"As the saying goes, the tortoise breathing technique, the key is to breathe slowly until the breath is so weak that it cannot be detected, just like a tortoise. If you lie there for a year or two, no one will find you. That's when you succeed."
"You just need to stare at your Uncle Turtle every day, observe its breathing, and breathe in and out along with it. After a while, you will be able to master it."
In this way, Chu Li would not have to stay in the sect for a long time.
Just take Master Turtle with you and practice wherever you go.
Gu Yuanming still understands and sympathizes with Chu Li.
Although Chu Li didn't know what the point of practicing this was, it sounded very convenient and would not interfere with her fun, so she humbly agreed:
"Thank you, Master!"
He stretched out his hands and picked up Uncle Turtle.
Glance sideways.
Uncle Turtle shrank his head, closed his eyes, his limbs were wrinkled and shrunken, his shell was a little cracked, and he looked quite old and frail.
"Disciple, practice well." Gu Yuanming patted her shoulder.
"Junior brother, what are your plans next?" Lu Yunchu asked.
Chu Li thought for a moment:
"I'm going to Gangnam."
Three days later.
Chu Li's body had almost recovered. She led a horse, held Master Turtle in her arms, and prepared to set off for Jiangnan to live the life she had always dreamed of.
"Master, you don't need to see me off, brothers. I will come back to visit you once I am settled."
Gu Yuanming was a man of the world, and he didn't have so many greasy sentimental things. He just waved his hand and said:
"You have just recovered, so remember to avoid arrogance, impatience, alcohol and sex, and exercise more. That is the best way."
"Master, don't worry. I will be diligent and frugal!"
Chu Li got on the horse.
"Remember to practice well and don't forget your original intention."
Chu Li rode away, "Master, rest assured. I will remember this."
"You have mastered the Turtle Breathing Technique. Remember to send your Uncle Turtle back!"
"……knew!"
Go down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the Eight Vajra were waiting, "Young Master Chu."
Chu Li held the reins and said, "Go!"
Now, she is finally free.
She can finally live a leisurely, casual, frugal, hard-working and honest life!
This time when she goes to Jiangnan, she will cultivate her character and start from scratch.
Two days later.
Jiangnan City is located in the south of Da Chu, adjacent to the three states of Mo and Huai. It is a livable place with a mild climate and four seasons like spring. It is also the birthplace of many poets, literati and Wu Nong songs.
In the water town of Jiangnan, a small river runs through the streets and flows in front of the arch bridges of the houses. Boats are floating on the river, vendors are selling things, and the soft voices of singing girls are lingering in the air.
"Withdraw money."
At Wei's Bank, Chu Li slapped a stub on the counter.
The shopkeeper took a look at the stub and was a little surprised.
Survivor: Chu Li.
Isn’t this the new emperor who died in the sea of fire?
Regardless of calling him the new emperor, the Ninth Prince was burned to death in Zhaolan Palace before he even ascended the throne. He was indeed the shortest-lived emperor in history.
"The Ninth Prince has passed away. This stub..."
Chu Li had already anticipated what the bank would say, and said:
"I am the Ninth Prince's kept gigolo. This is the property she gave me."
"Let's not talk about my status. Did the Ninth Prince deposit the gold bars in your bank? Just because she died, did these gold bars become your private property?"
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly:
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Their Wei Family Bank is the largest bank in Da Chu, and they have branches in other countries. For such a large business, reputation is the most important thing.
"May I ask how much you would like to take?"
"all."
Twenty-five small gold bars.
After checking the authenticity of the stub, the shopkeeper said, "Sir, we don't have that many gold bars right now. I'll get you seven first, and I'll gather the rest within five days and deliver them to you personally. Is that okay?"
"No need, I'll come pick it up myself in five days."
"yes."
The shopkeeper immediately took the key and went to the heavily guarded warehouse to get seven small gold bars.
Chu Li took it and left.
The shopkeeper immediately ordered the guards around him: "Follow him and see who this young man is."
Another guard whispered:
"The shopkeeper suspects that this stub is of unknown origin?"
"The Ninth Prince has passed away. According to the rules, the bank should return the deposit to his relatives, but this person holds the stub, so I have to withdraw the cash for him. What if this person is a thief and stole the Ninth Prince's property..."
Twenty-five small gold bars, this is not a small amount.
If it is not handled properly, the reputation of their bank will be damaged.
"Shopkeeper, 'he' just said that he is the concubine of the Ninth Prince. I heard rumors in the capital that the Ninth Prince is indeed a homosexual."
The shopkeeper groaned, and for safety's sake, he ordered:
"Send two people to the imperial capital to inquire."
"yes."
On the street.
After leaving the Wei family bank, Chu Li walked a few streets with his head down, gradually speeding up his pace. When he saw the overlapping shadows of people, he turned around and disappeared around the corner.
Behind him, a guard stepped forward quickly.
Where are the people?
Where did you go?
Where are the people who were here just now?
He looked around for the person, but the other person seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared in the blink of an eye. A moment later, an elegant woman with long black hair and plain white clothes walked out from the corner of the street.
The two passed each other.
The guard was still turning his head, looking around; the woman had already walked away, stroking her cheek.
"Young Master Chu? You...how come you are a woman?!"
The Eight Vajra Kings were completely dumbfounded.
Chu Li took out four small gold bars and said, "In the Jianghu, identity is the most unimportant thing. The Wei family bank said that the deposit is insufficient, and I will give you the rest in five days."
Eight people should be eight small gold bars.
Take four first.
The one-eyed man smiled and said, "It's no big deal. It's our honor to work for Mr. Chu...Miss Chu."
Farsighted Eagle narrowed his eyes wisely:
"Jiangnan is the largest city in the Mohuai area, and is home to many wealthy merchants and nobles. The Wei family bank said that it had insufficient funds, but I'm afraid they are doubting Miss Chu's identity."
clever.
Chu Li gave him a look and said, "I just went to get it dressed as a man. From now on, I will dress as a woman so they can't find out about me."
The one-eyed dragon clasped his hands and said:
"The Wei family bank is the best in the country, so it must be no pushover. In the next few months, the eight of us brothers will temporarily live in Jiangnan City. If Miss Chu needs anything, just tell her what to do. We will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Sure, sure."
The conversation ended and they went their separate ways.
Chu Li, with three small gold bars in his pocket, could not wait to find a good theater, asked for the best seat, and ordered a table of delicious food and wine to soothe himself after the long journey of the past few days.
The actors wore heavy makeup, swung their sleeves, and sang melodious Jiangnan tunes on the stage.
The storyteller was in a corner of the hall, patting the chopping board and stroking his beard. A group of people surrounded him and stared at him.
The waiter held a long-spouted teapot and performed the stunt of pouring tea with his backhand.
The waterway outside the window flows slowly, and the boats on the water hold up colorful oil-paper umbrellas, which is beautiful. Pedestrians come and go on the arch bridge, which is lively and colorful...
He took a sip of the wine.
Tsk.
elegant!
Great!
