Chapter 25 "Star Absorbing Demonic Skill"

Maybe it’s because I haven’t slept for several days…

Xu Boqing woke up and felt refreshed. As soon as he stretched out, he heard the faint voice of Manager Huang: "You kid, you slept comfortably..."

He looked around blankly, and then he was shocked to realize that the place he was in seemed to be Mr. Huang's bedroom.

Manager Huang was sitting at the desk, sipping tea, and flipping through two volumes that looked quite old and were made of an unknown leather material.

The four characters "Star Absorbing Demonic Skills" are written crookedly on the cover of the book in ancient characters. It looks like a book about extremely evil skills...

After Xu Boqing got out of bed, he bowed with a shy face and said: "This villain was poisoned by a thief unintentionally and failed to protect the Queen Mother. Please punish Mr. Huang."

"The thief has been killed by me, and the Queen Mother is fine."

Manager Huang put down the book in his hand, looked him up and down and said, "You, on the other hand, slept here for three days and three nights, causing me to sleep in the study for three days."

"ah?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, and after reacting, he muttered in disbelief: "I was asleep for three days and three nights?"

"What do you think?"

Manager Huang snorted coldly when he saw his appearance, and said angrily: "But you are lucky. The Queen Mother saw that you were loyal and brave, so she fed you the 'Shenzhen King Pill' to dispel poison and nourish your body after you were poisoned. Otherwise, this would

After three days of being comatose, whether you can wake up or not is a question."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

Xu Boqing pretended to be frightened, and then turned his attention to the desk in front of Manager Huang...

On it are not only the upper and lower volumes of "Star Absorbing Demonic Kung Fu", but also a book with the secret book "Book of Changes Bone Forging Kung Fu" on it, a booklet on "Disguise Art", as well as some hidden weapons, poisons and other miscellaneous items.

His eyes moved slightly and asked: "Manager Huang, what are these?"

"It was found on the thief."

Manager Huang seemed to have thought of something, and explained with some nostalgia: "The thief is the famous Thousand-faced Thief Saint in the world, named Cui Feng. He is proficient in Qinggong, disguise, and concealment.

He came to the Imperial City eighteen years ago. At that time, he was only in the acquired realm. Not long after I broke through to the innate realm, I happened to be good at light kung fu, so I captured him and locked him up in the heavenly prison.

Later, the late emperor fell seriously ill, so I forgot about this guy, and later, for some unknown reason, I let him escape.

I never thought that more than ten years later, this guy would also break through to the innate realm, and be so bold as to find Cining Palace to seek revenge..."

His voice paused, and he sneered twice with an inexplicable expression, and then said: "He thought that I was old and the energy and blood in my body would inevitably decline. Little did he know that I had been immersed in the innate realm for twenty years, and even if I was old and frail, it would not be him.

This kind of stuff is comparable."

"Manager Huang is so powerful that I admire him."

There was fire in Xu Boqing's eyes, and he flattered her calmly, sighing: "When I was escorting the Queen Mother a few days ago, I was still thinking, if I also had martial arts, could I be able to share the worries of the manager?

It's a pity that the villain is stupid in nature and was playful when he was young, so he has missed the best time to practice martial arts."

At the end, he added with a sigh: "However, flowers will bloom again, and no one will be young again."

Seeing his sad look, Manager Huang didn't know what he thought of. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "Do you know the best time to plant a tree?"

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it, but he still didn't understand the deeper meaning, so he said frankly: "I don't know."

"Then I'll tell you."

Manager Huang put down the tea cup in his hand and glanced at him, and said with meaning: "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now."

"Ten years ago...now..."

Xu Boqing's breath stagnated, and he realized something in his heart. He bowed and bowed as a disciple, and said, "Thank you so much for your teachings."

"Your understanding is not bad."

Manager Huang stood up, accepted his courtesy calmly, and warned: "If you have ambitions, it's not your age that makes you afraid of not having ambitions. There is no shortage of people in the world who start practicing martial arts in middle age, and there are not a few who are successful."

He tapped the "Star Absorbing Magic Skill" on the desk with his fingers and said: "The master who created this magic skill is an example. He was a scholar in the previous dynasty. He took the exam for more than ten years, but failed repeatedly.

, and suffered humiliation.

When he was forty years old, his family suffered a disaster. He hid in a cupboard and witnessed bandits murdering his entire family.

Later, he gave up writing and concentrated on studying martial arts. He seemed to be possessed by a demon. After he created the "Star-Absorbing Magic Kung Fu", he single-handedly caused a bloody storm in the world.

Let’s not talk about this person’s character, what he did, or his final fate. Just talk about his great perseverance. Why worry about accomplishing great things?”

"Thank you, manager, for your advice."

Xu Boqing hesitated for a while before he could speak.

Manager Huang took the lead and said: "I know you want me to teach you martial arts, but you have to pass the Queen Mother's test first."

"Have you passed the Queen Mother level?"

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned. Although he was ecstatic in his heart, he still looked puzzled on the surface.

"good…"

Manager Huang looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Why do you think I asked you to come to Cining Palace? Do you really think I asked you to come here to clean the garden? Hmm?"

He paused, then raised his eyebrows and continued: "You're lucky, you did a good job in rescuing me in the palace a few days ago, and the Queen Mother has a special regard for you.

During the three days when you were in a coma, the Queen Mother never stopped sending you supplements, and she even sent a message to me to bring you there when you wake up.

I told you before...

If you behave well, not only will you be able to save your second uncle, but you will also gain great wealth.

Now the opportunity has come.

If the Queen Mother is happy to be able to serve you, you will not only receive a large reward, but I can also teach you martial arts;

But let me explain first, if you offend the Queen Mother, your life will be lost. Whether you can control it or not depends entirely on your own ability."

"Ah, this..."

Xu Boqing showed a complex smile of "disbelief" and "devastated by happiness", and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "God will not let you down if you work hard".

"Okay, okay, if you hadn't performed so well the past few days, I wouldn't have said so much to you."

Manager Huang saw him giggling there and said angrily: "Pay attention to yourself and follow me to see the Queen Mother."

"yes."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly and followed Manager Huang out the door.

Life's shortcuts don't come to me.

I will take the shortcut in life~~

Wonderful...

After a short time, under the leadership of Manager Huang, Xu Boqing walked through the garden, walked across the jade bridge on the corridor, and stopped in front of the Linxi Pavilion.

Linxi Pavilion is built on a single-hole masonry bridge in a rectangular pool, facing water on the east and west sides, with steps to the north and south, and is located on the north-south central axis of the courtyard.

The pavilion is square in plan, with three rooms each in width and depth. There are doors in the middle on all four sides, and wooden guardrails are installed in front of the doors on both sides of the water.

The pool on the east and west sides of the pavilion is surrounded by white jade pillar railings. The water is crystal clear to the bottom, with a few water lilies hanging in it. Fish are swimming in the pool. The pavilion is surrounded by tree shadows and blue waves. It is a place for the Empress Dowager to rest in the garden, enjoy flowers and fish...

When the Queen Mother's personal maid saw Manager Huang bringing people here, she bowed and went into the pavilion to report.

It didn't take long.

The old lady came out again and asked Manager Huang to come into the pavilion.

Xu Boqing dusted off the wrinkles on his clothes and followed Manager Huang into the Linxi Pavilion.

After entering, I saw Queen Mother Chen wearing regular clothes by the white jade railing, holding some fish food in her hand and feeding the fish...

The shade of the trees is swaying, and the beauty is picturesque.
