Chapter 31 The Entrustment
Chapter 31: What Is Entrusted
Xu Changqing never went to Taohua Mountain in the next few days, and Sean was tortured by Xu Changqing on Taohua Mountain. Despite this, Sean was extremely grateful to Xu Changqing because Xu Changqing opened a door full of mysterious power for him, and he could clearly feel every change in himself.
Like Chen Zhenshan, Xu Changqing not only taught Shawn some Taoist techniques, but also taught him some punches. Although these punches and feet are just ordinary iron-line fists and eighteen-way fists, it is extremely cherished for Shawn, a Westerner. Although Shawn's qualifications are not as good as Xu Changqing's own innate Taoist bones, it is much better than ordinary people. He has mastered the method of Yang Fire Tactics in just one day and can beat the iron-line fists as if it is decent. If he uses the true essence of the golden elixir passed to him by Xu Changqing, he is also a second-rate master. In addition, perhaps he has the talent of painting, and has learned to draw four talismans, such as the spirit gathering talisman, the divine talisman, the invisible talisman and the small thunder talisman in just one day.
Sean used this two-day method to prick the dragon beard needle once in Chenwu and Xu Zi, and received Xu Changqing's transmission. He had to try his best to force the dragon beard needle out. However, as the number of times increased, the time for the force was reduced. The last needle was forced out in less than ten minutes. Xu Changqing used this domineering method to complete the 100-day foundation building of the Human Yuan Dan method within three days. Sean can also operate the Zhoutian himself and improve his cultivation. At this moment, with Sean's skills, he draws at most ten small thunder talismans. Although this thunder talisman is very different from the power of the Five Thunder talismans, it seems inexplicably excited for beginners like Sean. When he saw his talisman paper burning, it attracted a ray of thunder and lightning to hit the ground, he danced like a child.
Xu Changqing spent three days to teach Shawn. At the same time, he also cooperated with the Paper Man Zhang to play around with the Qing army outside the Chen family Chong. Xu Changqing's puppet technique was obtained from paper man Zhang, and the blue one was better than blue. He and Paper Man Zhang were in Taohua Mountain Yizhuang and the other were paper shops in the mountain city, controlling more than a dozen puppet paper men who controlled more than a dozen Sun Huang and two men. He rode in the carriage of the carriage and led the officers and soldiers to search everywhere and run away. In just three days, Zhang Renjun's thought perfect net had been dragged down by two people and thirty carriages. The Shaoguan general who belonged to the Chen family took the opportunity to use the excuse of disturbing the government and the army to regain the defense of the important roads in various places in Chen family.
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Huang, today I don't know if there is still a day to meet. Please take care of yourself!" Xu Changqing personally sent Sun Huang and the other two onto the carriage respectively.
"Mr. Xu, take care of yourself, there will be a date later!" Sun Huang and the others stood in the carriage and clasped their fists at Xu Changqing.
In the past three days, Sun and Huang and the others had discussed their ways of doing things in the future. Mr. Sun decided to take a boat from Hong Kong and go abroad to continue to look for enlightened patriots who studied abroad to attract foreign funds to support the Chinese revolution. Mr. Huang stayed in China. He was preparing to go to Qinzhou to contact the revolutionary heroes there to organize another uprising. Xu Changqing was not surprised at all about the path he chose. This was exactly the path he wanted to choose between the two. Before the two left, he handed over some of the talismans, life amenities and other talismans he had drawn to them, and kept them for saving their lives in times of difficulty. This was also a little help to the Chinese revolutionary cause.
After Sun and Huang left, the charity village seemed much empty and returned to the quietness that Xu Changqing was used to. In the past few days, except for talking about things related to the Chinese Revolution that night, the three of them only talked about the other days, not the state affairs. Sun and Huang seemed to have regarded this place as a place for cultivation, and temporarily forgot about the disputes of mundane affairs. In the past three days, what they said most were some interesting things and interesting stories they encountered abroad, and at the same time they also mentioned a little bit of foreign customs and customs.
Xu Changqing learned all the English, French and Spanish languages he knew were from his master. Sometimes he would accompany Chen Deshang to meet some foreigners, and he was impeccable in terms of language. However, because he did not understand some of the customs of foreigners, he would always make a little joke at the most critical moment, which made him extremely embarrassed. Later, he simply stopped accompanying Chen Deshang to meet foreigners. These days, he heard a lot of foreign customs from Sun and Huang, which benefited Xu Changqing a lot. At least he understood the way and use of knife and fork in Western food, and would not make jokes like taking the hand washing water before the meal as mouthwash.
Xu Changqing was sitting on the stone bench in the yard, recalling the scene of chatting with Sun and Huang these days. Thinking that he had fallen into the disaster of heaven and earth without realizing it, he couldn't help but sigh at the terribleness of fate. He obviously wanted to escape but could not escape.
At this time, Sean, dressed in formal clothes, walked in from outside the charity village, walked to Xu Changqing, and said respectfully: "Master, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
"No need to be so restrained. We should be a good friend of our peers in our daily lives!" Xu Changqing smiled, pointed to the stool beside him and asked him to sit down, and said, "Are you going to leave?"
"Yes, Master!" Although Xu Changqing said that his fellow disciples were friends, Sean still strictly followed the ancient Chinese etiquette and respected Xu Changqing, saying: "I was already sent by a letter from the Guangzhou General Council a few days ago, urging me to go to Shanghai to finish the business immediately and return to the UK. It seemed that the Qing court put pressure on the Consul General."
"Okay! The current situation in China is too chaotic. You, a foreigner, shouldn't be too involved." Xu Changqing nodded and continued, "Do you remember, did I tell you a few days ago that I asked you to do something?"
Sean nodded and said, "Remember, when I asked something, my master said he should know."
Xu Changqing took out two very fine and perfect Western oil paintings from the sleeve and handed them to Sean. Sean took them and saw that one of them was a blonde and blue-eyed Westerner with wounds on his face standing in an extremely simple traditional Chinese building. The expressions of the people in the painting were vividly painted, and the other was a blue jade with ornamental stone, and the textures on the surface of the jade were carefully depicted.
Sean himself likes painting and has collected some famous painters. He could only describe these two paintings as awesome, and quickly looked up and asked: "Master, who painted these two oil paintings? This is definitely a masterpiece."
"I painted the painting, but I don't want you to pay attention to the painting itself, but to pay attention to the things inside the painting." Xu Changqing was also slightly proud of his painting chair to be praised by a Western connoisseur, and then returned to his serious expression and said, "I know you know some soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who invaded our country back then..."
"Master, I know it because I know it, but the relationship is just average. And I strongly oppose the use of force to treat Eastern things from the beginning to the end, so I should have a peaceful dialogue." Hearing Xu Changqing's painting, Sean immediately said to himself.
"I don't care whether you know each other or have a normal relationship. These are not the key points. Although the Eight-Nation Alliance insults me in China, it is more of our own reasons. If we don't kill each other, how can we give others a chance?" Xu Changqing sighed and returned to the topic and said: "What I want you to do this time is to help me find the person or the jade on it after returning to Europe. No matter what you find, I will assume that you have done the work for me."
Sean looked at the painting post carefully again and said, "Master, is the person you are looking for also a soldier of the Eight-Nation Alliance?"
Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Yes, he was the first soldier to enter the Summer Palace back then. That piece of jade was something he snatched from the Summer Palace, and this piece of jade is very important to me."
"Are the first batch? It should be easier to find some." Sean carefully put the painter away and said, "I will definitely find this person or this piece of jade as soon as possible. I will write to Chen Weng and ask him to notify you."
Xu Changqing shook his head, took out a yellow talisman, handed it to Sean, and said, "Don't let others know about this matter. After you find that person, burn this yellow talisman. I will go to find you at that time."
"Yes, Master!" Sean took the yellow talisman and carefully placed it in close proximity.
"Although I have only taught you the three-day Taoist method, your Human Yuan Dan method has achieved some achievements, and some ordinary Taoist methods can also be learned." As Xu Changqing said that, he took out a book with undried ink and a peach wood sword from the universe in his sleeve and handed it to Sean, saying, "This book is written by me in the past two days. It contains a complete set of human Yuan Dan method and some difficulties that you will encounter during the cultivation process. There are also some small magic tricks from Taoism that you can continue to study after returning to China. This peach wood sword is made of a hundred-year peach wood heart. It has the effect of suppressing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. When you use Taoism, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Master." Sean was very moved to take the book and the Taomu sword, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Changqing three times.
"Okay! Don't be like this mother-in-law." Xu Changqing received his three-headed gift, helped him up, and said, "The journey back to China is long, be careful."
After saying that, Xu Changqing personally sent him to the foot of Taohua Mountain and delivered him to the carriage that had been waiting there.
After returning to the charity village, I don’t know when the paper man had already sat in the yard, and there was also a white-haired old man with a withered and thin face.
After seeing them, Xu Changqing quickly stepped forward, ignored the paper man, but bowed to the old man and said, "It is Changqing's sin to let Mr. Xiong wait here for a long time. I hope Mr. Xiong forgives his sins!"
"When did you like this set of false gifts too?" The old man smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "That was your registered disciple just now! Well, a very good Western boy, much better than the boy Zhenshan!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiong praised!" Xu Changqing said with a little smugness, "I wonder if Mr. Xiong has arranged the matters in the mountain city?"
"Oh!" the old man sighed and said, "I have to thank you for sending me a letter. Otherwise, Chen Fan might have caused some trouble and destroyed the entire Chen family. The group gathered now has disbanded and returned home except for some main combat powers. Although the hearts of the people in the city have calmed down, the impact has not subsided. Many businessmen are willing to go to Shaoguan and not here. It is caused by the instigation of the troublemaker. I have sent someone to take him to Shanghai and let him punish him severely so that he will continue to make trouble here."
This old man is one of the few two people Xu Changqing could not deal with in the Chen family. He was Chen Deshang's clan's uncle, named Chen Xiong. He should have inherited the Chen family's estate, but he was obsessed with Taoism and was unwilling to inherit the position of the head of the family, so he gave it to Chen Deshang's father. Later, after the introduction of the previous generation of the Yizhuang owner, he became a disciple of the Iron-Free Taoist Master of Hengshan Louguan Dao, learned the authentic Taoist master, and had extremely profound cultivation. Moreover, his unique skills in the palm of his hand had few opponents in the southern side practice world.
Although the old man has a high seniority in the Chen family, he rarely comes out to preside over the Chen family's housework. He will only show off his feelings at all the memorial service. If Chen Fan hadn't made a big fuss this time, Xu Changqing would not have found the old man and presided over the overall situation of the Chen family.
Xu Changqing just smiled at the old man's curse at Chen Fan, and said nothing. He turned to look at the paper man Zhang and smiled and said, "Old Man Zhang, the favor you owe me has been paid back, why haven't you left yet?"
"It's not your turn to say whether I'm leaving or not! Now that Mr. Xiong is in charge, the Chen family can be more or less quiet. Why should I work so hard to find another place to settle down?" Zhang, a paper man, glared at Xu Changqing with resentment. This time he lost a lot. The materials used by dozens of puppets cost him a lot of money. Because it was a favor from Xu Changqing, it was impossible to ask the Chen family for it, so he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent.
"We should pay for this money from the Chen family!" The old man also knew the thoughts of Zhu Ren Zhang, and smiled, raised his hand to stop Zhu Ren Zhang's refusal, turned to Xu Changqing and said, "I have heard from Zhang Bo about your situation. Closing the mountain to recuperate is indeed the best choice, but how long are you going to block the mountain?"
"About a year! It may be extended a little longer." Xu Changqing answered inconsistency, then took out a few envelopes from his arms and handed them to the old man, saying: "These envelopes contain some things I want to explain. Please give it to Chen Weng. In addition, if Xuangang Tianmo really sends someone to cause trouble, Xiong can notify the main hall of the Lower Nine-Rule Bianmen Alliance in Suzhou that they are mortal enemies of Xuangang Tianmo and will definitely help."
"I have heard of this one. If necessary, I will go find them." The old man took out a bottle of pills from his arms and put them on the stone table and said: "This bottle of pills is the Qi-raising pill I have carefully refined over the years. Although it is not a top-quality pill, it is still helpful to your current situation."
