Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 154 Zhao Dai

This spring is a little unusual for Lanxian Town.

A new family moved in to the bank of the Zhenbei Canal.

There are four people in total, but the old man has no children. He is just a poor young man with three beautiful wives.

According to rumors, the young man surnamed Zhao is a little stupid and dull... Although it is not a rare disease, it is extremely difficult to cure.

Bu Niang was deeply touched by this.

She often sat at the door of Blind Qiu's house and told him the story of Zhao Qing... after all, there was not much new in the town.

"Old Qiu, you just can't see!"

"Shuyue is such a good girl!"

"But she has to deal with such a stupid man... He neither works nor farms, and Shuyue has to take care of everything at home and outside."

"I was getting clothes tailored at Qin Lian's place the other day, and she said..."

"Zhao Qing would talk to himself by the canal every now and then!"

"He's still giggling from time to time. Although he's not constantly mumbling, I'm afraid he's a little out of his mind."

Every time Blind Qiu heard her talk about this, he would think silently and secretly wonder about Zhao Qing's illness.

He is a well-known geomancer in the surrounding area. Although he is blind... he has a set of rather clever divination tricks.

That day, he was squatting at the door with a cane in his hand.

His eyes were cloudy, but he could still look at Bu Niang more or less accurately.

"I've been thinking about this Zhao Qing these days..."

"He's not good at fire and wood, so he's probably just born stupid. The fact that he can marry three women... must have something to do with his family background."

"This child has no relatives to rely on, and now he's in such a state of poverty, I'm afraid those three beautiful wives will have to remarry."

what! ?

Bu Niang looked surprised: "That's not the case... Shuyue brought that sister surnamed Gu to our house a few days ago and even made two sets of clothes for Zhao Qing!"

"Hey!"

Blind Qiu sighed deeply.

He whispered, "In that case... maybe his family fell into poverty and he couldn't bear the blow that led to his mental confusion."

His cloudy eyes looked elsewhere.

The next moment, as if he had thought of something, his face showed a look of surprise and doubt: "Maybe he's been haunted by some evil spirit, a wandering ghost or something... You can ask his family to go to the Hebo Temple on the 15th of every month to burn a stick of incense to drive away the evil spirit."

……

In the quiet room of the lonely courtyard in the north of the town.

Zhao Qing took out two books and placed them on the table.

A Dream of Autumn River for Seventy Years

My Days as a Constable in Yunshan County

He muttered to himself, "Which one should I read?"

Si He:......

"Meng Ru Qiu He, look at this."

Zhao Qing had no choice but to pick up the book and began to read the story silently.

He really couldn't stand Cheng Huang, she always appeared out of the blue...

Normally it was fine, but when she was practicing dual cultivation with me, she would occasionally instruct me on postures...which was not so good.

So after returning from Shangchu Town.

Zhao Qing made an agreement with Si He.

Si He can watch when I am practicing dual cultivation, and there is no way to stop it.

But you can ask her to stop sending out her thoughts...

In exchange, Zhao Qing had to read two books to her every month... strange stories, county chronicles, or various mundane skills.

As long as it is not related to spiritual practice, Si He reads it with great interest.

After all, there might have been mortals staying on Shouyun Mountain two hundred years ago, but now it is full of cultivators.

It took Zhao Qingcai half a day to finish reading the booklet in his hand.

Feeling the slight fluctuations of Cheng Huang Yinhua in his mind, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Why……

Always feel like you have a digital pet?

The white-haired girl's eyes flashed, and she retorted, "Who is whose pet...don't you know it yourself?"

Zhao Qing: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

After simply calming Si He's mind, he went to the courtyard to practice his magic.

[Kanzi·Xuancai Yinyang: Comprehensive Understanding·Perfection (20/1000)]

I have been learning this dual cultivation technique for more than a year.

With his tireless efforts, his proficiency had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. If he continued to assist Shuyue in her cultivation, the effect would be even more powerful than before, and the transmission of spiritual energy and essence would be even smoother... even reaching the depths of her soul.

But in the recent period of dual cultivation, he did not use this secret technique again.

After all, he is now in the stage of polishing his foundation of Taoism, and it is not suitable for him to pass on spiritual energy to Shuyue and Qinghuan, otherwise it will more or less affect the nourishment and condensation of his foundation of Taoism.

He silently looked within himself.

The spiritual energy that fills the Dantian has transformed into an exquisite and mysterious base, with five different rays of light inside, intertwined with each other but separated from each other, quietly dormant in the foundation.

Those are his five spiritual roots.

Zhao Qing tried to abandon his Dantian and directly mobilize purer spiritual power from his Taoist foundation. All his meridians could feel the deep and condensed power.

This is the spiritual power that only foundation-building cultivators can use.

But Zhao Qing only tried for a moment before sending his spiritual power back into his Dao base...

The condensation of the Dao foundation has just begun, and it will be complete after a thousand days. By then, by directly cutting off the spiritual energy nourishment of the Dantian, one can rely on the Dao foundation... and enter the realm of foundation building.

I don’t know to what extent this inch of Taoist foundation can be condensed and nurtured by then.

During these three years, in addition to cultivating his Taoist foundation, he also had to practice the "Liuyun Stick Technique" and various defensive magic techniques bought by his aunt.

The attack power can be lower, after all, you still have three axes to use, but the defense ability is related to your own safety, so it must be maximized.

In the evening, Wang Shuyue returned home with a smile on her face and light steps.

Her bun was slightly tied up, her sleeves were rolled up high, and clear water dripped from her mutton-fat arms from time to time.

The lovely wife hung the washed clothes in the basin on a wooden pole to dry. Her tight waist was exposed when she bent over, and the silver jewelry on her ears jingled.

At the same time, she casually said, "Husband, I just went to Uncle Huang's yard. Guess what the children in town call you?"

Zhao Qing shook his head and chuckled: "What did you call me? Aren't you a fool?"

The Uncle Huang that Shuyue mentioned was Huang Xuejiu, the failed scholar in the town who opened a small school at home to teach several children to read and write.

Wang Shuyue covered her mouth with a faint laugh, and slid her arm around her husband, saying crisply, "A kid called you Zhao Dai, and Uncle Huang scolded him severely."

Zhao...da?

Instead of being angry, Zhao Qing found it quite amusing.

After all, there's no need to get angry with ordinary kids, right?

Besides, I have been acting very strangely in the past two months.

At least in the eyes of other villagers...that's the case.

No cooking, no working, no fetching water, no chopping firewood, no plowing... Occasionally just strolling by the canal.

All the affairs of the family were left to Shuyue. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was a destitute man who had suffered a great blow and was unconscious... but he had a good wife.

He raised his hand and ruffled his wife's hair: "Qinghuan is still refining the elixir. Let her and my aunt cook later. I will accompany you to walk around the town."

Shuyue's eyes turned: "Husband, are you trying to clear your name?"

Zhao Qing: ...

"Not really, I'm just going out for a walk with you."

"Then my husband, wait for me to change into a dress!"
