Merchant ships went to sea overnight, along the coastline, all the way north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Life at sea was quite boring, and during this time, Ning Jiang constantly practiced his acupuncture skills with a knife and a little girl, as well as his sister and lover who sometimes sneaked into his house.

Of course, in the eyes of Guan Yezhou and those Yuxiang gangs, he, a "little white man", has nothing to do with the "Mixed River Shuangjiao", and he has not even taken a few face-to-face photos. After the mixed river Shuangjiao got on the boat, they basically hid in their house and did not come out.

Under Ning Jiang's tutelage, the knife change technique is also much more proficient, although when it becomes a human, it still can't make the cat ears and cat tail disappear, but sometimes it can be transformed into almost the same size as Sister Xiaomeng, aside from the cat ears, the two people standing together are simply twins.

At this time, Ning Jiang would sigh, this is really a godsend.

It is not an easy task to take the sea route, the hull of the ship must withstand the strong wind and waves, and the helmsman must be familiar with the reefs everywhere.

However, these boats of the Yuxiang Gang are actually only going north along the coastline and according to the nautical charts that have been drawn a long time ago, and they are all going offshore, so the risk is much smaller.

In this way, they finally entered the Huang River from the mouth of the Huang River.

On this day, the merchant ship stopped, Ning Jiang was lying on the bed, playing with a knife, and there was a knock on the door outside: "Dao Chief, it's here." ”

Ning Jiang cleaned up, of course, there are not many things to really clean up, a medicine box that is not heavy, let the little girl carry it, and the knife took a small flag, on which the flag is written with the eight characters of "Wonderful hands rejuvenation, divine needles help the world".

Out of the room, to the deck, at this time, the sky was just dawning, the ship docked at a pier on the north bank of the Huanghe River, in Luzhou. The "Shuangjiao of the mixed river" also wore their own veils and got off the boat.

Before leaving, Ning Jiang kept smiling and thanking Guan Yezhou, basically, after these people returned to Jiangnan, it would be impossible for Ning Jiang to see them again.

If it weren't for borrowing their boat to come here, the Yuxiang Gang would have been ended up a long time ago.

After getting off the boat, in a place where no one was, he took a knife and a little girl to meet Jian Li and Xiao Meng. He said: "Next, be careful yourself, in this area of Luzhou, there is no rudder of our Heaven and Earth Society, and there should be a stronghold in Momen, but unfortunately I don't know where it is." The contact information left by Princess Shanshan is in Huozhou, which is a bit far away from here. ”

Chun Jianli smiled: "Don't worry, with the ability of the two of us, who are you afraid of now?" ”

Ning Jiang sighed: "There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, there are not many masters on the rivers and lakes, and there are quite a few barbarians, which are not easy to mess with." In short, along the way, walk more, see more and cause less trouble. ”

Chun Jianli said: "You are, along the way, don't rely on yourself to practice acupuncture with our bodies for a few days, and then heal the dead everywhere." ”

What does it mean to heal the dead? How can I heal the dead? My medical skills are very good, okay?

Ning Xiaomeng said: "Brother, you have to be careful yourself, be low-key, don't always be so arrogant, you need to know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the ......."

Hey, when did I get arrogant? Where am I arrogant? I've always kept a low profile, okay? And wasn't that what I just said to you?

actually wanted to be taught a lesson by his sister, Ning Jiang was somewhat speechless. He said: "Okay, then high-five as an oath, this time, everyone is more low-key." ”

The two girls said in unison: "Okay, high-five as an oath!" ”

Ning Jiang raised his palms, Jian Li and Xiaomeng each raised a hand, and with a "snap", they struck at the same time.

Then they separated. Ning Jiang continued to pretend to be a young Taoist, taking Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Dao, two "little Taoist boys", on the road, and Jian Li and Xiao Meng also followed in the direction of Huozhou......

Rather be a peace dog, don't be a troubled person! In troubled times, the furnace is like boiling water, and everyone is steamed inside.

To the north of the Huang River, all of them were devastated by the war, and the two prefectures of Lu and Cai were the worst. When the barbarian army first came out of Helan Mountain and Xia Gap, these two states were the key points of the decisive battle between the Chinese side and the barbarian army, and after that, the Chinese side collapsed, and there were bandits and soldiers everywhere.

Even when Ningjiang was the phase, the whole strategy, these two states were abandoned, originally intended to put all the troops in the upper reaches of the Huanghe River, set up many checkpoints, and delay the pace of the barbarian army into the Central Plains, until the barbarian army was dragged through the whole winter.

As a result, after Song Qian ascended the throne, the troops forcibly advanced, and finally caused the dispersion of the troops, the entire battle completely collapsed, and the north of the Huanghe River still failed to hold, but led to Li Hu and Mengyu directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains, the capital was lost, and the son of heaven Song Qian and the Manchu Dynasty were all captured.

After the baptism of soldiers one after another, along the way, there was wasteland everywhere, which can be described as the people's lack of livelihood. The displaced people were driven back and forth, and the uncontrolled rebels after the breakup were far more cruel than the bandits. In addition, a large number of barbarians migrated from Yinchuan and plundered the Chinese people as slaves.

However, with the complete loss of the Central Plains and the establishment of a new dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, most of these rebels were in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness, or were exterminated by the barbarians, or survived and barely supported, and some Moists ran back and forth, trying to establish a connection between the rebels from all walks of life, while propagating the new Moxue, while establishing a united front of mutual cooperation.

However, the barbarian army is too strong, and in addition, many of them would rather join the barbarian army and oppress the lowly Chinese people with the barbarian army, rather than support Xinmomen.

In these days in Luzhou today, Ningjiang has treated patients along the way as a "little white man", and it really has the effect of rejuvenation.

On this day, even Qin Xiaoya'er couldn't help but ask, "Master, is your acupuncture really so powerful?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Nonsense, what kind of person are you and me?" I was born to know that after a day or two of picking up acupuncture, I would use it. ”

Qin Xiaoya said: "Then why do you need two girls to practice with us on the way from Jiangnan to here?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Isn't it because it's interesting to let you put on various postures and half-untie your clothes and let me poke with a needle?" Idle is idle anyway. ”

Then the little girl was speechless.

At this time, there was a desolate scene everywhere, and in the surrounding villages, even the grass roots in the fields were dug up by the fleeing refugees. In one of the counties they passed, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and some miserable people were scattered in the corners, and many more had left with the begging army. Rumor has it that there are barbarians on the banks of the Huang River massacring the displaced people who have joined the beggar army, although I don't know what the truth is, I am afraid it will not be too far behind.

When he came to the city gate, he was about to go out of the city. "Dao Chief, please stay!" A crisp female voice rang out behind them.

Ning Jiang looked back, only to see a woman, three men, four young men and women riding horses, these four people riding horses, with swords, their clothes are not gorgeous, most of them are arrow-sleeved strong suits, obviously they are all martial arts people.

The woman at the head restrained her horse in front of him, probably seeing that he was too young and didn't know if he was the person she was looking for, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that a Taoist master who is skilled in medicine has passed by recently, may I ask if it is Brother Tai?" ”

Ning Jiang said with a smile: "The poor Dao is indeed a little familiar with medical skills, as for whether it is the 'Dao Master who is proficient in medical skills' you are looking for, this poor Dao is not easy to say." The heavens and the earth are big, and I am not the only Taoist. ”

A person next to him said: "Sister Zhen, this person is so young, so many doctors are helpless, what's the use of looking for him?" ”

The young woman whispered, "Can't you leave Xiao Jiu's life alone?" Jumping off the horse: "What is the name of the chief?" ”

Ning Jiang whisked the dust and put it on his arm: "Xiaobai!" ”

The young woman was a little confused: "Xiaobai? ”

Ning Jiang said: "There are clouds in the "Tao Sutra": the big white is like humiliation! What is Dabai? Those who study the mysteries of heaven and earth and master the essence of all things are also! The more you understand the secrets of heaven and earth, the more you know your own insignificance in the vast world. Poor Dao didn't dare to pretend to be a big white, so he had to be a 'little white'. ”

The young woman thought to herself, "This man has some fame!" ”

So he said: "I am the daughter of the Lord of Qili Fengfeng, surnamed Zhao Mingtingzhen, my father has two righteous brothers, recently, my second uncle's only son was killed by a demon, and I don't know whether it is poisoning or internal injury, no matter how it is treated, it can't be cured, the Taoist may go to see?" If it can be cured, it will be rewarded heavily. ”

Ning Jiang said: "Where is Qilifeng?" ”

Zhao Tingzhen said: "It's six or seven miles away in the north. ”

Ning Jiang waved the dust again: "In this case, Poor Dao will go and take a look." ”

At that moment, Zhao Tingzhen asked one of them to give up a horse and asked the little white Taoist to get on the horse, as for the two little Taoist children that the little white Taoist said, she took one with her own horse, and the other sat behind the little white Taoist. The one who gives the horse shares a ride with another companion.

Prior to this, Ningjiang had also explored the various forces in the Luzhou area along the way, and knew that Qili Feng was one of the local forces in this area, and Zhao Guipan, the master of the front, was originally a quasi-grandmaster-level master, and after the appearance of the Jiuyin True Scripture and the great prosperity of Xuanqi, he stepped into the grandmaster level, and his two sworn brothers, one was called Cao Ziteng, and the other was called Ying Quankun.

These three people, have a fateful friendship, after the imperial court began to implement the armor protection law, Zhao Guipan relied on his own prestige and connections, became the local security chief, formed a militia, after Luzhou fell into the hands of the barbarians, Zhao Guipan knew that he could not resist the barbarian army, and was forced to cling.

The existence of the Baojia Law has allowed the people, who were originally scattered, to form an intricate and organized local force to a certain extent, and some of these local forces, although they surrendered to the barbarian army, their own territory is still there, and some continue to raise troops to resist, although they have been killed, they have never been able to kill. Coupled with the great prosperity of Xuan Qi and the appearance of the Nine Yin True Scripture, grandmaster-level masters have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

This also makes it possible for the barbarian army to be strong, but like Qilifeng, a regimental training with a master in charge can only be co-opted, and those that cannot be co-opted will be exterminated as much as possible. And many local forces like Qilifeng, in order to protect themselves, can only throw themselves into the barbarians, grovel, and try not to offend as much as possible, so as not to end up with the destruction of the family or even the destruction of the whole family.

Because he had a general understanding of Qilifeng's situation, and Ning Jiang didn't think that he could find out deeper intelligence from these people's mouths, Ning Jiang didn't take this opportunity to listen to the news, but just talked about the customs of the state.

Zhao Tingzhen asked: "Listening to the accent, the Taoist chief doesn't look like a northerner, I don't know which Taoist temple the chief comes from, and he learned the martial arts of that sect." ”

Ning Jiang said with a smile: "Poor Dao is from Jiangnan, just a traveling Taoist who lives all over the world, and he has never practiced martial arts. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Tingzhen and the others were stunned.

The traveling Taoist priest who is home all over the world, this is not unusual. Just like a person with a sword on his body, he may not be a swordsman, but may just be an ornament. Those wearing green shirts may not be scholars, or they may just pretend to be knowledgeable. In the same way, it is not necessary to wear a dust whisk and a Taoist robe to be a real Taoist priest, among them there are many doctors in the name of Taoist priests, swaggering liars, and even famous Mohist disciples or maverick Confucians.

But no matter what, in such a troubled world, if you don't know martial arts, you dare to take two girls to travel the world, even if you are peaceful and prosperous, in today's world, it is tantamount to looking for death.

Especially the two girls he brought, one looks no more than eleven or twelve years old, petite and exquisite, and the other is even younger, about ten years old, but they are naturally beautiful embryos, and they may be taken by a ninth-rate sect or a bandit at any time, and they will be robbed directly, or sold into a green building, or other more terrible ends.

Obviously he doesn't know martial arts, but he dares to take such two girls and wander around in this situation?

In fact, when this little white Taoist got on the horse just now, Zhao Tingzhen was a little skeptical, whether he would not know martial arts at all, and now listening to him admit it himself, Zhao Tingzhen couldn't help but say: "The Taoist is really bold, in such a troubled world now, the Taoist is not afraid of encountering bad people?" ”

Ning Jiang said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of, although Poor Dao does not know martial arts, but when I encounter bad people, I put on an unfathomable and profound appearance, and others don't know that I don't know martial arts, so I often don't dare to do it." Besides, although the poor Tao is a Taoist priest, he is actually a doctor, and now in this world, people who practice medicine are very popular wherever they go. ”

Zhao Tingzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "What the Taoist chief said is also very reasonable. ”

In this way, they talked all the way, and finally came to Qilifeng.

Ning Jiang rode on a horse, raised his head, and saw that among the undulating mountains in front of him, the cottages were everywhere, although they were not cities, but they obviously made proper use of the terrain, enclosing the surrounding villages and fields together, and then laying down various defense lines such as arrow towers and sentry towers, which were actually equivalent to a city isolated from the outside world......
