The situation turned out to be as Lu Yuan had expected. Fang Tianying's defeat did not end the Black Wind Bandits rebellion. Instead, the turmoil grew larger and larger.
After defeating the [Eagle King], Iron Sword Sect and the government took advantage of the victory to attack. A large number of Iron Sword Sect disciples cooperated with the government's police officers to surround and suppress the Black Wind bandits.
However, the core members of the Black Wind Bandits are all fast-moving horse bandits. They rode fast horses and came and went like the wind. They retreated as soon as they reached a place and would not stay for long at all.
In this massive siege, apart from wiping out some peripheral bandits, the core backbone was not killed at all.
Like walking a dog, they took the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect and the officers and soldiers of the government for a walk in Luling Mansion.
A cat-and-mouse game of chasing and escaping is played out everywhere.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Facing the Iron Sword Sect and the government, which have the advantage of being a local leader, no matter how fast those outside Black Wind thieves run, they will be slowly wiped out sooner or later.
At that time, no matter how powerful Fang Tianying is as the Eagle King, without a large number of subordinates, he can only become a mere commander and cannot make any big waves.
Leaving in despair in the end should be the only outcome for the other party.
unless.
At this time, the Black Wind Pirates can produce another top-notch master to smooth the gap in top combat power, so that they can compete with the Iron Sword Sect and the government in terms of momentum.
But is this possible?
It is a miracle that a mobile bandit group can produce a first-class master. If one appears and two appear in a row, even a fool can tell that there is something wrong behind it.
Of course, as long as you have absolute strength and your methods are clean and neat enough, even if there is a problem, others will selectively turn their eyes and blindly ignore you, and they will never dare to say more.
"I just don't know if the people behind Black Wind Pirates have the ability and determination."
Many people are guessing.
…
Regarding the cat-and-mouse game between Black Wind Dao, Iron Sword Sect, and the government, Lu Yuan didn't pay too much attention except going to the tavern every day to hear the latest news from traveling merchants.
Ever since he heard that Fang Tianying was defeated, he knew that there would not be any major changes in Luling Mansion in a short period of time.
And no change means stability.
Stability represents a certain degree of order and security.
Even if this order and security are based on the brains of dogs that have been killed outside.
But as long as there are no big problems here in Yangmei Town, isn't that enough?
Rather than focusing on fighting and killing in the arena, Lu Yuan preferred to spend his time practicing martial arts.
“In this world, if you don’t have strength, that’s a sin, and you’ll be at the mercy of others.
I don’t want to commit a crime, and I don’t want others to control my destiny, so I have to make myself stronger. If you want to become stronger, you must practice martial arts. This is the ability to settle down and live in peace. "He had already realized this in his heart.
The world is dangerous.
This turmoil taught Lu Yuan a vivid lesson.
What is the consequence of not having strength?
Lao Chen and Lao Bantou are the most obvious examples.
The two of them have honest personalities, and they are also very warm-hearted people. They can help each other with anything on weekdays, and they are standard warm-hearted people.
But even such a good old man, staying peacefully in the mountains, was still killed at home.
The dangers of the world, the ruthlessness of society, and the cruelty of human hearts are all vividly displayed.
"This is a lesson learned from the past." Lu Yuan was alert in his heart and then took action.
The most obvious change is that the time he spends practicing internal energy every day has increased from the original two hours to the current four hours. As for the time to practice the palm technique, it is still two hours.
Just practicing every day takes him six hours, which is already half of the day.
It can be said that he is diligent.
However, Lu Yuan's consumption of meat and medicinal materials suddenly increased crazily.
Internal strength is the combination of the soul and the essence and blood in the body.
In terms of soul, Lu Yuan had no problem. He traveled through time and absorbed the original soul. The power of his soul was already stronger than that of ordinary people.
A powerful soul not only brings powerful perception, but also allows him to repeatedly sense the location of his prey and detect approaching danger when hunting.
It also brings a strong foundation and recovery speed, which is enough to support the consumption of this kind of high-intensity internal training.
But in terms of physical essence and blood, there is no way.
After all, he was soul-pierced, not clothed, but he didn't have another body for him to fuse with.
"The physical body is the source of essence and blood. If I forcibly extract the qi and blood from the body and convert it into internal force, it will inevitably lead to the terrible consequences of depletion of qi and blood and severe damage to the body's vitality.
When the time comes, it will directly turn into dried meat, and it is no lie that he will be killed on the spot.
In order to cultivate internal strength, squeezing yourself into a human being is contrary to the original intention of practicing martial arts to strengthen your body. It is putting the cart before the horse and is not advisable. "Lu Yuan saw it clearly.
He is an immortal and has an unlimited future. There is no need to kill himself for the sake of temporary strength.
That's really buying a casket for a pearl, and it's extremely stupid.
Fortunately, he has the gift of immortality. In addition to giving him an immortal lifespan, this gift also has an invisible benefit.
That is the definition of physical fitness.
This is an invisible benefit that Lu Yuan only discovered after careful experience and observation over the past two years.
After traveling through time and inheriting his original body, from that moment on, his body's time was forever frozen in that moment.
In other words, Lu Yuan's body will always remain at the age of sixteen.
Sixteen years old, the same age as flowers.
Who doesn't want to be a teenager again? Who is not a teenager?
Others may only be able to think about it with regret in their hearts.
But Lu Yuan wanted to tell them loudly here: "You can only think about it, but I will always be a sixteen-year-old boy."
"My golden finger said so."
Time is frozen.
What is fixed is not only youth, but also life span, and also Lu Yuan's physical foundation.
In a fixed time, he will always maintain the youthful vitality of a sixteen-year-old. Similarly, his body will also maintain the peak quality of a sixteen-year-old.
This means that as long as it does not destroy the body completely at once and make life completely cold. As for other small problems such as practicing internal strength and over-squeezing Qi and blood, the body of the immortal does not have this problem at all.
Isn't it just a lack of Qi and blood?
Eat more meat to provide some energy supply, and your body will instantly return to its peak.
The body is eternal. This is the ability given by the gift of immortality and will never change.
What Lu Yuan needs to do is to recharge this ability to maintain its operation.
"So, others can only practice internal strength for two hours a day, but now I can practice it for four hours, six hours, or even twelve hours a day.
As long as the energy supply can be ensured and this lock-in is maintained, there will be no problems with the body at all. "
People who often watch martial arts movies, TV shows or novels will probably see these sentences often.
So and so has twenty years of internal strength, so and so has fifty years of internal strength, and the protagonist even has a hundred years of internal strength.
These are concepts proposed in novels, movies and TV series.
As for Lu Yuan, who has actually practiced martial arts and collected a lot of information about the world, he can accurately tell everyone that this concept exists in this world.
The specific principle is probably the essence and blood theory mentioned above.
Because the human body has its limits and the physical foundation is there, the soul and qi and blood in many people's bodies can only support one person to practice internal strength for two hours a day. If it is too much, it will damage the body and shorten the life.
In this case, the amount of internal strength a person can increase every day is actually limited.
And in the case where most people increase their intensity by about the same amount, doesn’t it mean that people who have practiced for a long time have high internal strength?
So you have twenty years of internal strength, and I have fifty years of internal strength. If everyone's moves and skills are at about the same level, can't they just rely on their deep internal strength to directly crush their opponents?
Therefore, whether a person's internal strength is deep or not, and how many years of skills he has, are actually one of the criteria for measuring whether a person is strong or not in the world.
Of course, there are also some people who are gifted and born with good foundation and can practice for a longer period of time.
Some people are just better off than others.
If you can practice for three hours or even four hours a day, you can achieve the other person's achievements in half or even less time.
Practicing martial arts is actually something that requires talent.
"Fortunately, relying on the talent of immortality, I can barely be considered a genius." After sorting out these, Lu Yuan instantly felt good: "It's okay now."
He was happy, but thinking about the protagonists in the novels he had seen before time travel, he was still a little disappointed with this lock-in: "Compared with practicing hard, staying up, and leveling up every day, I still don't want to work hard anymore. ah.
When can you give me that kind of plot where the protagonist gets an adventure after falling off a cliff, not only practicing magical skills, but also using exotic fruits and animals to increase his internal strength?
I just want to have a good time..."
Lu Yuan was filled with resentment when he thought back to his research on his own golden finger over the past two years, as well as the discovery of buffs such as the luck aura of a time traveler.
In fact, ever since I got the Flowing Cloud Palm and discovered that this is a martial arts world.
When he was hunting in the mountains, he often ran to places like cliffs and caves.
But after visiting twenty or thirty cliffs and caves in a row, and carefully searching the mountainous area with a radius of hundreds of miles, he could not find any cliffs or caves that contained the remains of his predecessors, the inheritance of magical skills, or the like.
Not even a shadow of the alien beast could be seen.
Instead, some ferocious beasts and disgusting poisonous insects were everywhere, and he almost got hit several times.
Finally, after hitting the wall dozens of times and confirming that he really had no protagonist aura, Lu Yuan calmed down and accepted his fate honestly.
From then on, he kept his feet on the ground and practiced martial arts diligently day after day.
"However, according to the current progress, the time for practicing internal strength has been doubled every day, and the accumulation of internal strength and the opening of meridians and acupuncture points have also become faster.
Perhaps practicing the Taiyin Lung Meridian in the Hand will take only one and a half years instead of the originally thought three years.
Even if I work harder, I might be able to master it in a year. " Lu Yuan thought like this.
The improvement in the time spent practicing internal strength brings benefits in all aspects.
It is not only the accumulation of internal strength, but also a breakthrough in one's own realm.
If he can practice the Taiyin Lung Meridian in his hand for one year, and then spend more than a year practicing the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian in his hand, then he can become a third-rate expert in the world.
"In this case, after five years of travel, I became the third-rater in the world. This achievement, if you think about it carefully, seems to be..."
Lu Yuan thought about the deeds of other time-traveling seniors, felt a little heartbroken, and complained: "Forget it, at least I have gone from being unpopular to being top-notch. Third-rate is better than nothing."
"Practice, practice, I love practicing"
Humming random off-key tunes, Lu Yuan performed some palm skills to warm up, and then went back to his room to practice his internal skills.
Without the protagonist's luck, he is not a krypton gold player. As an ordinary immortal, now he can only rely on his good liver and fight to the death with others.
Fortunately, according to the current progress, maybe we can survive?
…
The world gradually fell into calm.
Lu Yuan was busy practicing Kung Fu and worked hard on the internal liver. On the other hand, Sun Siwen also stopped hanging out with him and started a new round of studying hard in seclusion, preparing for the autumn exam in a few months.
It is now the end of May, and there is only April left before the autumn exam in early October.
For Sun Siwen, who was determined to obtain the imperial examination title, there was not much time left to prepare for the imperial examination.
However, memorizing the exercises is not too difficult for him, a person who has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience.
?
Well, at least Sun Shusheng felt that it was not too difficult.
After passing the scholar examination in one round, people's hearts are already a little swollen.
However, the problems in the exam were not big, but the problems outside the examination room made Sun Siwen a little worried.
If you just study the test questions and prepare for the imperial examination, you can just read quietly at home.
But the Juren Examination, unlike the previous Scholarship Examination, can be taken in small counties.
The examination was held in the county town.
Yuzhang County is more than 700 miles away from Dayu County. The road is so long that it takes more than half a month just to travel.
But what time is it now?
To say that the war is chaotic is a bit excessive, but bandits are everywhere, but it is not bad.
Now the entire Luling Mansion is full of bandits.
There are countless gangsters attracted by the name of the Black Wind Bandit.
At this time, these big bandits joined forces with the Black Wind Bandits and wreaked havoc on Luling Mansion, making the place a mess. Even several mansions around Luling Mansion were slightly affected, causing a lot of chaos.
in this case.
If you ask Sun Siwen, a weak scholar, to go all the way to the county to take the scientific examination, wouldn't that cost his life?
Those bandits kill people, but it doesn't matter whether you are a scholar or not, whether you have the reputation of being a scholar or not?
People only kill people for two things, one is wealth and the other is pleasure.
Coincidentally.
Scholars rushing to take exams usually have to spend a lot of money on travel expenses. And the scholar, fair and fair, is more handsome, not even worse than a country girl.
For some ruthless bandits, some people are quite good at it.
When Lu Yuan was in the tavern, he heard from time to time about some handsome scholars who had been murdered by the Black Wind Bandits. In the end, the money was lost, and people were also lost. It was a big joke.
As a frequent visitor to the tavern, Sun Siwen naturally heard about this.
therefore.
As a man who considered himself a handsome man, Sun Shusheng began to worry.
"Beauty can sometimes be a trouble." He thought in his heart, which made him even more distressed.
