If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 137: Jackals, Wolves, Snakes and Scorpions
"Damn it, he's been following me!"

About half an hour later, Xiaoyu could still find Guan Qiong nearby.

It wasn't like he was standing opposite her staring at her face.

After seeing her close her eyes again but without the strange state of "harmony between man and nature" on her body, he left Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiaoyu was relieved at the time, thinking that the guy was just passing by Xiaojingxuan, or coming here to check in every day.

But after a while, she saw him floating back from the west of the city, back to the highest point of Hongxiufang - the rockery pavilion in the front yard.

Xiaoyu was about sixty or seventy meters away from the rockery pavilion, so he couldn't see him at first. The 1.1 version of Xinhai Jue had just been deduced, and currently it could only project scenes within ten feet (thirty-meter radius) into the heart sea.

The farther the distance, the blurrier it gets. If the distance is more than ten feet, you basically have to rely on luck.

Because Guan Qiong was staring at her intently, she had a faint sense of it.

The familiar feeling made her guess that he was following her.

After that, Guan Qiong left several times.

They would walk around Tianmen Town and then return to the small pavilion on the rockery, continuing to stare in the direction of Xiaojingxuan.

Another half an hour later, Xiao Yu was surprised to "see" a divine general shining with a faint golden light flying over his head at an extremely fast speed. Suddenly, the general entered the perception range of his heart and disappeared in an instant.

Another hour passed, and Xiaoyu calmed down after seeing six or seven waves of light that looked like ghosts and gods passing by nearby.

Or it's desensitization, numbness.

She had an epiphany: ghosts and gods are responsible for monitoring the human world, and the ghosts and gods in this world are like surveillance cameras in public places in her previous life.

People in the previous life could not escape the surveillance of cameras in their daily life and work.

This world seems to be technologically backward and socially primitive, but the supervision of the human world by the "big guys above" is more stringent than that of cameras.

Because the power and efficiency of ghosts and gods far exceed that of cameras.

Based on her superficial observation, even the most worthless Guan family ghosts could quickly patrol a large area.

They are not like ordinary people who use their eyes to look slowly and their ears to listen slowly. They have a very broad "field of vision".

"No wonder people often say that there is a god above your head, and that the gods and ghosts know your every thought. This is not a metaphor, this is the reality of this world!"

For a moment, Xiaoyu recalled Guan Huchen's warning to her that day: Ghosts and gods cannot know everything, but they know most things in the world. Once humans know something, ghosts and gods will definitely know it.

“If ghosts and gods are cameras, then the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the City God is the host that collects data and processes information.

The 'host' in the hands of the City God is connected to the 'main host' of the underworld. The King of Hell sits in the underworld and knows everything about the world.

Once we know everything in the world, it becomes possible to use big data to deduce destiny and customize the future.

Then arrange for the City God to repair and adjust the fate of all beings in the Book of Life and Death, and errors and minor accidents can be reduced to a minimum. "

Xiaoyu doesn't know whether the underworld really operates according to this mechanism.

But she was very sure that if all the existing underworld systems were deleted, she could still do it.

Well, just follow the above steps to rebuild the underworld. Even if the "copycat·Magic Technology Book of Life and Death" does not have very powerful magical functions, as long as the super·immortal magic·main brain's ability to process data is strong enough, the new "Yu Fengxian Brand·Six Paths of Reincarnation System" can also operate normally.

Of course, there is a major premise: the efficient means by which ghosts and gods monitor the world has nothing to do with the Book of Life and Death.

If the original Book of Life and Death is lost, ghosts and gods will become ordinary ghosts, unable to travel thousands of miles in an instant, unable to record a small urban area at a glance, and their efficiency will not be able to keep up, and they will be unable to collect "all valid data in the world", and the six realms of reincarnation will collapse.

"Okay, it's almost time for lunch, let's stop and rest for a while."

It is summer now and the sun is strong at noon. Xiaoyu brought Ziying back to the yard and handed her a towel wrung dry.

Ziying is really hardworking and has a tenacious character, and has the same vigorous vitality as sedge.

After practicing for three or four hours, she was very tired and sweaty, but there was no sign of decadence or boredom on her face. Instead, her eyes were shining with excitement.

"Xiao Fengxian, your little yellow flower sword is amazing. I feel like my body is getting stronger every day."

Putting down the towel, Ziying picked up the melon on the table and started to eat it.

"The training of mind, spirit and energy not only includes the techniques and routines, but strengthening the body is one of its functions." Xiaoyu said.

"Hehe, I know practicing sword skills can strengthen the body, but the sisters in Lixiang Garden are obviously not as good as me. It's your little yellow flower sword that is powerful." Ziying smiled happily, and there was gratitude and admiration in her eyes when she looked at Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu smiled proudly, "The traditional "Nine Flower Sword" is mainly for practicing a trace of the charm of famous flowers, and the creator has no interest in physical training.

Your little yellow flower sword is the comprehensive development of the 'divine body', which will be of great benefit to your Qi training in the future."

A few months ago, she was still a barbarian on the sand dunes and had never even seen a book.

Now, several months later, especially after following Jinlian to various high-end banquets and meeting and visiting many "grandparents", she can be regarded as a "little master" who has learned the strengths of many schools.

Hongqiu, who at least had top-notch knowledge and experience, was deeply envious of her "talent".

"Alas, I'm very strong, I can run fast and jump high, but I eat a lot." Ziying sighed.

Xiaoyu wants to suggest that she drink bone-strengthening soup.

But she immediately thought of how Ziying had brought her lunch and dinner for a month, and she only earned two hundred yuan. Two hundred yuan could not even buy a packet of bone-strengthening medicine.

If I just give her money to buy medicine for her, Ziying will definitely not accept it.

Now, even the two hundred coins as allowance given to her, Ziying refused to take it.

Especially after teaching her swordsmanship, Ziying wanted to offer some of her belongings as a gift to become his apprentice.

Before giving money, Xiaoyu and Ziying were friends of equal personality; after accepting Xiaoyu's financial support, she became inferior and could only be Xiaoyu's "little follower" (slave).

"Did Aunt Liu teach you the breathing technique?" Xiaoyu asked.

If poor people want to learn martial arts, there are basically only two ways: one is to join a certain force and sell themselves to earn resources for practice; if they don’t want to join others, then they can find a breathing method and practice to the realm of true qi as soon as possible.

The internal Qi state is a small circulation of Qi in the body.

In the Qi state, the Qi in the body and the Qi of nature form a great circulation.

To put it simply, the Qi realm can absorb the essence from between heaven and earth to strengthen itself.

Therefore, when warriors reach the Qi realm, they almost never take low-level tonics.

The physical fitness of warriors in the True Qi Realm is generally stronger than that of warriors in the Internal Qi Realm.

Ziying asked curiously, "Why did Aunt Liu teach me the art of breathing? According to the rules of Hongxiufang, only if I practice sword skills, Aunt Liu will help me find the appropriate breathing techniques, sword manuals, body movements, weapons, etc.

If you don't have the sword spirit, you can either spend money to learn martial arts at a nearby martial arts school, or find a patron."

Hongxiufang is not just a brothel. Lixiangyuan has sword techniques and martial arts that you can learn at will, and there are aunts to teach you.

But it is not like other sects that regard martial arts as their core industry. Hongxiufang does not have any mandatory requirements for girls' martial arts.

Whether you practice or not, not many resources will be provided unless you can show super talent.

"Do you know that Aunt Liu has mastered the most advanced breathing method?" Xiaoyu said.

Ziying asked, "Are you talking about the 'Hunyuan Wuliang Gong'?"

"Well, the Hunyuan Wuji power practiced by Hunyuan Wuliang is extremely powerful, and the aura is continuous. It combines many magical effects such as defense, killing enemies, healing, and body building in one. It is almost the strongest breathing technique in Tianmen Town." Xiaoyu said.

Aunt Liu’s Hun Yuan Wu Liang is extremely powerful, almost a fairy martial arts version of the “Nine Yang Divine Art”.

Before the Nine Yang Divine Art is fully developed, overexerting will lead to fatal side effect of losing energy.

After the assassination at Hongxiufang, Xiaoyu took Aunt Liu to see Doctor Min. Doctor Min said in person: Fortunately, I practiced the "Hunyuan Wuliang". The Hunyuan Wuji power has infinite vitality, endless true energy, and continuous vitality. Otherwise, if the liver was half-cooked by fire, the person would be disabled if it was taken back.

Let’s look at Aunt Liu’s performance. Her liver was removed on the first night and she was discharged from the hospital on the third day. She ran around everywhere on the day of her discharge. Now, less than a week has passed, and she is already going out to greet guests in a wheelchair.

Ziying smiled and said, "Aunt Liu's extraordinary skills have nothing to do with me."

"You are her little follower, running around like a top, shouldn't she give you something in return?"

Xiaoyu wanted to say: Ziying, you are talented, hardworking, and obedient. Aunt Liu should invest in you.

Ziying shook her head and said with a sincere smile: "Aunt Liu is very kind to me, I am very grateful to her.

If I continue to force her to give me the secret manual of her magical skills, I would be heartless."

After a pause, she said with a complicated expression: "The rules of Hongxiufang apply to us, and the same applies to Aunt Liu.

No one taught her kung fu back then, so she must have paid a price beyond imagination to obtain the Hun Yuan Wu Liang. "

Xiaoyu admitted that Ziying was right and agreed with Ziying's approach.

She coveted Aunt Liu's "Hunyuan Wuliang", but she also never took the initiative to ask for it.

But she doesn't intend to abide by the rules of this world herself.

"You should learn the Xiong Long Gong from me! Read more Taoist scriptures on weekdays, and I will also explain them to you. You don't need to accumulate too much Taoist energy. When you need to find the energy and tap the pulse, I can help you."

"Xiong Long Gong" is just an excuse. Xiao Yu will teach Zi Ying "Jade Pendant and Gold Earring Tai Chi Golden Book" in the future!
The reason why it is in the future and not now is that Xiaoyu himself has not yet mastered it and is currently in the analysis stage; another reason is that he is worried that after it is exposed, Prince Qinghe will cause trouble for Ziying.

Like the "Xiong Long Gong", the "Jade Pendant and Golden Tai Chi Golden Book" requires the accumulation of Taoist energy, searching for Taoist energy and lighting up the spiritual veins by oneself.

The difficulty of practicing internal energy in Tai Chi Golden Book is ten or even a hundred times that of "Xiong Long Gong".

The Prince of Qinghe gave the "Golden Book of Tai Chi with Jade Pendant and Gold Ornament" to Xiaoyu because he learned that she had mastered the "Xiong Long Gong" in less than a month. It should be noted that one month before Xiaoyu completed the Qi-finding and pulse-opening, she was still an illiterate indigenous barbarian.

In a month's time, he went from being illiterate to being able to recognize words, write, and read, recite Taoist scriptures, and understand the Taoist meanings. He then accumulated enough Taoist energy to light up his spiritual veins and cultivate the first ray of internal energy.

The Prince of Qinghe was amazed at her natural wisdom and thought that she had a chance to master the Golden Book of Tai Chi, so he gave the Golden Book to her as a reward.

But Xiaoyu did not intend to practice according to the Tai Chi Golden Book completely.

She plans to absorb the essence of the Golden Book of Tai Chi and integrate it with the Xiong Long Gong and other breathing methods.

It's not that she wants to show off and use her body as a furnace to refine all the scriptures.

She simply didn't want to be manipulated.

The Golden Book of Tai Chi in her hand only has the first volume.
She couldn't wait until the Prince of Qinghe really started to control her before she started to get angry, regretful, roaring, and helpless, and finally tried to refine the Hundred Classics in the Furnace. By then, the Tai Chi Golden Book had already become the foundation, and it would be too late.

Xiaoyu plans to teach Ziying the "New Tai Chi Golden Book" which is the result of integrating hundreds of classics into Ziying's furnace in the future.

She doesn't care about any sectarianism at all and doesn't worry about her core skills being learned by others.

She is a person who is destined to become an immortal, but she is still entangled in the immortal martial arts of mortals. Isn't that low?
Even if she really becomes an immortal one day, she will not be stingy with the method to become an immortal.

She will always pursue innovation and create something stronger and more perfect.

Of course, her generosity does not mean that she will teach the Dharma casually.

Those who are not in her eyes, even if they have immortal bones and immortal fate, can never get the slightest chance from her.

"Xiao Fengxian, it's noon now. Master Gongsun and Sister Jinlian have prepared a feast to entertain you!"

Xiaoyu was just taking out the "Tao Te Ching" and preparing to preach to Ziying when Chun'er from Yihongyuan came over again.

"Just invite me?" Xiaoyu asked.

"There are three more guests. They were not invited by Master Gongsun, but they just happened to be here." Chun'er said.

Xiaoyu glanced at Ziying. Her original intention was to ask - could Ziying have a free meal?
Ziying smiled and said, "Go quickly. Reading the scriptures can wait until the evening. You can teach me when I bring dinner to Xiaojingxuan."

Xiaoyu nodded and followed Chuner out.

"Who are these three guests? Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Chun Er smiled and said, "They are all old acquaintances. Mr. Wen, who is as gentle as jade, you have met him a few times, right?

There is also Mr. Xiao from Lianhua Lane and Monk Miao from Shimen Road.”

Xiao Yu said, "I know Mr. Xiao, Monk Miao. Is he not Baldy Miao?"

"That's him. It's impolite to call him baldy. It's better to call him 'monk'." Chun'er covered her mouth and giggled.

Uncle Xiao and Baldy Miao are both scholars with honors, but they do nothing.

Uncle Xiao secretly formed a gang, cheating, forcing women of good families into prostitution. He was even more despicable and shameless than Bu Sigui.

Miao Tuzi is a high-level hanger-on who eats everyone's food.

These two men may have been Jinlian's lovers, but their relationship with Jinlian was not that of clients.

Jinlian is a bit expensive, and these two guys can't afford her.

They mainly help Jinlian to make connections and introduce her to wealthy businessmen and big shots in the underworld.

The local ladybugs naturally don't need their pimping.

But Tianmen Town is an important commercial center. There are wealthy people from other places coming here every day, but they are not very familiar with Tianmen Town.

After Jinlian made money, she would treat them to drinks and sometimes help them pay for prostitution at Hongxiufang.

They can also use the Golden Lotus to elevate their status in the eyes of wealthy merchants and bigwigs in the underworld.

Well, raising one's status by getting to know famous prostitutes sounds low, but in Tianmen Town, they are considered "jackals, snakes and scorpions". In front of the common people who are just "chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep", they are still considered big shots with all kinds of connections.
