Chapter 20 Planning Laziness
Cao Jinxing entered the secret library again. He was familiar with everything. He directly picked up the catalog of the sixth-grade palm technique and read it. He still read ten lines at a glance.
With such a reading speed, there is no one else in the entire Zhenfu Division.
The old Taoist sighed, opened his eyes and saw that it was really him. He couldn't help but smile: "What merit has he accomplished again?"
"We captured a few remnants of the Hehuan Sect." Cao Jinxing answered casually, his hands moving non-stop.
“Good catch!”
The old Taoist priest was filled with righteous indignation: "Those who practice Cai Bu should all die! 'One's own essence and blood can interbreed with each other, and it is wonderful to be a couple in the body'. Double cultivation originally refers to the intercourse of sex and life, and it is the great way of self-cultivation and solitary practice! These crooked and evil people have forced us to engage in vulgar sexual techniques!"
"indeed……"
Cao Jinxing just agreed with a few words casually. He didn't know much about this aspect and was too lazy to learn about it.
As he was flipping through the pages, he suddenly saw three very familiar words, and his expression suddenly became strange: "Senior, what's going on here..."
The old Taoist priest came closer and took a look: "The Paiyun Palm is a unique skill of the Sanjue Elder during the Northern Song Dynasty."
He had an amazing memory and immediately spoke eloquently, "It is said that he has three unique Currently, he only has a full set of palm techniques and half of the fist techniques. The Liaodong Wushuang Sect's "Wushuang Fist Sutra" is a unique skill that was developed based on the half set of "Sky Frost Fist". Not bad, it suits you very well."
Cao Jinxing was shocked: "..."
This is lazy planning!
This must be due to lazy planning!
It's just a copy!
How shameful!
"That's what I want."
…
After getting the secret book and "reading" it for an hour, Cao Jinxing returned the book to the inner hall, where Liu Zhenyuan was already waiting.
——He knew how terrifying Cao Jinxing’s comprehension was, and he also knew the purpose of his deliberate delay for an hour, so he didn’t say much and went straight to the point.
"Do you know what the current emperor is most concerned about?" Liu Zhenyuan said.
Cao Jinxing was puzzled, thought about it, and gave a standard answer: "It should be the northwest border troubles, the southeast Japanese pirates, and some local civil unrest."
"I'll give you a chance to answer again."
“…”
Looking at Liu Zhenyuan's half-smiley face, which was filled with the words "Who are you trying to fool?", Cao Jinxing could only add a well-known sentence: "There is also the possibility of becoming an immortal and achieving immortality."
"good."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "There are great generals stationed at the border, and Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang are in charge of the southeast. As for the local civil unrest, it is just a minor problem and is not worth worrying about. The only thing your majesty is worried about is longevity."
Cao Jinxing somewhat understood why he said, "As long as it's done, no one will have anything to say."
It seems that this matter is related to Jiajing.
Once the job is done, he will be happy and promotion and salary increase will be a sure thing. Even if others are suspicious and dissatisfied, they have to keep it to themselves!
This is just the first layer.
There is a second layer of meaning.
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists and said sincerely, "Thank you, sir."
Liu Zhenyuan was very pleased.
It's easier to talk to smart people .
He did this to help Cao Jinxing find a backer - as long as Cao Jinxing succeeded and left a name in Jiajing's eyes, no one would dare to touch him easily, no matter how unsociable or how much he attracted envy.
"Don't thank me yet."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "This is not an easy matter to handle. You must think carefully about it."
"Need not."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. I also want to learn better martial arts and take better elixirs. If the opportunity comes, how can I not take it? Besides, it's not that easy to kill me."
I am not afraid of anything below the secluded path.
Above Tongyou...if you can't beat me, can't I run away?
"very good."
Liu Zhenyuan immediately pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "This mission is top secret. You are to leave immediately and rush to Luoyang Xuanwu Mountain. Taiyi Sect has secretly captured a thousand-year-old fire turtle and wants to present it to His Majesty. You are to bring it back."
"Millennium Fire Turtle?"
"That's right. The elixir in this beast's belly can cure all diseases and improve one's strength. If it is used with magical medicine to make elixirs, it can also make people rejuvenate—"
What?
Cao Jinxing looked up suddenly.
No wonder this mission is difficult. If it were leaked, so many people would scramble for it!
“No need to make a fuss.”
Liu Zhenyuan glanced at him and said, "You are still ignorant. You will understand in the future. There is no shortage of skills in this world that can make people stay young forever. It is easy to stay young, but it is difficult to stay alive. The rarity of the Fire Turtle is that it can prolong life."
Cao Jinxing thought so too.
I almost forgot that this is a world of high-level martial arts. A "Ming Yu Gong" can make Yao Yue Lian Xing eternally young. It is impossible that there is no martial arts of the same level in this world.
Moreover, it is not his turn to take things with such incredible effects.
"You don't have to underestimate yourself."
Liu Zhenyuan saw what he was thinking and sighed, "Being too high in realm is not always a good thing. There are countless eyes watching every move. If we go, it will only cause more trouble and attract some old monsters."
Too.
Cao Jinxing nodded: "I understand."
Liu Zhenyuan: "Go quickly and come back quickly!"
"yes."
Cao Jinxing left the inner hall and ordered someone to tell Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang to study hard and not to rush out of the secret library, as he had a mission and had to go on a long journey.
…
Two days later.
On the official road in Luoyang.
A Ferghana horse is galloping towards us!
The sound of horse hooves stepping on the street stones made a loud noise!
There was a man on the horse with an imposing appearance, wearing a black fluttering cloak and a bamboo hat on his head that concealed his figure. Under the black clothes was a Feiyu suit and an Embroidered Spring Sword.
“Finally, we’re here.”
Cao Jinxing sighed for the 300th time on this journey: "Riding a horse is so damn troublesome! I really miss the days of flying."
Hold the reins.
Cao Jinxing looked up and saw Xuanwu Mountain in the distance under the blue sky and white clouds.
Before coming, he went to the archives to look for relevant information. This Xuanwu Mountain is extraordinary, with two peaks, six caves and nine pools. The mountain is covered with lush forests and there are gurgling streams in the mountains. The two are intertwined and reflected, and the scenery is very charming.
This kind of place with beautiful mountains and rivers is most likely to breed rare treasures, so naturally it has become a treasure land that some sects compete for openly and secretly.
The reason why Taiyi Sect offered the Fire Turtle was that they hoped to rely on the imperial power and preserve the foundation of their sect - their situation was very bad!
There are two sects stationed in Xuanwu Mountain, Taiyi Sect on the East Peak and Wanshe Cave on the West Peak.
The former has a long history, with martial arts originating from the nobles of the Song Dynasty and superb swordsmanship; the latter is one of the Five Poisonous Creatures, has secret techniques for driving away and controlling snakes, and is good at using poison.
The two factions had been fighting for a long time. One faction looked down on the evil ways and was determined to drive them out, while the other wanted to expand the scope of snake breeding and raise more poisonous creatures. Gradually, the feud developed into a lifelong one.
In terms of martial arts alone, the Taiyi Sect has the upper hand, but the Wanshe Cave's poison is more powerful, and their method of controlling snakes is even more treacherous and unpredictable. If they were to fight to the death, it would be hard to say who would win.
Until recently, it seemed that the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave had some secret weapon, which scared the Taiyi Sect so much that they could no longer sit still.
Sect leader Pei Yangchun didn't even dare to enjoy the thousand-year-old fire turtle that was in his mouth, and wanted to obtain the protection of the imperial power under the name of presenting it to the emperor.
Cao Jinxing’s second purpose for coming here was to help them.
After all, if you accept something from someone, you have to show some expression. As for who is right and who is wrong... they are not ordinary people, and the Pacification Office is not responsible for judging cases. According to the rules of the underworld, whoever is stronger has the final say!
