Chapter 4292 4294 [Fireworks in March in Yangzhou]
In the next few days, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling practiced in the camp every day.
When they were hungry, they picked some wild fruits to fill their stomachs, and when they were thirsty, they drank mountain spring water to quench their thirst. They did this day and night, and soon they made some achievements.
"Oh, Master Zhong, why do I feel that there is a stream of qi running around in my body? Wow, I can't stand it, it hurts so much!" That day, Xu Ziling was practicing, and suddenly his whole body trembled non-stop, as if he had been electrocuted.
Xiang Nan knew that this was because he had practiced martial arts at the age of 18, which was past the best time to practice martial arts, and his meridians had gradually become blocked.
Therefore, after practicing the magical skill of "The Secret of Longevity", the true qi began to flow in the meridians, accumulating more and more.
At the beginning, because the true qi practiced was only a little bit, it could barely flow in the narrow meridians.
But as the true qi became more and more, the narrow meridians were no longer enough, so the true qi rushed through the meridians, causing him to tremble all over and suffer unspeakably.
But in fact, this is a good thing!
"Don't be afraid, Master Ling, I'll help you!" Xiang Nan said, and joined hands with Xu Ziling, channeling his internal force into his body to help him expand his meridians and return to his origin.
With Xiang Nan's help, Xu Ziling's blocked meridians were quickly expanded, and the raging and violent Qi in his meridians became calm.
"Thanks to you, Master Zhong, otherwise I'm really afraid I would die." Xu Ziling said with lingering fear.
"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, I'm here, I will never let anything happen to you." Xiang Nan smiled.
Xu Ziling nodded gratefully.
...
Two days later, Xu Ziling suddenly shouted, "Wow, Master Zhong, my eyes seem to be better, not only can I see clearly, but I can also see very far."
He was originally half blind, but now not only has his vision recovered, but he can also see very far. It can be said that he can see a fly hundreds of meters away clearly.
"Really?! I was just about to tell you that my ears can now hear very far." Xiang Nan laughed. In fact, his ears could hear very far.
However, "The Secret of Immortality" is indeed a top-notch magic skill, which makes his hearing more acute. Even the smallest sound can be heard clearly.
"So, one of us has a thousand-mile eye and the other has a sharp ear. It's amazing!" Xu Ziling laughed.
"That's great, Master Ling. Your eyes have recovered, and I feel much less guilty." Xiang Nan also laughed.
"I know." Xu Ziling nodded, "In fact, I never blame you."
"I know, too, because we are good brothers." Xiang Nan patted his shoulder, and everything was self-explanatory. "Speaking of which, we have made some progress in internal strength now.
But if we only know internal strength and don't know the moves, we are not martial arts masters. Let's go to Yangzhou, find a master to learn a few moves, so that we don't have internal strength but can't use it."
"That makes sense." Xu Ziling thought about it and nodded.
"Then we'll be on the road." Xiang Nan smiled and drove the carriage to Yangzhou.
The reason why he wanted to go to Yangzhou was mainly because Song Yuzhi was in Yangzhou.
Xiang Nan came with a mission this time, and he couldn't forget his duty.
...
Xiang Nan drove the "Double Dragon Car" and took Xu Ziling all the way to Yangzhou.
"Wow, Yangzhou is really prosperous and lively." When he entered the city, he saw people coming and going on the streets, and cars and horses were like flowing water and dragons. Such a lively atmosphere made Xu Ziling excited.
"Of course, haven't you heard the saying, 'With ten thousand taels of silver, you can ride a crane to Yangzhou'." Xiang Nan laughed, "Yangzhou is naturally prosperous, and immortals and rich people all want to come here."
"That's right." Xu Ziling also laughed, "We have traveled all over the country and visited so many places, why didn't we think of coming to Yangzhou? What a pity."
"It's not too late to come now." Xiang Nan laughed, "Let's go to Shilong Taoist Temple to become a disciple. If he is willing to accept us as disciples, then we will have a place to stay. If he is not willing to accept us, we will have time to find something to do, so we won't be hungry for another night."
"That's right." Xu Ziling nodded immediately.
They have been exhausted all the way, with no money or food, and they can only rely on wild fruits to fill their stomachs. It can be said that it is very hard.
Xiang Nan has reached the state of fasting, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat. But Xu Ziling is still a mortal. He hasn't eaten well for a few days and is really hungry now.
"Then let's go to Shilong Dojo first." Xiang Nan said, and then asked passers-by where the "Shilong Dojo" was.
"Why are you asking about him? Taoist Shilong has been dead for several days, and Shilong Dojo has been destroyed by the imperial army." The passer-by curled his lips when he heard it.
A few days ago, Yu Wenhuaji, the right guard general of the imperial court, led his army to Shilong Dojo. He not only killed Shilong, but also destroyed the dojo. Later, he set up checkpoints on the road to search.
It is said that Taoist Shilong colluded with the Korean assassins, intending to assassinate the emperor and plot a rebellion. This matter was once a sensation, and many people in Yangzhou knew about it.
"Thank you, brother." Xiang Nan bowed, and then looked at Xu Ziling, "It's over, now I can't become a disciple."
"It doesn't matter, Zhong Shao, anyway, even if we go, we may not be able to become a disciple, so don't worry about it first." Xu Ziling advised.
"That's true. Let's go. Let's find a place to stay first, and then find something to eat." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Yangzhou City is so big, there must be many masters, and we won't have to worry about not finding a master."
"That's right." Xu Ziling nodded.
...
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling immediately began to look for a place to stay, and soon learned that today was the birthday of Li Xiuning, the fourth daughter of the Taiyuan Li family.
Chai Shao, the richest man in the world, specially held a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the city and invited the people of the city to participate. At that time, there will be not only delicious food, but also various wonderful performances.
"Wow, inviting the people of the whole city to a banquet, this Mr. Chai is really generous." After hearing this, Xu Ziling couldn't help but sigh.
He could afford to invite hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou City. He is really too rich.
"Yes, he is really too rich." Xiang Nan said admiringly, "Let's go, Mr. Ling, such a lively place, it's a waste not to go."
"Well said." Xu Ziling nodded.
The two then hid the double dragon car and followed to the Li family's mansion.
They saw that the people in the city had lined up at the door of the Li family's mansion early, ready to go in and enjoy a delicious and sumptuous meal in the evening.
"Wow, there are so many people in line, when will it be our turn?" Xu Ziling was surprised.
The long queue at the entrance of the Li family's hotel was several miles long. When it was their turn to go in, there would be no swill left.
"Stupid, why are we queuing like a fool?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Follow me~"
