Chapter 2 March

From Yanzhou to Youzhou, it was another long journey. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEspecially when the winter snow falls, the road is even more difficult to walk. Fortunately, Li Qin had already made preparations, not only purchased three war horses for transportation, but also prepared a lot of materials for the winter in the wild. These materials were all hidden by Li Qin in the personal space opened up by the face-breaking axe, and he only carried a burden, but it was very light.

A man, a bow, a sword, a burden. In the eyes of others, Li Qin's lonely walk in the cold winter is an act of seeking death. In the cold and freezing days, if you go on the road alone, you may encounter bandits blocking the road and fierce beasts attacking at any time, but it is full of danger. However, Li Qin himself does not see it that way, he knows what he wants, and he also knows how to get it.

The winter trip is a realization and a kind of exercise for Li Qin. After such a long journey, Li Qin not only learned more about this generation, but also further strengthened his physique and experience, allowing him to have more temperament that belongs to this world.

This is a good thing, but it is a blessing and a curse, and Li Qin has grown in this regard, but in the other he has come to a standstill. Because of his lack of personal cultivation, he was unable to practice the Taoist scripture "Taiping Qing Lingdao" that he had taken from Zhang Liang. Although he is also proficient in ancient texts, it is one thing to be proficient in ancient texts, but it is another thing to understand the corresponding exercises from the Taoist scriptures.

"Taoist classics, it seems that we can only manage to find some Taoist priests to interpret." Li Qin thought about it, but he felt some emotion in his heart: "It turns out that the claims of adventures in the novel are all lies. Just give you a cheats book and you can practice peerless martial arts - hey, it seems that before this result, it seems necessary to add that you must have enough cultural background to be able to correctly understand the meaning of cheats. ”

Li Qin thought about it, but he silently added to the things he needed to carry out and added them to his future plans.

In this way, time passed, and Li Qin finally came to Zhuoxian County at the end of the sixth year of Guanghe.

Zhuo County is the county seat of Zhuo County, Youzhou. At this time, the assassin history of Youzhou was Liu Yan, who seized Xichuan in later generations. Unlike his son Liu Zhang, who was extremely weak in the future, Liu Yanke was a person with status, a city government, and ambitions, and he was the one who proposed to the emperor to set up the position of state pastor in the future.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet broken out, Liu Yan has vaguely detected some abnormal clues from some of the information collected by the officials under his rule. For the abnormal movement of Taiping Dao, he was shocked. Soon after Li Qin entered the city, he issued relevant orders and began to rectify the soldiers and horses of Youzhou County. Although this is the original part of the assassin's business, it is also normal. But under the backdrop of the fact that several assassins have not done so before, such normality has become abnormal.

However, whether this is normal or abnormal has little to do with Li Qin himself.

At this time, he came to Zhuoxian County, in addition to wandering around the city every once in a while to find out some news, he ran to the Taoist temple in the city, and asked the Taoist priests inside for all kinds of terms and expressions in the Taoist classics, so as to make up for his shortcomings in this aspect. Although Li Qinnai mainly used popular classics such as "Tao Te Ching" and "I Ching" to discuss all kinds of rhetorical issues, he also secretly asked questions that he could not understand in "Taiping Qing Lingdao".

Because during this period, the Daomen of the world were still relatively pure, mainly based on the Southern Heavenly Master and the Northern Taiping, and there were not so many secular branches, which made people scratch their heads, so Li Qin's questions, in the mouths of different Taoist priests, the answers were relatively consistent. This convinced Li Qin that what he had learned was true.

Therefore, Li Qin gave full play to his desperate efforts when he endorsed the college entrance examination in the past, studied Taoist classics day and night, and studied the method of cultivating immortals in "Taiping Qing Lingdao", from which he studied the method that can be used by himself now.

After that, after a few months, Li Qin, whose face was slightly haggard, had a faint smile on his face. At this time, he had gained something, and after months of study, he emptied everything that those Taoists knew with his terrible learning ability. With a belly of Taoist knowledge, he relied on his understanding of "Taiping Qing Lingdao" and combined with a set of breathing methods he obtained from the last days, from which he realized a technique used to nourish the yuan and build a foundation. The main points of the exercises are:

It is to visualize the place where you have a door, there is a path that communicates with heaven and earth, and in the middle of it, there is a whirlpool formed by your mind to absorb the aura of heaven and earth in your body. Because the day and night are divided into day, the qi is divided into yin and yang, so the yang qi is collected every day, and it is in the Du Mai, and it is attributed to the lower dantian; Gather yin qi at night, walk in the Ren vein, and converge in the upper dantian, so it is said: with yin qi; After that, in the early morning and dusk when the sun and the moon intersect, the yin and yang qi are drawn out from the upper and lower dantians, and they are in the middle dantian, mixed into one, and merged into Taiji.

In this way, the upper, middle and lower dantian have been exercised. In the end, the true qi that I gathered and practiced was also pure and abnormal, but it provided convenience for me to transfer to other exercises in the future. Feeling the wisp of peace and pure inner breath that he finally gathered after ten days of meditation and qi training, Li Qin's heart was filled with joy. It's just that while rejoicing, he also discovered a flaw in this practice of qigong, that is: "The speed of condensing internal breath is too slow!" ”

"Is this a gain or a loss? I operated the internal breath, so that the acupuncture points and tendons of the whole body were washed by the internal breath, but because this flushing was too comprehensive...... The growth of my skills is too slow. Li Qin found a problem and tried to solve it, but he finally gave up helplessly.

Because with the knowledge he can comprehend now, this is the only step he can achieve in the end, and as for the more esoteric things, he can't think of them at all.

This is indeed a somewhat regrettable thing, but Li Qin is not much frustrated. First, he felt the growth of his physical strength and physical strength after practicing this set of exercises. Second, he has understood the breadth and profundity of the book "Taiping Qing Lingdao". I can create such a practice after only three months of study, so what if I know more and understand more in the future? Is it possible to create a very powerful method that is more suitable for you? Knowledge is always learned more and more, and Li Qin believes that the problems that he cannot solve now will always be solved in the future.

"Anyway...... That's it for now. Li Qin decided to put his practice to an end.

It is now March of the seventh year of Guanghe, and the news of Zhang Jiao's rebellion is circulating in the city. Contrary to the suspicions of others, Li Qin confirmed the authenticity of this news, and compared with his memories from later generations, he understood that the historical record of this year would not be the name of Guanghe 7th year, but the title of the first year of Zhongping - because the uprising in Taiping Dao shook the world, so the emperor ordered the change of the yuan to "Zhongping", which was a major event.

But for Li Qin, this major event has little to do with him, but what he is concerned about is another matter related to this matter, Youzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Yan sent a list to call for volunteers. This has not happened yet, but Li Qin has been waiting for it to come. Because only when this incident happens, the princes who want to take refuge will officially appear on the stage of history.

"Liu Bei! That's the princes who really came out of the common people......" Li Qin muttered in a low voice, he still liked this big ear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, after coming to this world and accepting the mission issued by the Lord God, the first decision he made was to quickly go north, come here, and try to join Liu Bei's army.

Although as far as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is concerned, Liu Bei's level of power is low, Li Qin believes that it is only temporary, and as long as he has his help, everything will be different from the original.

"Now we are waiting for that day to come. Right now, the buds of the peach blossoms have condensed, and I think that day will come soon. Li Qin looked at the budding peach trees in the courtyard of the Taoist temple where he was boarding, and thought expectantly.

Everything was as Li Qin thought......

Three days later, the list of Youzhou recruits was solemnly hung on the notice board at the gate of Zhuoxian County, and the villagers who had learned a little about the script announced the relevant information to the people who came to watch.

In ancient times, the spread of information was not so fast, although there were rumors about Zhang Jiao's rebellion in the market, but not many people would believe such rumors, and it was not until the official announcement of such news that the people of Zhuoxian County understood the chaos outside.

War is coming, and some people are worried about their small family; Some people are uncertain, as if they are wondering if they can't make a fortune in such chaos; Others have big ambitions and see this as their chance to serve their country.

So, people with such thoughts began to gather, including Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

It was the spring of March, the warblers were dancing, the grass was green, it should have been the bright spring season, but Li Qin walked on the bustling streets, but he never felt the good comfort brought by the good spring.

At this time, the atmosphere on the street was a little tense and panicked because of the list promulgated by Liu Yan, the state assassin history. The pedestrians on the road walked in a hurry and eagerly. Some timid merchants even stick the door panel of the store tightly, but they are thinking of closing the door and running away. People are determined, people are afraid of chaos, and for those people in the city who can still get by, avoiding the scourge of war is almost an instinctive behavior.

In such a slightly flustered atmosphere, some rumors inevitably appeared. Many of the rumors were useless to Li Qin. He just laughed when he heard it, but some other rumors made Li Qin pay attention to it: "The kid of the Zhang family is crazy." He actually wanted to sell his yard for the sake of the two righteous brothers, gather money to gather volunteers, and go to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. ”

Is he crazy if he wants to be an official? A lot of people think so. Although it is a commendable thing to stick a knife in the ribs of a friend in this era, the Zhang family's mansion is too big, and the price at which it is sold is a high price in the eyes of others. Such a high price is absolutely astronomical for ordinary people in Zhuoxian, who are obviously in a remote area, - so much money is said to give up, and ordinary people are naturally amazed by this.
