Chapter 20 A gluttonous feast

Gu Wen was alone in the depths of the mansion, holding a long stick used for guarding the courtyard and swinging it around. Using the stick instead of a spear was like a dragon coiled around his body, like an arm driving him. In just one month, he was like a master who had been practicing spears for ten years.

The Xuanming Spear is divided into three levels: Ming Jin, Nei Jin, and Xuan Jin.

The first two are the same as ordinary martial arts. Ming Jin is the power emitted by the muscles, bones, skin and flesh of the whole body, and Nei Jin is the technique of concentrating the power on one point. Xuan Jin has touched upon the practice, and needs to cooperate with the true energy to emit a kind of force that is concurrently released through weapons.

'Qi' is also called Gang.

He is still in the first stage, Ming Jin.

Yuqing Daoji was strengthening his body every moment, and Ming Jin came naturally without even having to practice. But Internal Jin required hard training, exploration, and familiarity.

Gu Wen has now touched the threshold of internal energy, and he can produce internal energy every ten times he dances with a gun. According to those martial arts masters, he is now estimated to be at the level of a famous master, and his internal energy can be called a master.

He originally wanted to practice slowly and save the Heavenly Essence for Daoji. After all, only Daoji can provide a more substantial improvement, and it is also the most difficult to practice.

But now the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the war is getting closer and closer.

In the previous life, the Anshi Rebellion took less than a year from the time An Lushan troops were raised to the fall of Chang'an, and Daqian was not the Tang Dynasty, and it was more fragile than the Tang Dynasty.

The demise of a last dynasty often only takes a moment, and all the contradictions and root causes accumulated before will be swept away like a flood. From roadside vendors being beaten and scolded by officials, to excessive taxes and even family destruction, just like the ten years before and after the generals

The taxes are completely average.

People all over the world will remember the sufferings of the past ten years, and will be even more afraid of the sufferings in the future. Now there is only the straw that breaks the camel's back.

At first, Gu Wen thought that extraordinary power might be able to change things, but from what he had seen and heard recently and his contact with the fairy Yu Hua, extraordinary power was extremely limited in Daqian. It was not enough to withstand the wheel of history, and Daqian's

Death is inevitable.

It is never the princes and generals in the history books who decide the demise of a dynasty, but the countless common people who will never appear in the history books.

Gu Wen didn't want to really drown in the torrent of this era when that time comes.

The destiny is shaken.

[Second Year of Heavenly Essence]

This was saved in the past month. I don’t know if Taifu Temple discovered a reselling problem internally, or if I bought too much, the supply of medicinal fruits became less and less.

The Heavenly Essence is like fire, and the Xuanming Spear is different from the other two immortal techniques. It turns into pure Qi in an instant, sinks into the Dantian, and travels throughout the body with the circulating Qi.

An illusory figure appeared, wielding a gun across the battlefield, entering and exiting seven times, but no one had the right move.

He is like me, and I am like him. In a trance, it feels like I am walking across the battlefield. There is no need to experience fighting, and there is already a fierce murderous aura in every move.

The inner strength of the Xuanming Spear is accomplished!

Xuan Ming Spear Xuan Jin, done!

The true energy was condensed into one shot and the sonic boom continued, and the curtains and candlelight danced endlessly.

Gu Wen originally thought it was over, and was about to exhale and adjust his breath, but then an even more intense Qi burst out from his Dantian, and the Xuanming Spear Technique that should have been completely refined by the Heavenly Essence glowed with a golden light.

It took Tianmui eight years to understand the Yuqing Heart Technique, and it took Tianmui two years to understand the Yuqing Sword Technique, but it has obviously surpassed the Xuanming Spear.

The shadow of the Xuan Ming Spear stood in front of him, Gu Wen inexplicably felt a hint of arrogance as he had surpassed the original Xuan Ming Spear.

A shot was fired, Xuan Ming's gun broke through, and the door was opened with a fierce blast. Jiang Fugui behind the door seemed to have been pushed, and his foot fell into the air.

He did not see a large gun glowing with blood through the door, and the ink-like Qi covered the long stick and turned into the gun head.

As soon as Gu Wen exhaled, all the extraordinary things converged, and the spear head disappeared and turned into a stick.

Perhaps he has figured out another way to use the Heavenly Essence. When he reaches the ultimate level of understanding, he will naturally become better than his master, pushing the original method to a higher level.

The fourth level of the Xuanming Spear is attached to the Xuan Gang!

【The Heavenly Essence is Exhausted】

Gu Wen has never been in actual combat, but the insights given by his fate should be clearer than my own actual combat. The function of Xuanming Waigang is to provide hardness and "vibration force". The former is easy to understand, while the latter is that Xuanming Waigang maintains a constant consistency at all times.

This kind of vibration will affect all objects in contact with the outer gang.

In the collision of cold weapons, the vibration is very likely to cause the weapon to fall off, and it has the ability to ignore defense when facing armor.

However, Gu Wen prefers hardness, which means that he can fight with any stick he picks up.

He rested his right hand on the chair, and the internal energy was consumed violently, and the dark red Wai Gang adhered to the chair. The consumption was more than that of a pole weapon, and the vibration disappeared, and the Wai Gang became extremely chaotic.

"If it is too different from a gun, the Daxuanming Waigang will be ineffective."

------------------

Jiang Fugui got up from the ground and saw Gu Wen walking out of the house. He looked surprised when he saw the long stick in his hand.

"Sir, are you practicing martial arts? I'm still thinking about why you suddenly ran to this side courtyard. There are no guards around. What should I do if something happens? If you really can't trust those royal guards, I'll give it to you.

You can find a few watermen, and every household of them depends on you for food, so you must be reliable."

"Hey, Master, how did you train this tendon meat? It's only been a few days."

The short Jiang Fugui followed Gu Wen and chattered. Gu Wen came to the water tank in the courtyard, took off his shirt and wiped the sweat. When the cold water was splashed on his skin, wisps of heat came out.

Jiang Fugui on the side said again: "Be careful of the cold. If you want to take a bath, I can ask my servants to boil water."

"How is the medicine fruit?"

"Sir, we have the goods, but the price has gone up."

"How many?"

"Forty-two pieces."

Gu Wen paused for a moment and sneered: "These tooth market businessmen really think of themselves as tigers. Anyone dares to come up and take a bite. If he doesn't want to do it, then retire and take a rest."

To put it bluntly, Old One-Arm is just a middleman. His biggest role is to take the blame. If something goes wrong, the buyer cannot be traced. Those rats in the black market are like this. Otherwise, why would they be allowed to do such things as profit from buying and selling people?

Because it is not clean, the iron fist may come down at any time.

At first, he didn't want to cause trouble, and he could afford eighteen taels a piece. It was contraband after all, so it was normal to have some premium. But now he just keeps raising the price, and he is not a fool.

Yashi is not only Lao Duzhi, but he is the largest slave trader.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and pursed his lips, showing a thoughtful look.

"Master, do you want to go to the government to deal with him?"

Jiang Fugui knew that something was going to happen to Old One-Armed Man. His father Wen didn't hold back his emotions and anger, and he didn't know how to use a knife when he was angry.

In Mr. Wen's words: We are businessmen, not bandits. Anyone who does things according to the rules will naturally teach them a lesson if they don't tell us the rules.

He always kept this sentence in mind, not because of business ethics, but because Jiang Fugui had seen Gu Wen kill people more than once without using the knife.

"No, government officials will not enter the dental market."

Gu Wen just thought for a few breaths and ordered: "Tomorrow, go and say hello to the major brothels. There are a lot of people selling their bodies recently, and there is no shortage of good girls. Let's unite to lower the prices in the dental market, and we will collect some money from them.

fee."

He doesn't touch food because he is immoral.

He went to a brothel because it was never the brothel that made people sell their bodies. It was just the best place to sell their bodies. There were brothels and dens below.

Those who can enter a brothel are already at the end of their rope, and their lives will be better than those of most people in the future.

The way the world is, a good person is worse than a prostitute.

Gu Wen only managed to get the highest price in human trafficking, but it was enough to crush the dental market half to death.

Hiss! Take the fire out of the cauldron.

Jiang Fugui took a breath, Bianjing's brothels were more than just Longqiao, but only Longqiao could produce oirans.

The tooth market can sell it to a brothel, but the brothel can't offer one-third of the price of the Longqiao brothel. If all the brothels lower their prices, your tooth market will lose more than a thousand taels of silver, and maybe they can make a small profit.

Moreover, this low price is reasonable. There are indeed many people selling their bodies recently. It doesn't matter whether there are many good girls or not.

This is not entirely aimed at the tooth market. Gu Wen, other businessmen and even wealthy families all like to join forces to lower prices. It's just that Gu Wen never touches anything related to food and people, and there are no taboos on anything else.

Have a conscience, but only a little.

——————————————

The next day, Jiangyue Tower, Tianzihao Room.

Merchants gathered and there were countless beauties. Gu Wen's plain clothes stood out among the merchants wearing gold and silver, but no one dared to criticize him at all.

Today he hosted a banquet for the shopkeepers of various brothels. When there is a famine, the biggest beneficiaries are the grain merchants, followed by the dental market, including the brothels. A normal court will control the price of grain, no matter how high it is, it will not be too high.

But now that the Holy King is here, the emperor's eunuchs are making a lot of money.

Gu Wen raised his wine glass, and all the merchants raised their glasses. Under the red candles and wine, in the midst of drunkenness and wealth, it suddenly seemed like a feast of predators.

What was brought to the table was the Yashi businessmen who were extremely vicious in the eyes of the people, the evil forces who roamed the streets and corners wielding swords and guns.

Their ferocity makes them so weak and cute in front of the Longqiao merchants.

Fengyuelou has a sweet-scented osmanthus shark's fin dish, which is delicious and top-notch.
