Chapter 10: Fengyun Villa
late at night.
After practicing martial arts, Cao Jinxing lay down on the bed to rest. He had to report to the government office early the next morning. It was not easy to be a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty.
The white cat Regulus lay beside his pillow, close to his neck.
This posture was not very comfortable. Cao Jinxing tried to move it away several times, but this guy just dragged his lame leg up again with an aggrieved expression on his face.
If this were a human being, Cao Jinxing would never tolerate him, but since he is a hidden cat slave, he can only let it go.
Fourteen was satisfied.
But before it could fall asleep peacefully, it suddenly heard a dog barking. Fourteen's eyes suddenly widened, his hair stood up, and he hugged Cao Jinxing's neck tightly, shaking all over.
Cao Jinxing sighed deeply.
"I know that with my less than 10 fortunes, it is impossible for a strange beast to recognize its master for no reason. Even if there is one, it is probably difficult to get it..."
He sat up.
His face was gloomy.
"Everyone, I advise you not to take action now. If you destroy my house, I will make sure you suffer the consequences!"
The terrifying cold air was released and then disappeared immediately.
The surroundings were quiet.
Cao Jinxing slowly put on a white robe, held the Embroidered Spring Sword in one hand, and walked out of the room holding Fourteen in the other.
There were five people standing in the yard.
There were no less than thirty or forty people surrounding the gate outside the yard, and a dozen large dogs were staring at Fourteen, growling lowly.
Cao Jinxing was in a bad mood. He pointed his long sword at the ground, the blade was sharp as snow, and looked at these people coldly: "Give me a reasonable explanation for breaking into my house in the middle of the night."
Embroidered Spring Knife!
The pupils of the five men shrank sharply. This was getting tricky! How could he escape to the Jinyiwei? Judging from the pattern on the knife, he was actually a centurion!
——Anyone who kills the Jinyiwei will be guilty of treason and his entire clan will be exterminated!
Unless you don't want to stay in the capital anymore, once the Pacification Office investigates, the result will be the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan.
Others can compete, but Fengyun Villa cannot.
It's not only because of Zhuangzi, but also because the owner of Zhuangzi, Zhang Dajing, is a wealthy man in the capital. Once the Jinyiwei is killed, all his property will become nothing.
"Please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night. The spirit cat Xue Liuli in your hand is the spirit beast lost by Fengyun Mountain Villa. It concerns the safety of the owner of the villa. I beg you to return it."
The leader kept a very humble attitude.
Cao Jinxing laughed and said, "Yours? You chopped off his legs and poisoned him, but he wasn't caught. How could it be yours? With the way you guys act, if I really fall into your hands, I'm afraid that cages and ropes would be the least of your punishment... Don't say it's not yours. Even if it is, it's not yours now. Get out!"
“…”
The leader broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to get angry but he was concerned about the other party's strength and status. If he just left in disgrace, the young master would not be able to explain himself.
When it's difficult.
"Guan Chong, step back."
Zhang Chengfeng appeared: "Everyone return to the villa, your mission has been completed."
Everyone wanted to get away from the Jinyiwei as soon as possible and disappear quickly.
Cao Jinxing glanced at him and said, "Don't go any further. If you dare point the [Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle] at me, I will kill you without a complete corpse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of knife light, and a sharp white knife mark appeared on the wall thirty meters away!
It is three feet long, five inches deep, and surrounded by ice flowers!
Seeing such power in a casual blow, Zhang Chengfeng had to stop and smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency's martial arts are great, I admire you. But, you know, I have been looking for it for eight years. Even if I die today, I will bring it back to cure my father's illness!"
“…”
Cao Jinxing frowned, it was indeed troublesome, and said impatiently: "There are countless spiritual medicines in the world. I heard that Fengyun Villa is a wealthy man in Beijing. Why do you have to pick on a cat?"
Zhang Chengfeng said: "My father was hit by the true energy of the Demonic Cult's "Holy Fire Canon", and his vitality was almost evaporated by the devil fire in his heart. The civet cat Xue Liuli is a natural alien species with strong vitality. Its heart has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, so..."
Cao Jinxing sneered: "You are an interesting son. Your father is being tortured by a different kind of true energy, but you don't try to put out the fire. It's useless to just add fuel to the fire!"
"I……"
Zhang Chengfeng said bitterly: "Your Excellency makes it sound so easy! The Sacred Fire Canon is the most powerful skill of the Ming Sect among the three sects of the Demon Sect , and it is ranked at the upper fifth level! It is not easy to extinguish its anger!"
Cao Jinxing simply sat down: "I want to hear what's so difficult about it."
Zhang Chengfeng said: "The magic fire true qi burns the internal organs. All the spiritual herbs and elixirs of lower grade can only suppress it but not eliminate it. Long-term use of the medicine will lead to drug resistance. If you don't take it for a day, the pain will intensify! If you want to put out the fire, you can only start with the Yin cold true qi. However, the ice-based mental skills are extreme, such as the "Tai Su Yin Jing". It is easy to kill people but difficult to save people... According to the genius doctor Sai Hua Tuo, there are only two known mental skills that can put out fires without hurting people. One is "Minghai Guiyuan Jue" and the other is "Ice Xuanjian". The former is the secret of the owner of Penglai Island in the East China Sea, and the latter is in the palace. It is the unique skill of the eunuch Lu Gonggong who holds the seal of the Silijian..."
At this point, Zhang Chengfeng's expression became even more bitter. "The owner of Penglai Island is like a mysterious dragon that can't be found. I have sent people out to sea many times but have not been able to find him. Eunuch Lu is the internal minister and lives deep in the palace. He is busy with all kinds of affairs. No matter how rich my Zhang family is, he is nothing but a piece of shit in his eyes. How could he possibly invite him to treat my father's illness? If it weren't for the fact that we are really incompetent, who would be willing to add fuel to the fire..."
Zhang Chengfeng's eyes were moist.
“…”
Cao Jinxing glanced at the changes in his expression, trying to find any signs of lying.
"As a son of a man, the spirit cat has no choice but to beg! Today, Zhang Chengfeng dares to ask you to let me go. I have a valuable gift for you! If you don't let me go..."
His eyes were already red with anger, and he had two more [Heavenly Thunder Seeds] in his hands. Once this thing exploded, everything within a hundred meters would be reduced to dust!
This means we will all die together!
He is a filial son.
Cao Jinxing sighed helplessly: "I know the Lightning Step, and this thing of yours can't kill me. Let's go."
He stood up, threw it aside, and put the Xiuchun Sword back into its scabbard in the room.
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Chengfeng was a little confused.
"Of course I'll go to your house. I'll help save your father, and you stay away from my cat. Can you do that?"
"you……"
Zhang Chengfeng was stunned, then he reacted, surprised and happy: "If you can really save my father, I will even worship it!"
Cao Jinxing: "That's not necessary. It was injured because of you. You are responsible for all the resources needed to heal it."
Zhang Chengfeng nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I will order someone to send it some natural treasures to make amends! Eat as much as you want! From now on, all meals will be provided by my Zhang family!"
"Remember your words today."
"If you disobey this order, God will strike you with lightning!"
"Then let's go."
Cao Jinxing held Xuanyuan Shisi in his arms and strode out of the door in big strides.
Zhang Chengfeng patted his face to make sure it was not a dream, then he followed in ecstasy.
…
Cao Jinxing believed in the old Taoist's judgment. Since the Yin energy of the "Tai Su Yin Jing" was sufficient, then the "Han Chan Gong" which was no less powerful than it would definitely work.
He didn't know how vicious other ice-based martial arts were, but the Cold Toad Kung Fu could indeed nourish the meridians and heal injuries.
He himself is an example.
Since both conditions were met, Cao Jinxing simply helped him to avoid him pestering him.
late at night.
There was total silence in Fengyun Villa.
Cao Jinxing entered Zhang Dajing's bedroom dressed in white. Looking at the haggard old man on the bed, he couldn't help but be shocked by the ruthless methods of the cult.
I heard that Zhang Dajing was a handsome young man in his early years. Although he did not have high martial arts talent, he was elegant, talented, and proficient in multiple languages.
He made his first fortune by traveling along the Silk Road with a caravan to Persia. After that, his business grew bigger and bigger and became unstoppable.
Such a great man of his generation was tortured to death and turned into a zombie...
There were already a lot of low-grade treasures on the table, which were specially prepared for Fourteenth, but Fourteenth held Cao Jinxing's clothes tightly, full of vigilance, and did not dare to leave.
"Don't be afraid."
Cao Jinxing touched its head and said, "Eat as much as you can. The more you eat, the faster your wound will heal."
His voice was so gentle that Zhang Chengfeng and others beside him found it incredible. It was much softer than when he spoke to them.
Fourteen understood, licked his tongue and pounced into the food, swallowing it in big gulps, but his eyes never left Cao Jinxing.
Cao Jinxing sat down beside the bed.
Zhang Chengfeng handed over a piece of paper: "This is the method of eliminating the fire energy of the Holy Fire Classic that Hua Tuo found in ancient books..."
Cao Jinxing took a quick glance and understood everything.
He took a deep breath.
In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped drastically!
Zhang Chengfeng, Guan Chong and others were pleasantly surprised:
There is really hope!
Cao Jinxing placed two fingers on Zhang Dajing's wrist and, according to the ancient method, controlled the cold toad energy to flow through his body meridians:
Yunmen, Shenzang, Yutang, Jiuwei...
Although this Holy Fire Qi has not dissipated for many years, it is still a long-lasting one.
He can still show off his power when facing ordinary true qi, but he will be defeated when facing the cold toad skill.
Before Cao Jinxing could exert much effort, the fire had already slowly dissipated.
For many years, Zhang Dajing had been tortured by his anger and his life was worse than death. Only at this moment did he feel as if an ice river had passed over him, and he felt extremely refreshed.
The redness on his face gradually faded and returned to its normal color. His brows, which had been furrowed all the time, relaxed and he looked gentle and relaxed in his sleep.
For the first time in so many years, he slept peacefully.
Zhang Chengfeng was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Cao Jinxing slowly finished his exercise: "Okay, the anger has subsided, and now I just need to rest."
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Chengfeng knelt on his knees and said, "Sir, you saved my father. The Zhang family will be grateful to you! If you need me in the future, Zhang Chengfeng will never refuse!"
After saying this, he bowed down.
"No, just stop yelling at my cat."
Cao Jinxing helped him up and said, "I don't want anyone else to know what happened today. Please keep it a secret, Master Zhang."
"learn."
Zhang Chengfeng was a smart man. He immediately turned to Guan Chong and said, "Say hello. Anyone who has seen the master tonight and dares to leak a single word will have his entire family sent to hell immediately!"
"yes!"
Guan Chong hurried out.
After explaining, Zhang Chengfeng smiled again, wiped away his tears, and said to Cao Jinxing: "Please wait a moment, my lord. I have asked the chef from Yangzhou to prepare wine and food. Please come and enjoy the meal."
Cao Jinxing didn't want to stay any longer, but on the one hand he was quite interested in the Demon Cult and wanted to learn more about it so as to prevent any problems before they happened. Besides, Fourteen had just been let go and was eating with relish.
"Sorry to bother you then."
"What are you talking about, sir?"
Zhang Chengfeng was very happy and extended his hand, "Please."
