Chapter 4315 Chapter 4317 [Hidden in the city]
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling then found an abandoned house in the city to stay and practiced until night.
During this period, Xiang Nan helped Xu Ziling convey a lot of internal energy, giving him signs of gradually breaking through the third level of "The Secret of Immortality" and entering the fourth level.
When the "Secret of Immortality" is practiced to the fourth level, the twelve main meridians can be opened, allowing the internal energy to flow more and more unobstructed, and the cycle will continue, and the strength will be greatly increased accordingly.
Going one step further, at the fifth level, you can open up the eight extraordinary meridians. By the time you reach the sixth level, you can open up the two meridians of Ren and Du and break through the barrier of life and death. At that time, you will really be able to rank among the top masters.
Xiang Nan took advantage of this. He had already opened up the Ren and Du channels, so he had already practiced the "Secret of Immortality" to a very high level.
Just to accommodate Xu Ziling, he always chose to hide and pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
"It's almost time, let's go." Xiang Nan said to Xu Ziling at the next watch.
Xu Ziling nodded and set off for the Duke's Mansion with Xiang Nan.
With their current skills, it would not be difficult for them to enter the Duke's Mansion.
For them, the ten-foot-tall wall of the Duke's Mansion was just a matter of leaping.
Entering the Duke's Mansion, the two of them first arrested the servants, "Where do Miss Li Si and Miss Song live? Be honest, or we will kill you!"
"Our young lady is not in the Duke's Mansion. She went to Yangzhou and has not come back yet." The servant turned pale with fright and quickly replied, "Who is the Miss Song family?"
"Are you sure, your lady is really not here?" Xu Ziling was stunned, and then asked quickly, "Miss Song family, even Song Yuzhi, the eldest lady of the Song clan, is not here either?"
"Our young lady is indeed not here, and neither is the Miss Song family." The servant waved his hand and said, "Our second young master is fighting outside, and our fourth young lady should go to help. As for the young lady of the Song family, I really don't know where she is."
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling looked at each other, then let him go and left the Duke's Mansion.
"Master Zhong, it turns out that Miss Li and Miss Song are not here, so what should we do?" Xu Ziling looked at Xiang Nan and said.
"Don't worry, it's not like we can't live without them." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Before, we didn't live to be eighteen. Now that we have extraordinary skills, are we still afraid that we won't survive?
In this way, we first go to the bank of Hengtai Bank and steal a sum of money. Since he won’t give it to us, we will get it ourselves. After getting the money, find a place to stay and practice martial arts well.
When we master the magical skills, we will be able to conquer the world. It’s not that we defect to others, but that others recruit us. When the time comes, let’s see who dares to show mercy to us and who dares to rely on us? "
"It makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.
…
The two immediately came to Hengtai Bank and sneaked into the bank secretly.
Although there were guards in the bank, their strength was far inferior to that of Xiang Nan and the other two, so the two of them entered the bank without any effort.
Then by grabbing his tongue, he easily found out the location of the money bank.
When the two came to the money bank, they saw that the money bank was made of huge rocks, and the door was made of pig iron. There was also a huge copper lock hanging on the door, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the lock rod alone was heavy. Arm thickness.
Such a large copper lock cannot be broken by pure external force. Even using a saw would take half a day.
And there are so many guards in the bank. If you hit hard or use a saw to cut, you will definitely attract the guards, and you will definitely not be able to escape.
It can be seen from this that Hengtai Bank's treasury is really impregnable and impeccable.
With a wave of his hand, the copper lock immediately turned into a flying bird.
Xu Ziling was overjoyed and immediately opened the money bank door. It seems that this door must weigh a thousand kilograms, and it is estimated that even with explosives, it may not be able to be blown open.
When he entered the money bank, he saw rows of shelves filled with gold and silver ingots, and copper coins piled up like a hill.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen so much money." Xu Ziling couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.
"Then why don't you go roll in the pile of copper coins? Don't worry, I'll pretend I didn't see you." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Come on, I won't be so worthless." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "Come on, hurry up and take as much as you can."
"Well, be careful not to touch the mechanism." Xiang Nan reminded, and then he and Xu Ziling started to put the gold and silver ingots on the shelf into sacks.
After all the pretense, it was really hard to pretend, so the two of them left with satisfaction. When leaving, Xiang Nan thoughtfully turned the bird back into a lock.
In this way, let the Chai family wonder how the warehouse was stolen.
…
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling each carried a sack of gold and silver and left Hengtai Bank, dodging night patrol soldiers along the way.
It wasn't until he returned to the abandoned house that he put the sack down.
Then they counted carefully under the light. This time they carried out a total of 300 ingots of gold and 100 ingots of silver.
Gold and silver ingots are all fifty taels per ingot, which is fifteen thousand taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver. According to the exchange ratio of one to six between the price of gold and the price of silver in the late Sui Dynasty, they could barely recover their capital this time.
"That's pretty much it. It's considered revenge." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Xu Ziling also nodded. With so much money, they can be considered rich.
"How will we spend this money?" he asked Xiang Nan.
"The so-called small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the city." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "We will rent a house in Taiyuan City and practice martial arts diligently every day. In time, when we have achieved great success and come back to the world, we will naturally have no future. And disadvantageous.
I don’t think either Hanwan or Ren Shaoming would believe that we, all talented people, would be willing to be ordinary citizens, right? "
"It makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.
Anyone who has mastered magical skills will not be able to help but think about it.
Just like Taoist Master Shi Long, after he mastered the "Secret of Immortality", he immediately turned against Fu Junma and went on a killing spree in the world. As a result, everyone in the world knew that he had obtained the magical "Secret of Immortality", which also led to his death. disaster.
So Xiang Nan is right, the more they practice magical skills, the less they can show off, and instead try to keep a low profile.
In this way, they will naturally not attract anyone's attention, and they can practice their martial arts with peace of mind until the day when they achieve great success.
…
Soon after, Xiang Nan rented a small courtyard in Taiyuan City and lived in it with Xu Ziling.
The courtyard has a very good layout, with three north rooms and two wing rooms forming a small courtyard. There are pomegranates and grapes planted in the courtyard. It is the end of summer. The pomegranates and grapes are ripe and the fruits are abundant. It looks particularly festive.
After moving in, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling began to practice kung fu at home.
As for three meals a day, they are all delivered by restaurants on the street. Deposit a few taels of silver first and settle the accounts at the end of the month. After you are familiar with it, you can also post accounts and close accounts every quarter, half a year or even a year.
This was a common phenomenon in ancient times.
