Practicing qi for the first time is equivalent to piling water into a stream, breaking the ground and opening a channel, and the qi training method of Hunyuan Shengong is a two-pronged approach, doing two things at once, which is more difficult and takes longer. It is estimated that at least one time is needed.
But he was currently on the border of Yuzhou, and there were plains as far as he could see. It was not easy to find a suitable place to practice Qi. He could only keep an eye out and search along the way.
Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. The people who suffer the most in troubled times are the people. After entering the territory of Yuzhou, the number of victims fleeing on the road increased significantly. However, the situation of starving to death has not yet occurred, because the grain is almost mature at this time. , the hungry people will steal along the way if they are really hungry. If there are those who steal, there are those who watch. Almost all the fields where rice is grown are guarded day and night by skilled farmers with farm tools. This is also the reason for immortality. One of the reasons for switching from walking in the fields to taking the main road.
Qihuang's art emphasizes seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding. Changsheng studied Qianjin Yifang, which is very mysterious. He can know what kind of diseases the victims passing by are suffering from without asking for pulses. However, he didn't carry any medicine with him, so even if he saw it, he couldn't. To provide treatment, we can only give them some of the rice we bought from Seoul. We cannot give it to every victim. Only those who see that they will starve to death if they don't eat.
The food was distributed to the victims, and it was easy for him to eat whatever he wanted. However, Master Hei's wet nurse had no refined grains, and her milk production was significantly reduced. Master Hei's three feet of intestines were already idle for two and a half feet. This time, without milk, he became even more emaciated. , it had seen Changsheng milking a goat and knew where the milk came from. It was very hungry and went over to milk the ewe.
Hei Gongzi is highly poisonous, and he was worried that Hei Gongzi would poison the nanny to death. He was also worried that Hei Gongzi would run around after he started practicing Qi, so Chang Sheng began to put the reins on it. No one likes to be restrained, and the same is true for livestock. At first, Young Master Hei was reluctant because he had to resist and struggle, but after a few days, he got used to it. Changsheng held him when he was on the road, and when he rested, he stayed wherever Changsheng tied him.
After searching for several days, Chang Sheng still could not find a suitable place to practice his Qi. At this time, his dry food and rice supplies had already been exhausted. At dawn, he saw a large city ahead, so he took Young Master Hei and the ewe with him. Go quickly.
There are usually some temples or inns used for sacrifices outside the city, and this place is no exception. However, there have been wars here before, the inns have been damaged, and most of the houses have collapsed.
Seeing the dilapidated inn, Changsheng walked in. There was a forest behind the inn where he could hide if necessary.
The inn was already overgrown with weeds, and the weeds had obvious signs of lodging, indicating that someone had been here not long ago.
There were no doors or windows in the east wing of the inn. Changsheng went to the window to look inside. When he saw the situation in the room clearly, he broke into a cold sweat. There were several Beggar Clan disciples in the room, some sitting against the wall and some lying down. Lying on the ground.
Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he looked again, only to find that these Beggar Clan disciples were pale, with bleeding from their mouths and noses. They seemed to be dead.
After calming down and taking a closer look, I saw that there were no bonfire ashes on the ground in the east chamber, there were no signs of fighting nearby, and there was no food left around the bodies. This shows that these Beggar Clan disciples were not killed here. But he moved here after being killed.
Naturally, we couldn't stay in this place. After a short observation, Changsheng left in a hurry, leading the black master and the ewe to the city.
The ancients said that those who kill will be killed. The Beggar Clan has done many evil things. It is not surprising that they lost their lives when encountering difficulties. Chang Sheng has seen what the Beggar Clan does before, and he has no sympathy for these dead Beggar Clan disciples. .
He originally wanted to find a secluded inn in the city, but after discovering the bodies of the Beggar Clan disciples, he gave up the idea. With the Beggar Clan disciples nearby, it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Wherever there is a war, rice is expensive, but Changsheng still has a lot of silver on him. He bought dozens of kilograms of rice, millet and millet, and also bought a lot of sesame cakes and fried cakes to carry on his back. He couldn't eat so much himself. Prepared for disaster victims you may encounter along the way.
He originally wanted to buy some medicine, but in the end he didn't want to. The medicines in the drug store were very expensive, and he could find most of them in the mountains and fields along the way.
Leaving the city and continuing north, Changsheng began to look for commonly used medicinal herbs on the way. When he encountered seriously ill victims, he would not only give some food, but also some medicinal herbs by the way.
On the way, he would meet people on horseback from time to time. Whenever he met someone of the same kind, Mr. Hei would be very excited and always wanted to compare his foot power with others.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng began to worry about the future of Young Master Hei. This guy was full of poison. Even if he grew up, he would not be able to marry and have children. Anyone who got close to him would be poisoned to death by him.
Encountering some detoxifying drugs along the way, Changsheng would force-feed them, but they were of no use at all. No matter how many detoxifying drugs were stuffed in, the black master would still urinate darkly. This shows that its toxicity comes from itself and does not require external supplements. , similarly, taking medication for detoxification is of no use to it.
In the end, Changsheng had no choice but to give up. The black master was destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Now he is the black master, and he will become the black father-in-law when he grows up.
If he was alone, it would be easier to find a hidden place. The key is that there are horses and sheep around him, and the target is too big, making it even more difficult to find a hidden hiding place.
You can't go far on foot in a day. Although Mr. Hei is thin, he can keep up with him. The one who is slowing down now is Mr. Hei's wet nurse. The two big granaries are swaying as they walk.
Black Master is very smart and knows where the rations come from. Sometimes when hungry people approach the ewe and ask for milk, he will go up and kick the person. If the other person does not retreat, he will bar his teeth and try to bite.
Most of Black Young Master's teeth are the same as those of other horses, but two teeth near the corners of his mouth turn into sharp canine teeth, which are revealed when he grins. It's really scary to see him unexpectedly.
Young Master Hei was not just frightening outsiders. A few days later, Changsheng was almost frightened to death by it. That night, under the bright moon, he slept outdoors. Because he had something on his mind, he closed his eyes and thought about something. At the second watch, he vaguely heard some noise. Then he opened his eyes and looked, only to find that Mr. Hei was biting the rope.
After noticing that he had opened his eyes, Young Master Hei immediately stopped and turned his head aside, pretending to be nonchalant.
Changsheng found it interesting, so he squinted his eyes and took a peek.
After waiting for a while but no movement from Chang Sheng, Young Master Hei began to bite the rope again. It would not be surprising if he just chewed Chang Sheng. After watching for a while, he found that Young Master Hei was actually untying the rope, and Young Master Hei actually remembered the order in which he had tied the bundle before. .
Untying a simple rope buckle may not seem like much to a human, but Black Master is a horse. It can actually remember how to tie the rope buckle, and can reverse it and bite it open again with its teeth. This is terrifying. .
What happened next made Chang Sheng even more shocked. After unbuckling the rope, Young Master Hei tiptoed out. He kept peeking at him as he walked. He waited until he was more than ten feet away to make sure that he would not be disturbed. Jump around.
After playing enough and tired of running, Mr. Black sneaked back again. He was able to bite the rope and tie himself up again. The rope buckle he tied was exactly the same as the one he tied. It felt that the rope buckle was looser. , and also knew how to hold his head high and pull him back.
Fortunately, Mr. Hei was just running around and didn't do anything he shouldn't have done. Otherwise, Changsheng would have been scared to death by it. Even so, he felt creepy. This guy was already extremely smart. Like a horse.
Being so familiar with the road shows that this is not the first time it has done something similar. No wonder it has been so docile in recent times. It turns out that it is building a plank road in the open and sleeping in the warehouse secretly.
At dawn the next day, Changsheng took off the reins from Young Master Hei's neck. This guy was too smart to be tied down. He had to rely on him to realize himself. Blindly distrusting him and restraining him would only arouse his resentment.
Changsheng had the habit of talking to livestock. After taking off the reins of Young Master Hei, he talked to it more frequently. Although Young Master Hei couldn't speak, he seemed to be able to understand his words. If he let him come back, he would come back. He wouldn't tie him up at night. It no longer ran around, and even if it was fed late, it would not go to the ewe.
After entering Yuzhou, the number of monks I saw along the way increased significantly. Chen Liqiu once said that the Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, is in Yuzhou, so it is not surprising to see monks on the road.
Yuzhou just has fewer mountains than other places, not that there are no mountains at all. After walking for a few days, I finally saw a huge pine forest. It had rained earlier. When I saw the pine forest, Changsheng habitually went in to pick up pine mushrooms.
He thought that there were many disaster victims nearby, and even if there were pine mushrooms growing in the forest, they had all been picked up by others. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few pine mushrooms under the forest, and he picked up seven or eight of them not far away.
I was looking down and suddenly noticed something reflecting light in the grass not far away. I walked over and saw that it was a knife. I picked it up and looked at it. I found that the cloth strip wrapped around the handle was dry, which meant that the knife was It fell here after it rained.
He was holding a knife and looking doubtfully at it. At a glance, he found a few people lying in the grass in front of him. He bravely walked over and took a look. They were all dead people, piled up in a mess. There were more than ten people. Judging from the clothes they were wearing. , should be a reckless bandit.
These people had not been dead long, and the blood at the corners of their mouths had not yet dried.
After a short wait and see, Changsheng ran back to the main road and left quickly. He was terrified as he walked. He didn't know who killed these thieves, but if these thieves were not killed, he would definitely be killed when he passed by. to their interception.
After walking out of Baishizhang, Changsheng suddenly remembered something, then stopped, pondered for a moment, turned around and walked back, re-entering the jungle and carefully looking at the corpses. He did not want to turn over the corpses, but just circled the corpses and looked at them one by one.
There were no external injuries on the bodies of these corpses. The signs of death of all the corpses were bleeding from the orifices, and there were no signs of poisoning on them. This showed that they were all shocked to death by someone using spiritual energy.
The Beggar Clan disciples I saw in the abandoned inn were also dead in the same way. Could it be that they were all killed by the same person?
If these two groups of people were killed by the same person, then there are two possibilities. One is that there are people practicing martial arts walking around the world, doing chivalry and righteousness, and taking action to eliminate harm for the people when they encounter evil people and bandits.
Another possibility is that this person has been secretly protecting himself. Whether he is killing Beggar Clan disciples or these bandits, it is to help him eliminate threats.
As for the specific situation, it is still unclear. It is still necessary to be cautious, and it is still necessary to be cautious.
After walking for a few days with full of doubts, I accidentally discovered a lonely house in the grassland on the west side of the road. There are usually only three houses where people live, but there are at least nine in that house, and the roof is higher than ordinary houses. About a foot away, there is a courtyard wall outside and no side rooms on either side.
The house was about two miles away from the main road. It had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Weeds had grown on the walls and roof, and the surrounding area was waist-high in weeds.
There was no path leading to the dilapidated house on the road, and there were no traces of being trampled on the weeds beside the road, which meant that neither passers-by nor the victims who had fled had set foot in that area.
As for why everyone didn't go there to shelter from the rain and spend the night, the reason was very simple. The dilapidated house was an abandoned charity village, and all charity villages in the north were of this type.
Changsheng had been looking at the Yizhuang while walking. Although sleeping in the wilderness was a common occurrence for him, he was still a little scared to live in Yizhuang. After all, Yizhuang was a place where the corpses of foreigners were parked. If he still He wasn't too afraid of it during use. The key was that the Yi Zhuang was abandoned. God knows what caused it to be abandoned.
After hesitating for a long time, Chang Sheng finally decided to go to Na Yizhuang for a day. He already knew the Qi training method of Hunyuan Sheng Gong. All he had to do next was to follow the diagram and follow the current. Walking in the world without spiritual Qi cultivation was like a blind man riding a horse. , danger may appear at any time, and once danger occurs, you have no power to protect yourself.
That Yizhuang was indeed scary, but it was precisely because it was terrifying and eerie that no one dared to go there. He must not be disturbed by any interference when practicing Qi. After careful consideration, that Yizhuang was the most suitable place to practice Qi.
He made up his mind and wanted to go to the west. He took a step and then pulled back. He took the black male and the ewe and walked straight there. He would definitely leave obvious trampling marks in the grass. He had to move forward. Walk a few miles and find a suitable location to go around.
After walking for two or three miles, I encountered several big trees with few weeds under them. From there, I entered, went west and then south, and came to the back wall of Yizhuang first.
Like the temple, the Yizhuang has no rear windows, so you can't see what's going on inside from the back. When you go around to the main entrance, you find that the dilapidated door is still locked, and there are some faded and mottled charms attached to the door.
At this time, the sun was already in the west, a gust of mountain wind blew, and Changsheng shivered.
Nervousness was inevitable, but in the end Changsheng pushed open the door. The wooden door had decayed for so long that the lock ring on it could be pulled out directly.
The yard was also overgrown with weeds. Because it was covered with weeds, we couldn't see what was in the yard. We could only see a severely decayed windlass on the east side of the yard, indicating that there was a well there.
Although he was nervous, Chang Sheng was not very scared because Master Hei showed no abnormal behavior.
After closing the door again, Changsheng led Hei Gongzi and Ewe to the main room. There was a lock on the door of the main room, but it was not locked, it was just hung on the nose of the door.
Arriving at the door of the main room, Changsheng took a deep breath and imagined all kinds of terrifying scenes in his mind. After he was fully mentally prepared, he took off the lock and opened the door.
Chang Sheng was overjoyed when he could see the scene in the room clearly. The room was empty, with neither coffins nor bones, and only dust on the ground.
After pushing open the door, Mr. Black ran in first. The room was very empty. After he entered, he ran around and had fun without any nervousness at all.
Changsheng walked into the main room and looked around, not only at the surroundings, but also at the roof. According to legend, the beams of houses where people were hanged would have knife marks on them. There were several knife marks on the beams of houses where people had been hanged. Fortunately, the room There is not a single knife mark on the beam, and there is no creepy or chilly feeling when walking around the house.
After checking the house, Changsheng went out and tied the ewe under the eaves. The rope should be as long as possible so that it can graze freely. If it is cloudy and rainy, it can return to the eaves to take shelter.
As for Young Master Hei, he didn’t tie him up. He just took him to the gate and pointed at the gate and told him sternly that he was strictly forbidden to go out and run around. Although Young Master Hei was smart, he was still young after all. He still couldn’t understand words that were too complicated. Just try to be simple and clear, and use a stern tone when necessary.
After making sure that Young Master Hei understood his intention, Changsheng returned to the main room and closed the door.
Young Master Hei had never left Changsheng since he was born. He felt uncomfortable being shut out of the door suddenly, so he opened the door and ran in.
Seeing it come in, Changsheng didn't chase it out again, and designated an area on the west side to prevent it from wandering around in the room.
Chang Sheng sat cross-legged and recollected and sorted out all the details in his mind. Hunyuan Divine Skill was different from ordinary martial arts. The promotion to the first level of the Light Red Cave God needed to be achieved in one go, rather than accumulated many times.
As night falls, Chang Sheng abandons distracting thoughts and begins to exhale and circulate Qi...
