Chapter 10 Five Years Later

Hearing Hua Xinzi's explanation, Zhao Mu was excited.

It seems that this "Six Paths of Tianmen" is indeed a practice method that can be practiced, so that's good.

He thought for a while and asked: "Since this practice method was created by the immortal cultivator for his apprentice, how do you have it?"

"Not only do I have it, in fact, all the major sects in the world today, as well as the powerful families in the court, have included "Six Paths of Tianmen."

"Because when the immortal cultivator was still in the Great Jin Dynasty, many people came to him to become his disciples, and he did not directly refuse, but passed down "Six Paths of Tianmen."

"He set a rule that as long as someone can open the fourth door, they can become his disciples, but unfortunately no one succeeded until he left."

"However, "Six Paths of Tianmen" It has been collected by many people and has been passed down to this day. It has become a footrest in the library of many major sects and families. "

Hua Xinzi said here, shook his head and said: "It seems that you are very interested in "Tianmen Six Paths", but listen to my advice, don't be stupid to practice it, it is impossible to practice this method successfully."

"Well, I understand, I am just interested in its origin."

Zhao Mu said casually: "Okay, I am very satisfied with today's transaction. I will give you two more poems, two lyrics and a piano score. How about it?"

"Thank you, Lord Duzhi!"

Hua Xinzi was very excited.

"You're welcome, it's just a transaction."

Zhao Mu smiled, left the poems and piano scores and left.

When he returned to the warehouse, he couldn't wait to start studying "Tianmen Six Paths".

This is a special method that is different from ordinary martial arts.

The way of practicing it is naturally different from the conventional.

So he has to study it thoroughly before he can really start practicing.

Time passed day by day and year by year.

Five years later, Zhao Mu was thirty years old.

And his research and practice of "The Six Paths of Heaven" was not in vain.

After five years, he finally opened the first door of the Six Paths of Heaven, and his cultivation level also steadily entered the second-rate of martial arts.

More importantly, Zhao Mu could clearly feel the change of "The Six Paths of Heaven" on his cultivation qualifications.

If he had the current cultivation qualifications when he practiced martial arts with Hua Xinzi, it would definitely not take two years to break through the third-rate of martial arts.

In addition to cultivation, Zhao Mu has also been carefully studying "The King of Medicine" in the past five years.

Although his medical skills are not as good as those of the imperial doctors in the palace, they are not much worse than some so-called famous doctors in the folk.

In the past few years, he occasionally dressed up as a doctor and went to the countryside to treat the people, and basically he could cure the disease.

In addition to medical skills, what interested him most in "The King of Medicine" were the recipes of elixirs that improved qualifications and cultivation.

So next, he planned to collect more medicinal materials.

After Hua Xinzi's pills are used up, he will refine new pills to use, and try to speed up the improvement of his own cultivation.

...

That day.

Zhao Mu was practicing in the house, and an unexpected visitor suddenly arrived.

"Brother Liang, why are you here?"

Zhao Mu came out to greet him.

The visitor was his boss, Liang Xingnan, the judge of the Jiaofang Division.

No, Liang Xingnan has long been promoted to the position of the chief judge.

The highest official of the Jiaofang Division is the Jiaofang Envoy of the fifth rank, and below him are the Jiaofang Deputy Envoy of the fifth rank, the chief judge of the sixth rank, as well as the judge, the upper chief, the lower chief, the Taiyue Ling, etc.

Among them, the Jiaofang Envoy and the Jiaofang Deputy Envoy are nominal titles, usually held by eunuchs in the palace.

However, the eunuchs in the palace have other more important titles, and generally rarely care about the affairs of the Jiaofang Division.

So in most cases, Liang Xingnan, the chief judge, is the most powerful person in the Jiaofang Division.

Maybe it was because Zhao Mu was too noncompetitive and posed no threat to him.

Although there were many people who flattered the Jiaofangsi, Liang Xingnan liked to come to Zhao Mu to drink and chat from time to time in the past two years.

For Zhao Mu, Liang Xingnan was a good source of intelligence.

When chatting, he could often hear some useful information from the other party.

I believe that as long as there is no conflict of interest, this kind of relationship between the two of them, where both get what they need, should last for a long time.

"Hahaha, I came to see you, brother. We haven't had a drink together for half a month."

"Drink?"

Zhao Mu snorted: "Speaking of this, Brother Liang, when will you pay me back the half pot of Chunjiang Niang you owe me?"

Liang Xingnan's expression froze, and he glared fiercely: "Everyone in the Jiaofangsi tried every means to flatter me, but you, a guy, actually remembered the half pot of Chunjiang Niang for a year. Be careful that I will punish you to guard the gate of the Jiaofangsi."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is no difference between guarding the warehouse and guarding the gate. As long as you return my wine, it's fine."

Zhao Mu didn't care.

Liang Xingnan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "You are so carefree. I don't understand why you never think about getting promoted or getting rich at such a young age?"

He shook his head: "Okay, I came here today to talk to you about something important. Did you hear that Liang Xiaozhong's case has been sentenced?"

Zhao Mu was surprised.

Judged?

So soon?

Last time, Liang Xiaozhong and Wang Daoquan planned to embezzle disaster relief funds.

He originally thought that the Xuanjing Division would take action against the two soon, but he didn't expect to wait for five years.

Later, he learned that it was the left prime minister Wang Zongshi who intervened.

The big boss suppressed the corruption of disaster relief funds as soon as he made a move.

Liang Xiaozhong and Wang Daoquan were able to live peacefully for the past five years.

If nothing unexpected happened, Liang Xiaozhong should have been able to continue to jump around for a while.

But unexpectedly, he was cheated by his wife and daughter.

Liang Xiaozhong broke off the engagement by any means, in fact, his purpose was to let his daughter Liang Min marry Feng Jie, the son of the Minister of Rites.

After all, having the Minister of Rites as a relative would bring countless benefits to his future official career.

But unexpectedly, Liang Min was an uneasy person.

After marrying Feng Jie, she had been secretly hooking up with men outside, but she was careful and never found out.

But if you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet.

Three months ago, Liang Min took her maid to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense, but she was hanging out with a young scholar in the Zen room.

Just when the passion was raging, Feng Jie suddenly led his men into the Zen room and beat the scholar to death.

If it weren't for Liang Xiaozhong, Feng Jie, who was green-headed, would have beaten Liang Min to death at that time.

The daughter was not faithful to her husband!

The daughter-in-law hooked up with a stranger!

This matter was a family scandal that both the Liang and Feng families were absolutely unwilling to disclose.

So although they wanted to kill each other, the Minister of Rites still joined forces with Liang Xiaozhong to suppress the matter, unwilling to let the scandal spread.

Afterwards, Feng Jie divorced his wife in a low-key manner, and Liang Min was taken home by Liang Xiaozhong.

Zhao Mu was secretly glad at the time that he was lucky that his previous life did not marry Liang Min, otherwise the green grass on his head would probably have become grassland.
