There is a waterway from Bajun down, and the waterway that lasted for half a month made the business group extremely bumpy.
Living on such a ship for a long time is not only uncomfortable, but also faces problems such as the possibility of the ship running aground.
But this is already considered the safest mode of transportation from Bajun to Jiangxia.
This is also the avenue that Zhao Liang agrees with.
If you rely on carriages and horses to pass through rugged mountain roads, it will not only be difficult to pass, but you will also face more safety problems
It is difficult for a normal business group to make such expenses. Fortunately, they are not seeking profit, but just want normal traffic.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Zhao Liang leaned on the railing and looked, his heart wandering to nowhere.
Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu were sitting in the cabin chatting to pass the time.
There are many Confucian scriptures that need to be memorized, and Dong Zhongshu is good at various magic arts, which makes the two monks not lonely together.
Occasionally, Zhang Xuezhou gave an explanation, mentioned the realm technique of the Yin Yang family, and had a dialectical discussion with Dong Zhongshu.
"One side of the Yin-Yang family's realm technique is yin, and the other side is yang. They seem to be dependent on each other, but they conflict with each other. According to what you said, only by practicing until the yin wraps the yang, or the yang devours the yin, can you break the imprisonment and reach the ultimate. This kind of practice It takes a lot of force to break through the realm of law, and extraordinary manpower can break it..."
Dong Zhongshu talked about his own understanding.
Zhang Xuezhou talked about almost everything except the issue of human elixir.
The Yin-Yang family's practice of cultivating the realm of Yin and Yang is extremely unique. This is a school that controls power to the limit.
There are ways to control the Nine Heavens Sect on the negative side, and there are also ways to control the Nine People Sect on the positive side.
Whether it is elixir refining, formation formation, or puppetry with complicated requirements, subtle control is inseparable.
This kind of realm technique makes Dong Zhongshu envious.
If it weren't for Zhang Xuezhou's lack of knowledge, he would have been determined to delve into it to see if he could integrate the realm studies of the Yin Yang family into his own practice.
Well-versed in hundreds of schools of thought, Dong Zhongshu's realm technique does not follow the rules, but has its own definition and reference of perfection.
He is proficient in both civil and martial arts, which almost corresponds to the fusion of yin and yang.
However, the realm arts of the Yin and Yang family pursue the ultimate Yin and Yang, and many aspects of their cultivation techniques are more in-depth than other schools. There is no problem in replacing the realm arts of many schools.
This even goes beyond Dong Zhongshu's current Confucian scriptures.
If he adopts Yin Yang's teachings to practice, Dong Zhongshu feels that his own practice will inevitably be replaced.
It has surpassed the Confucian cultivation technique, so there is a possibility that he can learn from it.
However, Dong Zhongshu felt that the realm arts of the Yin Yang family might have gone astray in their final form, or that there might be a better way that has not yet been discovered, otherwise the Yin Yang family would not have declined to this point.
It seems that Zhao Bugui and Jinchang are famous all over the world, but this fame is brought about by the execution order, not the real influence of the Yin Yang family.
Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but feel regretful when describing his own opinions.
"When I have all the content of the realm technique in the future, you can help me take a look!"
The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, Fu Bugui is lingering in the hidden worries of Rendan, and Jinchang has been plotting to seize the inheritance of Jiutian Sect.
As for Zhang Xuezhou, he doesn't have much say in the Yin Yang family's cultivation content at the moment.
He lacks enough knowledge, lacks enough realm, lacks enough years of accumulation, and he spends a long time in the act of saving his life.
Under this situation, Zhang Xuezhou rarely thought, and more often followed the path of his predecessors to learn.
Zhang Xuezhou has indeed always maintained respect for the founders of the sect such as Dong Zhongshu and Ren Shengsheng, and has also looked forward to these people.
Zhang Xuezhou has never been a self-conscious person. When he talked about the realm cultivation techniques of the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Mantra and the Yin Yang Great Joy Nine Persons Mantra, he wanted to hear Dong Zhongshu's reference opinions, and even expected Dong Zhongshu to give some guidance.
The only drawback is that Zhang Xuezhou currently has less content.
But after hearing Dong Zhongshu mention that the two realm cultivation techniques of the Yin Yang family are both extreme realm studies, and there are few cultivation techniques in the world that can be used as substitutes, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.
According to Dong Zhongshu, the Yin-Yang School has nothing to say at the beginning. This goes beyond Confucianism, and it is even possible that 99% of realm theories are not as good as the Yin-Yang School’s beginning.
But the Yin and Yang family failed in the middle or late stages, and a perfect beginning did not correspond to a perfect ending.
The two of them were talking to each other, and they were nodding their heads.
It wasn't until the ship's hull shook violently that the two men's faces changed and they quickly ran out of the cabin.
"Masters, we are waiting for the grass bandits to suffer from hunger and cold. I hope you will enjoy the food!"
In the river, dozens or hundreds of long bamboos were thrown into the river bottom, leaving only their sharpened heads.
This arrangement is very simple, but forcing the shuttle will inevitably dig into the bottom of the ship, making Zhao Liangbao's cargo ship afraid to move forward, so it has to rely on reverse oars to temporarily stop it.
There are several more bamboo rafts floating on the water.
On the bamboo raft, dozens of young and middle-aged men in ragged clothes were holding knives and swords, and many of them were carrying water-splitting thorns and other items.
Leading the young adults was an old man in his sixties.
The opponent has gray beard and hair, but his skin is bronze and his muscles are bulging. He has a bow and arrow hanging on his back and a big knife on his waist. He is obviously proficient in all kinds of martial arts, both near and far.
He shouted, which immediately caused all the young and middle-aged people to shout.
"Get off the boat!"
"Hand over your goods!"
"We want money!"
"Being obedient will save your life. If you don't, don't blame the water ghost in the river for eating people!"
"Death without a whole body!"
"I can let you leave after the goods are released!"
…
The young adults used very short words to describe the most serious consequences.
"You water bandits," Zhao Liang shouted, "We are here from Shu County, and we carry the official documents of the county governor to do business. Don't get into big trouble because of this!"
In the face of life, Zhao Liang certainly doesn't care about property.
But this is not the city of Shu County. The long journey and lack of money will make it difficult for them to travel.
Getting off the boat can avoid conflicts with water bandits, but it also means heading towards a dead end.
Conflicts are inevitable when trying to protect ships and property.
Not only did everyone feel bad after more than ten days of sailing, but they also lacked physical strength. What was even more troublesome was that few of them were good at water fighting.
Even if the boat is scuttled by this group of people, it will cause unbearable trouble.
Zhao Liang took a deep breath and realized that the current situation was just like the choice made more than ten days ago. No matter how they chose, they would inevitably suffer consequences and troubles.
The twists and turns of this journey made him feel that traveling far was too difficult.
There are at least two-thirds of the remaining journey, and it is a long road with no end in sight.
"Official businessmen!"
"It's an official businessman!"
"Kill these people!"
"Kill them!"
Zhao Liang's self-reporting of his family status did not arouse the fear of the water bandits. On the contrary, his mention of the government led to stronger hostility among these people.
If the old man at the front of the bamboo raft hadn't moved, these people might have boarded the boat and killed people.
This made him so anxious that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
When he heard the sound of Dong Zhongshu and others stepping in the cabin, he calmed down a little.
After all, Dong Zhongshu was a high-ranking official in the imperial court and possessed extraordinary strength.
If the leader of the thieves can be killed, this war may be stopped.
He almost called out the name Dr. Dong, but the change of name in the past two months forced him to change it back to 'Du Accountant'.
"Iron-backed Blue Ape Su Fang?"
Dong Zhongshu walked out of the cabin and looked at the leading old man. He hesitated for a few seconds before calling out a name.
"Is it a demon?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.
"He is the master of the Beast Control Sect, and he is a human being!"
"Is the sect leader going out to rob you these days?"
The leader of a school would not be a demon, but the leader of the Beast Control Sect fell into the water and committed robbery. This was the most outrageous leader of a school Zhang Xuezhou had ever seen.
