly.

The young man in red looked at where Fang Ping was. A pair of peach-blossom pupils were enchanting, and the pupils glowed with lavender light, shining like gemstones and agates.

For some reason, Fang Ping was restless, the hairs on the surface of his skin stood on end, and the heart containing purple true blood in his chest was beating uncontrollably.

"I can't see through."

Fang Ping, who has reached a certain level of turtle breath breathing technique, can judge the level of martial arts monks of the other party through the interval between breathing and breathing, but the young man in red is not breathing!

right!Just not breathing!

"As strong as a third-rank martial artist, with a huge lung capacity, it is not difficult to hold your breath for a few hours..."

Fang Ping didn't think the young man in red was deliberately holding his breath.

Not only did the young man in red not breathe, he had no heartbeat, nor did he hear the sound of Qi and blood flowing. Instead, there was a strange rustling sound echoing in the young man's body, like... thousands of insects crawling.

At the same time, Fang Ping remembered what happened on the way to Dazefu City. The third master of the Panshe Village said that there was a mysterious figure who killed bandits and bandits everywhere. Heart removed.

It is said that the man was wearing a red dress.

Going forward in time, many bandits and bandits were murdered by mysterious strongmen in Shanyang County, and their hearts were dug out. The government even posted notices.

"Shanyang County, Daze Prefecture City, the inn lives next to me, is it a coincidence or..."

Fang Ping's face was heavy, and he made a bold move, walking up to the young man in red step by step, "Ping below."

As they got closer, Fang Ping became more and more restless, as if sitting in front of him was a prehistoric beast that could devour him at any time.

Fang Ping felt nauseous for a while because of the strange fragrance emanating from the body of the young man in red, and the hidden stench.

"Sit." The young man in red was suddenly surprised, and he probably didn't expect that the prey he was eyeing would take the initiative to come forward.

"What's your name, Xiongtai?" Fang Ping sat down calmly, but the true qi in the dantian, the qi and blood in the blood vessels, were ready to go, and swam through the whole body.

The corner of the red-clothed young man's mouth touched the smiles that fascinated everyone in the inn, and his voice was mellow and ethereal, indistinguishable between male and female, and he replied, "The name... I chose one for myself, Luo Quan."

"Good name." Fang Ping remained calm, amplifying his perceptual ability to the maximum. The wind and grass within a radius of Tongfu Inn were as loud as the sound of hawking, footsteps, iron hammering, and horseshoes in the streets and alleys.

As small as gravel flying, ants move food, and flying insects cut through the airflow.

As long as the sound is within a thousand feet, it cannot escape Fang Ping's capture.

However, the young man in red sitting in front of him, just like a corpse, has no breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse, and no sound of blood flowing.

This is so weird.

Fang Ping tried his best to maintain his superficial calm and composure, and probed further: "Mr. Luo is a talented person, where did he come from, and where did he go?"

Luo Quan's half-smile was not a smile. When the prey was frightened, it would emit an unpleasant smell. For this reason, he couldn't make Fang Ping alert, "Come from a far away place."

"Can I show you the palmistry? You can also feel the bones."

Everyone in the inn:? ? ?

"Forget it, I live next door to you, we will meet again soon." Luo Quan got up and walked to the second floor.

The eyes in the inn, reluctantly looked at the back, until Luo Quan disappeared at the end of the stairs.

"Shopkeeper Tong."

Fang Ping stood in front of shopkeeper Tong thoughtfully.

"I want to borrow someone from you." Fang Ping couldn't help saying, grabbed Lao Bai and walked out of the inn.

"Don't, it's not good to gossip in broad daylight...Where are you going to take me, you don't want to take me to the Yamen?"

Fang Ping glanced at this room, and he was worthy of the words "cowardly as a mouse", but this is not the standard for judging a person. Some people are naturally timid, but it does not mean that they have no courage.
