Chapter 0041 Extra
Sun Guiwu suddenly stopped, listened carefully, and confirmed that the sound came from Li Chengkong's house.
"Damn it!" Sun Guiwu sat down on the stone bench beside the well and snorted, "I'm so stupid!"
Song Minghua and Hu Yunshi both laughed.
"Now you realize that you are stupid!" said Hu Yunshi.
Sun Guiwu glared at them angrily: "You are worrying for nothing. It's useless. Old Li doesn't need me to worry about him!"
Li Chengkong sat on the couch and smiled.
The internal force of the Four Symbols Realm became more and more condensed, and the speed at which the Purple Yang Divine Art of the Six Yang Realm integrated with Yuan Mingxue's internal force increased greatly.
"Bang!" Jiang Shuting pushed the door open with big strides, sat down on the stone bench beside the well, grabbed a palm-leaf fan and fanned it violently.
"Where is Old Li?" Jiang Shuting asked when he saw that Li Chengkong was not there.
"Yes." Sun Guiwu nodded towards Li Chengkong's room.
Jiang Shuting understood and shook his head: "This old Li is really trying too hard!"
"Someone is chasing us, so we have to fight hard." Song Minghua said.
Jiang Shuting nodded: "That's true, if you don't fight, you will die, big news!"
"Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense!" Sun Guiwu looked unhappy and was still angry.
Jiang Shuting laughed excitedly and said, "The Xiaoling Guard is going to recruit outsiders from among our vegetable-growing eunuchs. They will be considered as non-staff members of the Xiaoling Guard, the Xiaoling External Guard!"
Li Chengkong pushed the door open and came out, having almost recovered.
"Old Li!" Jiang Shuting waved his palm-leaf fan and greeted him enthusiastically: "Good news!"
Li Chengkong came over and asked, "Xiaoling outer guard?"
"We vegetable-growing eunuchs can't be transferred." Jiang Shuting said with a smile , "So we can't be transferred to the Xiaoling Guard, can't be included in the establishment, don't receive salaries, and don't count towards the quota."
"Then what kind of Xiaoling Guard is this!" Sun Guiwu snorted.
Jiang Shuting said: "To the outside world, we are still growing vegetables, but to the inside, we are also the Xiaoling Guard."
"What's the use?" Sun Guiwu shook his head.
Jiang Shuting said: "The Xiaoling Outer Guards are treated similarly to the Xiaoling Guards. They have their own independent courtyards, generous subsidies, and most importantly, they can wander around outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum."
"Leaving Xiaoling Mausoleum?" Sun Guiwu straightened his body.
Song Minghua and Hu Yunshi's eyes also lit up.
Li Chengkong seemed to be thinking about something.
He never believed that pie would fall from the sky, nor did he believe that good things would come to the weak.
Sun Guiwu couldn't wait to ask: "How can I become the outer guard of Xiaoling Mausoleum?"
Jiang Shuting said: "Register yourself, and Director Qin and Lord Han will personally check it out. It has to pass their approval."
Sun Guiwu looked at Li Chengkong eagerly: "Old Li, what are you waiting for? Let's go and sign up!"
Li Chengkong shook his head.
Sun Guiwu snorted, "Don't you want to?"
"Wait a little longer." Li Chengkong said, "No rush."
Jiang Shuting said: "It seems that only six people are recruited."
"Look!" Sun Guiwu could no longer sit still and stood up: "There are only six, hurry up!"
They are only considered middle-level among the hundreds of vegetable-growing eunuchs in Liyuan Realm.
There are only six places. If ranked according to martial arts, Li Chengkong would be able to rank, but the other three would not.
Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "Can such a good thing happen to us? Let's wait and see."
Song Minghua said: "Just listen to Lao Li and wait."
"Alas..." Sun Guiwu sat down dejectedly and said weakly: "You will regret it one day!"
Jiang Shuting hesitated: "Could it be that there is something fishy going on here? That's not the case, is it? Director Qin won't harm us."
"I just know that it's never easy to take advantage." Li Chengkong returned to his room and continued practicing.
Jiang Shuting scratched his head.
Sun Guiwu glared at him: "Aren't you going to sign up?"
Jiang Shuting said embarrassedly: "I have already reported it."
Sun Guiwu looked at Song Minghua and Hu Yunshi.
The two remained unmoved.
"Just listen to Old Li, you won't go wrong." Hu Yunshi said.
Jiang Shuting said: "You've made me want to withdraw my registration, but I don't know if I can do so."
When he heard the news, he was extremely excited and rushed to sign up without hesitation. Now he is slowly coming to his senses.
A smart guy like Li Chengkong didn't sign up, and I shouldn't have signed up either.
Sun Guiwu stared at him.
Jiang Shuting said: "I'm going to see if I can retreat."
He put down his palm-leaf fan and hurried away.
"Look, they're not stupid." Hu Yunshi glanced at Sun Guiwu.
Sun Guiwu snorted.
Seeing Jiang Shuting like this, he was a little nervous.
After a while, Jiang Shuting looked miserable and shook his head: "Once we've reported it, we can't withdraw. This is not a joke."
Song Minghua said: "It may not be possible to be selected, Lao Jiang, don't be anxious."
"It's good to be selected." Sun Guiwu said, "I can finally go out and get some fresh air. I'm so bored staying here all day long."
"This is our fate. Is it different in the palace?" Song Minghua said with a smile, "At least it's better than staying in prison."
He felt relaxed and comfortable, more at ease than in the imperial palace. He didn't have to worry or engage in intrigue.
Although life is dull and boring, it is comfortable.
It’s not bad to live a life like this.
The next day when Li Chengkong went to the vegetable garden, Wang Ruoyu was already sitting at the wooden table and making tea.
Li Chengkong sat down, picked up the brewed tea in front of him and took a sip.
Wang Ruoyu took out a thin booklet from his bosom: "Here, this is what the lady gave you. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I can see that she meant it as an apology."
Li Chengkong took it with a smile: "Madam is thoughtful."
He understood Luo Qinglan's approach. If he were in her shoes, he would make the same choice, but he would still have some resentment.
He increasingly understood that he could not rely on others and that he had to rely on himself in the end and could not expect help or mercy from others.
But Luo Qinglan's secret book still needs to be collected.
"Great Sky Star Palm." Li Chengkong opened the thin book and looked up at Wang Ruoyu again.
"This has nothing to do with the Taisu Yuxing Jue." Wang Ruoyu said, "I just found it in the Holy Hall according to the Taisu Yuxing Jue."
Li Chengkong said: "I owe my wife more and more."
"I hope you don't hold a grudge against her." Wang Ruoyu said with a smile.
He looked at Li Chengkong secretly.
Li Chengkong said: "No matter how sad I am, Madam is my benefactor after all, how can I bear a grudge against her?"
“Haha…” Wang Ruoyu laughed, “She’s just good at saying nice things . If it were me, I would definitely hate her to death.”
Li Chengkong smiled: "I know you won't watch me die, Old Wang. That's enough."
I am not money, how can I be loved by everyone?
"You see it clearly!" Wang Ruoyu laughed.
Li Chengkong is indeed smart, but his wife is cold-hearted and only cares about her own people, and is indifferent to outsiders.
Li Chengkong is on good terms with her, but in her wife's eyes, he is only there to help her if he can, and if he can't help her, then forget it. He is far from being her own friend.
Madam doesn't accept outsiders so easily.
Li Chengkong simulated the Great Sky Star Palm in his mind.
This Great Sky Star Palm has two characteristics. One is that it controls the most yin and cold power. The other is that the mental method is complex and varied, and the power can be stacked.
Through complex mental methods, power is accumulated layer by layer.
The accumulation of power seems simple, as if it only needs to be repeated again and again, condensed without releasing, and then burst out in one go.
When you actually put it into practice, you will find that the power of this approach is very low and cannot be stacked several times.
The Great Star Palm is different.
It accumulates power through different mental methods, just like adding stones, pebbles, sand, and water to a bottle.
Generally speaking, the superposition of palm techniques is just to add pebbles blindly, but the number of pebbles that a bottle can hold is limited.
