It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"You can't hide things in your heart. If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhou An put down the information in his hand and said: "Now that I have taken office, I don't want to see a subordinate who dare not speak."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Sheng seemed to have something to say at this time, but something seemed to be hindering him, so when the words reached his lips, he was embarrassed to say them out.

He Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then heard what Zhou An said. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhou, in fact, at present, everything in Zhenguisi is well maintained and there are no major problems. But only in this Huaihe River." Xijing’s relationship with the Yamen is not very good.”

Having said this, He Sheng reached out his hand, took away some of the materials on the table, and then found one of them.

This material is very thin and doesn't look like much. There are only a few pages.

But if He Sheng could dig out this information, it must be useful, otherwise this incident would not have happened.

"Sir, the reasons are all in this information. You will know after reading it." He Sheng thought for a moment and said.

When Zhou An first heard He Sheng say that he had a bad relationship with the Yamen, he frowned.

It stands to reason that the prosperity of a place is inextricably related to the Yamen.

And whether a place is stable or not, its relationship with the Zhensi cannot be underestimated.

Stability and prosperity are the standards of a region.

Only if these two items meet the standards, then the area will be considered qualified.

In every city, the yamen take care of the people's livelihood, while the town government is like a knife, blocking out all the invading weirdos and demons.

The Yamen and the Zhensi seem to be two departments that perform their own duties, but at certain times, the two will act together.

Zhou An has encountered it several times before.

But the current situation in Huaixijing seems to be a bit problematic.

Zhou An didn't say much, picked up the information on the table and read it carefully.

After he read this information, he suddenly realized it.

"It turns out that this bad relationship is because of my problem."

He thought it was something, or even thought it was something big.

But now it seems that this big thing is not that big.

The reason has something to do with the imperial decree of Huaixi Jing.

The imperial magistrate of Huaixi Jing is named Pei Lin. He is a scholar in the psychic realm and an old man from the Great Chu Kingdom.

When the Great Chu State was founded, it also made many contributions to the Great Chu State.

To be honest, Pei Jingling is quite capable as a scholar.

In addition, Pei Jingling's identity as an old man of Chu Kingdom is also his capital to gain a foothold in the officialdom.

But the problem lies in this identity.

The scholars of that generation were all headed by the Prime Minister.

And the Prime Minister... looked very unhappy with him.

Even the Prime Minister was unhappy with him, and the people standing next to him naturally treated him the same way.

Therefore, the bad relationship that He Sheng mentioned just now comes from Zhou An himself.

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

"It's a small matter, it doesn't matter." Zhou An put the information aside and said calmly.

To him, it was indeed a trivial matter.

His way of doing things was simple.

If you get along well with me and treat each other politely, I will take you seriously.

But if you and I don't get along well, then everyone will stop playing, and I will definitely be the first one to flip the table.

Now, the Yamen and the Zhensi have different powers, and there is basically no overlap.

It's a good thing that everyone is in peace. Zhou Anxin is the boss and is very skilled here.

If he wants to cause trouble, Zhou An will let the other party know the power of Pao Ding's sword technique.

"What your Excellency said is absolutely true." He Sheng said with cupped hands.

What he said to Zhou An was actually what a subordinate should say.

After all, when Zhou An first took office, if he didn't even mention this issue and something happened later, it would fall on him.

Now that I have said it, He Sheng will not care or understand what Zhou An wants to do.

It's all the leader's own business, and it's up to the leader to worry about it.

Zhou An is Si Jing who suppresses the Guisi. As long as he says a word, He Sheng can just take the lead in the charge. There is no need to think about anything extra.

"Okay, you go down." Zhou An waved his hand and said.

As the chief of the room, He Sheng naturally had a lot of things to do, so he left quickly after hearing this.

As for Zhou An, he started to read this information.

There is a lot of information, including the basic situation of Huaixi Capital, the distribution of personnel and forces, and various customs and customs.

There are also various layouts of Zhensi Si in Huaixi Capital, as well as weird illustrations, various secrets in the world, and so on.

Zhou An has never seen many of these things.

There are naturally a lot of books given by the emperor, but if you really want to cover them all, Zhou An may not be able to finish them all if he reads them for a long time.

So at this moment, Zhou An temporarily put down his liver proficiency, but first absorbed the information in front of him.

Intelligence is the top priority.

Regardless of the level of strength, without intelligence and knowledge, he is like a blindfolded man who doesn't even know where to stab.

After all, not everyone can do a blind stab.

So Zhou An also knows his priorities clearly.

It didn't take long for Zhou An to write down all the information.

Fortunately, he is an expert in the industry, and photographic memory is a standard feature, so it didn't take much time.

"This trip is actually not a waste. These materials alone are already a good deal." Zhou An thought to himself as he put down the materials.

He stood up and prepared to go out with the black jade.

This time he came to Huaixi Capital for a dual career.

Not only Si Jing of Huaixi Jing, but also the supervisor of the craftsmen.

So Zhou An also had to make a trip to the craftsman's supervisor's side.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

Zhou An successfully went to Jiang Zuo Supervisor. After getting to know the people there, he still followed the old pattern and told them to come to him if they had something they couldn't solve.

After finishing all this, Zhou An went to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce again.

Since you are in a new place and it has something to do with you, make it a priority to run around.

The person in charge of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in Huaixi Capital is Gu Wei, a middle-aged and wealthy businessman.

Naturally, a chat is inevitable during this visit.

Of course, Zhou An's house in Huaixi Jing was also arranged by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

After chatting for a while, Gu Wei personally took people to Zhou An's house.

It's still the same, the things inside are all reproduced according to Zhou An's habits, so there are no changes.

After doing all this, a lot of time has passed.

Zhou An went to Zhenguisi and found He Sheng.

He told He Sheng that if there was anything he couldn't handle, he would go to the house to find him.

As a capital-level city, Huaixi Jing plays more of a leadership role.

So the daily work is actually very simple and routine, but as Mr. Wei said, things are not very busy.

After all, Zhenguisi is now considered a mature operating organization, so it naturally does not require too many changes.

After everything was complete, Zhou An returned to his house with the black jade.

Although it is a new house, Zhou An feels very familiar because the furnishings inside are replicas.

Heiyu was also very familiar with him. After arriving at home, he took Zhou An's hand.

"Chair……"

Chairs are basically kept here by Zhou An when he goes out, so at this time, Heiyu specifically asked Zhou An for a chair.

Zhou An didn't hesitate, took out the chair from the pink purse and handed it to Black Jade.

After Black Jade got the chair, she happily ran to the side and continued to play with her chair.

As for Zhou An, he started to gain proficiency.

His proficiency has improved a lot, especially Bagua arithmetic. Even on the birthday of Emperor Xingwu, Zhou An did not relax and took advantage of some free time from time to time.

There is already a lot of light at the end of the Qi Ti villain.

"It's important to seize the time to improve your proficiency. Reach the psychic realm as soon as possible. Not only will your strength be guaranteed, but you can also go shopping in the psychic space."

Zhou An thought to himself.

Not long ago, I also learned from Monk Huachen that the psychic space is actually a buffer area and is also related to the crack.

Of course Zhou An also wanted to take a look.

Although he is very good at fighting now and killing the psychic realm is like playing, his real realm is only the innate realm.

The sooner you reach the psychic realm, the sooner you can explore the psychic space.

Zhou An felt that he should gain something in the psychic space by then.

Now, Zhou An's goal is clearer, that is to move towards the psychic realm.

Thinking of this, Zhou An started to get mad.

——

Zhou An is busy doing Bagua arithmetic.

His arrival made many people have different thoughts.

Huaixi Jing is a Beijing-level city, and one can imagine the complexity here.

Whether it is the various officials, various family forces, or the various surrounding sect forces, none of them can be compared to prefecture-level cities.

After all, a Beijing-level city also manages many prefecture-level cities.

Now Zhou An has long been prosperous in the world.

Each force has its own ideas.

Some were thinking about going to Zhou An's house in a few days to make friends, some were worried about the prime minister and hesitated, and some were just spectators, swaying from side to side like grass on the wall.

The Zhong family is a big family in Huaixijing.

The reason why the Zhong family is said to be large is because the Zhong family has a head of the psychic realm.

The head of the Zhong family is named Zhong Quan, and he is also famous in the world.

It is said that when he was young, he once became famous in the world with his superb flying knife skills.

As a martial arts family, the Zhong family, under the leadership of Zhong Quan, has established a firm foothold in Huaixi Capital.

The Zhong family must know about Zhou An's arrival.

There are already many members of the Zhong family wondering whether they should go up and make friends.

But Zhong Quan didn't express anything, leaving the Zhong family confused.

They really wanted to make friends with Zhou An, but the head of the family didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to take action. After all, they were always members of the Zhong family.

At this time, Zhong Quan was sitting on the recliner in his room, drinking tea and pressing Zhen Shou below.

Next to him, stood a man in black robes, watching this scene silently.

Zhong Quan is already very old, and his hair has a hint of silver.

But the word Lao Dang Yizhuang was fully reflected in him.

After a while, with a sigh, the veiled woman raised her head.

"The master of the house has been here for a long time." The veiled woman smiled.

Zhong Quan waved his hand and said nothing.

The woman in gauze stood up silently and came to the side of the man in black robe.

"Master Zhong, how do you think of this superb martial arts technique?" the man in black robe said with a smile.

"The double-healing method uses the mouth as a connection to continuously purify the Qi in the body. For you, it is quite suitable."

Zhong Quan put the teacup in his hand aside, glanced at the man in black robe, then at the woman in gauze, and said, "If you can give this woman to me, she will be the most suitable for me."

"The technique you call is indeed powerful, but the requirements for women are too high."

The man in black robe shook his head and continued to smile: "Coming to purify the Zhong family master once a month is already the best. If I give it away, I will lose my capital."

Zhong Quan sneered and said: "There are many families who have practiced this double combination method. This woman must be very busy."

The man in black robe shrugged: "This has nothing to do with Master Zhong. This is my own business."

Zhong Quan didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Tell me, what do you mean by asking me not to make good friends with Zhou An?"

"According to Zong Xing, I should be Huai Xijing's nail. If we make friends at this time, we can hide it better."

"It also makes me look more normal."

Hearing this, the man in black robe shook his head and said: "There is no need to hide, and there is no need to be normal. It is the most normal thing to ignore Zhou An."

"We are currently making a big plan, so I came here specifically to tell you not to interact with Zhou An, so as not to delay the plan."

"After all, even if you pretend to be close to Zhou An, there is still a risk of being discovered if you stay in contact for a long time."

Zhong Quan fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "In that case, I agree."

The man in black robe had achieved his goal and did not continue talking. He turned around and left very quickly.

After the man in black robe left, the room fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

Zhong Quan stood up, pulled up his pants, looked at the teacup on the table, and felt a little emotional.

"I don't know where Zong Xing got these skills from. It's really fascinating. Even I almost couldn't control it."

"Fortunately, I have a scale in my heart."

"They should be coming."

As Zhong Quan said these words, the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"How is the result?"

Zong Shanyin, the chief of Dingfang Jia, suddenly appeared, like a ghost, making it difficult for people to notice.

If it hadn't been for making this sound, I would have been dead, and I don't know who had done it.

Zhong Quan immediately turned around, bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Zhong Quan, a member of the first room of the Zhengui Division, has met your Excellency."

Zong Shanyin waved his hand and said: "Let's get down to business. How is the situation with this indulgence?"

Zhong Quan said slowly: "At present, it is still impossible to find out the specific purpose of the manipulation and which families have been recruited."

Zhong Quan was careful when he said this.

Only Zhong Quan knows about his other identity.

He had joined the Suppressing Spies a long time ago and became a secret agent of the Suppressing Spies.

As we all know, Zhensi has to manage people in the Jianghu, and the workload is extremely huge.

But they have a new idea.

That is to develop members within the power.

Especially for these families, having an official status is an absolute benefit to them.

Zhong Quan is one of them.

Originally, Zhong Quan believed that he had become Zhenguisi's secret agent, and his purpose was to help Zhensisi monitor other family forces.

But what he never expected was that one day, a manipulative person came and brought him the method of double-combination.

This technique uses that indescribable posture to purify the Qi in the body.

To be honest, the effect is very significant.

Zhong Quan also learned about Zong Xing's plan.

It seems that he has already used this trick to win over many families.

After all, few people can resist this temptation.

It can not only improve your strength, but also feel great.

As for the specific plan and which families were being roped in, Zong Xing was very cautious and did not tell Zhong Quan.

Of course, naturally, Zhong Quan has another task, which is to be a reverse nail and nail it into the vertical sex.

These days, if you do things in a secret way, I will also do things in a secret way, and it is common for everyone to get in the way of each other.

High-end conspiracies are often so simple and unpretentious.

Zhong Quan is very smart and understands the current momentum.

No matter how much you indulge in, can you still be as powerful as the Chu Kingdom?

The Zhong family is the family of the Great Chu Kingdom, and Zhong Quan is also a spy for the Suppressant. To be fair, he is much better than Zong Xing. Of course he is on the side of the Suppressant.

"Well, continue to lie in wait and try to find out the information about Zongxing, but don't expose yourself. You know your role is very important."

Zong Shanyin said slowly: "That lord is already here. He has a mortal enemy with Zong Xing. I think this matter must be done well, and it will be of your benefit."

When saying this, Zong Shanyin remained calm, but he could not suppress the admiration in his heart.

"I heard that Master Zhou took care of Xin'an Temple as soon as he came, and didn't care about Qinghuang Temple's face at all?"

Zhong Quan said cautiously: "It's really an iron-blooded method. If I didn't have this mission, I would definitely pay a visit to Mr. Zhou."

The things Zhou An did at Xin'an Temple have now become widespread.

Zong Shanyin said with a smile: "There are plenty of opportunities. When your affairs are over this time, you will naturally be favored by Mr. Zhou. Do your job well. Behind you is the Suppressant, you understand."

"I understand, I understand!" Zhong Quan replied quickly.

When he raised his head, Zong Shanyin's figure had disappeared.

Zhong Quan then worked hard to adjust his expression and became the same as usual.

On the other side, Zong Shanyin returned to Zhenguisi and reported everything to He Sheng.

"Master He, things have basically taken shape. It's time to tell Master Zhou." Zong Shanyin said after finishing his report.

In fact, when Zhou An came, He Sheng wanted to talk about this matter.

But he couldn't figure out Zhou An's behavior.

Sometimes, as a subordinate, it is best to figure things out before talking to your boss.

Otherwise, if your boss suddenly asks you a question and you don’t know how to answer it, that would be a shame.

It will leave a bad impression on your boss, which will have the opposite effect.

Now that things are clear, it's time to tell Zhou An.

Thinking of this, He Sheng said: "Go to Mr. Zhou's residence and tell the whole story."

Zong Shanyin nodded and left quickly.

——

Today is already Zhou An's second day in Huaixi Capital.

Currently, proficiency growth continues in an orderly manner.

Zhou An is actually not far away from reaching the seventh level of Bagua arithmetic.

In the morning, Zhou An took Black Jade as usual and went to the street outside to have breakfast.

After eating, Zhou An returned home and planned to continue his liver proficiency.

To be honest, Zhou An felt that the current life seemed to be back to his previous life.

Although it is boring, it is also very regular.

Proficiency is also slowly increasing.

On the way back, Zhou An naturally followed the old rules and prepared to continue his liver proficiency.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could get excited, he felt someone coming to the door.

Through his clairvoyance, Zhou An saw that the person coming was Zong Shanyin whom he met not long ago.

"I came here at this time. It seems that something is wrong."

Zhou An thought about it, came to the door, and opened it.

Outside the door, Zong Shanyin was thinking about what tone he should use to speak to Zhou An, and did not knock on the door for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An opened the door first, but he was stunned.

"Come in." Zhou An said calmly.

Zong Shanyin nodded quickly and quickly walked into the courtyard, following Zhou An.

Zhou An walked into the room with Zong Shanyin and poured a cup of tea for Zong Shanyin: "Drink it. This is not a place to suppress spies, so there is no need to be restrained."

Zong Shanyin nodded, took a shallow sip, and then said: "Sir, there is something going on here this time. The thing is like this..."

He told everything about sexual indulgence.

Zhou An was listening nearby and roughly understood what happened.

"These guys are really capable of causing trouble."

To be honest, Eunuch Wei was right in what he said.

Being Si Jing, things don't go much, but the speed of getting information is really fast.

Especially about indulgence.

Zhou An had only one idea for this indifferent organization, and that was to beat them all to death.

Now that he had a clue, Zhou An tried the simplest method first.

Thinking of this, Zhou An circulated the Qi in his body.

Golden Bagua appears.

In front of Zhou An's eyes, the Bagua arithmetic began to operate continuously.

He planned to use Bagua arithmetic to see if he could see any clues.

In the past, this skill was always unfavorable. Take the last time in Xin'an Temple as an example, the outstanding one was a speed pass.

But now the situation is different.

The Bagua arithmetic turned out to be blurry, and the specific situation could not be seen at all.

"It can't be calculated. There seems to be something wrong." Zhou An touched his chin and thought to himself.

Obviously, the sixth-level Bagua arithmetic cannot calculate the specific situation, which means that the situation this time is quite big.

Zong Shanyin next to him couldn't see the golden Bagua, but he could feel that there was an exquisite aura flowing around Zhou An at this time.

He had seen this kind of aura in a hexagram master before.

"But there is a huge gap between that Gua Master and Mr. Zhou." Zong Shanyin thought in his mind.

When he was thinking this, Zhou An took back the Bagua arithmetic.

"Continue to investigate. If you have any questions, please tell me directly." Zhou And said.

In fact, the current idea of ​​​​suppressing traitors is right.

With Anzi as an internal agent, the situation can be better controlled. There is nothing that can be fine-tuned.

As long as there is news, tell Zhou An directly, and Zhou An can take action to smooth out these problems.

Zong Shanyin quickly replied: "Sir, I understand!"

This trip was just to tell Zhou An the news.

Now that the news has been revealed, Zong Shanyin will naturally not stay any longer.

He was very discerning and knew that he could not be disturbed at this time, so he left.

After Zong Shanyin left, Zhou An was not idle and continued to work on Bagua arithmetic.

"Since the sixth level Bagua arithmetic can't be calculated, what about the seventh level?" The corners of Zhou An's mouth rose slightly.

After reaching level seven, if you can figure it out, then just strike with precision.

"You guys, don't even think about escaping. Anyone who offends me should go down to accompany my aunt. Auntie is quite boring alone."

Thinking of this, Zhou An stopped thinking about it and started to get angry.

…

The days to come will be calm.

Zhou An seemed to have fallen into a very regular life.

Every day is about eating, doing fortune-telling with the liver, and teaching Black Jade.

Due to the incident of indulgence, Zhou An currently has no other proficiency, but has developed Bagua arithmetic.

So much time has passed.

Since the sixth level of Bagua Arithmetic requires 100,000 points of proficiency, it has not yet been upgraded.

But after such a long period of madness, it reached the point of 80,000 points.

And the proficiency level of 80,000 points is exactly the limit of the proficiency stored by the Qi Ti villain.

At this time, the end point of Qi Ti villain's chest has reached its limit.

Going up to the liver, the light at the end will not rise. For Zhou An, it will be a loss.

So Zhou An decided to use the stored proficiency first.

The 80,000 proficiency points, after being stored brightly at the end of the Qi Ti villain, are now converted into 40,000 points.

Of course, Zhou An didn't have the slightest reason to choose Pao Ding's Jie Ren Dao to add points.

It didn't take long for Chef Ding's proficiency with the Jieren Knife to rise rapidly.

The price is that the light at the end of the Qi Ti villain gradually weakens.

Soon, the light at the end of the Qi Ti villain completely disappeared.

When the light disappeared, Chef Ding's knife skills also improved tremendously.

In front of Zhou An's eyes, the other proficiency levels remained unchanged, except for the Pao Ding's Jie Ren Dao and Bagua Arithmetic.

[Pao Ding's sword technique lv.6 (Speed ​​+8, Accuracy +8, Sharpness +8): 80000/100000]

[Pot Spell lv.6 (Strength +8, Destruction +8, Seal +8): 1/100000]

[Flying Dragon Body Technique lv.6 (Speed ​​+8, Dodge +8, Flying +8): 1/100000]

[Form your own body lv. 6 (hardness +8, fusion +8, defense +8): 1/100000]

[Read Thousand Volumes lv.6 (Spirit +8, Understanding +8, Rebound +8): 1/100000]

[Making Trouble lv.6 (Water +8, Water Control +8, Healing +8): 1/100000]

[Medical Gu species lv.6 (medical theory +8, toxicity +8, poison penetration +8): 3500/100000]

[Thousand Mile Eyes lv.6 (Detection +8, Illusion Breaking +8, Range +8): 1/100000]

[Holy Spirit Demonic Body lv.7 (purification +10, dispersion +10, power +10) 1/120000]

[Bagua Arithmetic lv.6 (Accuracy +8, Deduction +8, Formation +8): 80000/100000]

Zhou An looked at these two skills and felt a little comfortable with his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Pao Ding's Jieren Dao and Bagua arithmetic both have 80,000 points.

It won't take long for Zhou An's Bagua arithmetic to reach level seven, and by then, he will be able to do calculations for these manipulative guys.

At this time, it was just noon.

Black Jade was playing with a chair boredly.

Although Zhou An took her out to eat every day recently, Bai Yu felt that she was quite bored when Zhou An was busy.

Fortunately, there was a chair to accompany her.

At this time, Zhou An relaxed a little, and Black Jade came over curiously.

She hasn't had skin for a long time, and she wants to skin it.

But the result is obvious.

"Boom!"

Black Jade looked aggrieved, covered his head, and ran back to the chair.

"Zhou An...knows what I'm thinking!"

She felt that the next time she was exposed, she must be unexpected.

Zhou An didn't care about this, he just did it casually.

He plans to continue the Liver Bagua arithmetic and upgrade the Bagua arithmetic to level seven as soon as possible.

Thinking about this, Zhou An planned to continue.

But just as Zhou An was preparing, there was a knock on the door.

At this time, a member of the Suppression Division was standing outside the door anxiously.

Zhou An frowned and then came to the door.

As soon as the door opened, the members of the Zhenguisi spoke.

"Sir, it's bad, something big has happened."

"Hurry up and follow me to suppress the traitors."

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "Let's go!"

Now that we have found this place, it must be a big deal that cannot be handled.

Zhou An put aside the proficiency matters for the time being. It was important to go to suppress the enemies first.

Soon, Zhou An closed the door, took the black jade, and walked towards Zhen Guisi.

…

At this time, Zhenguisi was in a serious mood.

In the courtyard of Zhenguisi, there is a white cloth.

Under the white cloth, the body was covered.

When Zhou An walked into the yard, he frowned slightly as he looked at the corpses on the ground.

He Sheng was checking there.

The white cloth on one of the corpses was lifted, revealing the corpse.

Zhou An saw it clearly and found that the death state of the corpse was extremely horrific.

The corpses were all like dry trees, without the slightest trace of blood.

It was like someone had drained all the blood.

He Sheng also saw Zhou An and walked up quickly.

"What is the identity of the deceased, and why did he die?" Zhou An said concisely and concisely.

He Sheng also knew that this was not the time for ink stains, so he quickly replied: "These dead people are those families who were bewitched by sexual indulgence. This family all died overnight."

"What's surprising is that even if these families died, there were no signs of fighting at the scene, as if they died suddenly."

"There have been inspections just now. This group of people... were drained of all their blood and essence, and... were drained of energy. Not even a trace was left."

Drained of essence, blood and Qi?

After hearing this, Zhou An walked to a corpse and inspected it.

Even if people in the industry die, their Qi will remain and will disappear over time.

Now these corpses, exactly as they say, seem to have been drained.

These people are all traitors who have practiced the so-called double-combination method.

Logically speaking, he should be regarded as a permissive person.

But he died unexpectedly.

This phenomenon is obviously related to people who indulge in sex.

Thinking about this, Zhou An asked: "Do you have any clues?"

Now that the bodies have been found, the Suppressant should have found some clues.

Sure enough, after Zhou An finished saying this, He Sheng gave the answer.

He Sheng nodded, organized his words, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhou, maybe... it has something to do with the Eighth Skill..."
