Chapter 306: Breakthrough
There are about twenty days left, and even if it is slow, it should be about ten days.
Therefore, Xiao Yao and the eldest lady decided to take the mule cart of the horse gang along the way, so that it would be convenient for the mountain road to be walked, and someone could be familiar with the geography, so as not to delay the time and not to be too hasty.
There are many such caravans in Xizhou, they mainly transport goods, but also use empty mule carts to carry people by the way, every time they go to a large village or town, they will stop at a large village or town, unload some goods, and then load some new goods, and these caravans are often closely related to the Tusi of various tribes, and few people dare to rob them.
At the same time, in order to protect the safety of the goods, the caravan will also have a team of more than a dozen people, which can be used both as a guard and as a companion.
Xiao Yao and the eldest lady chose a horse gang surnamed Wang, and set off in the night to leave Xizhou that night.
The two-person mule cart was basically the same as the Han horse-drawn cart, except that it was pulled by two mules, and the interior of the cart was relatively spacious.
could have been four or five people, but Xiao Yao paid for it all.
After leaving the city, Xiao Yao hung the wooden card stolen from the Tusi Palace's waist on his waist, and the leader of the horse gang who accompanied him became extremely enthusiastic when he saw it, and then listened to the conversation between Xiao Yao and the eldest lady, and immediately "guessed" the identities of the two.
The eldest lady is very likely to be an important person in the Tusi Palace, and Xiao Yao is the eldest lady's bodyguard, and the two went to Bai Miao to attend the ceremony of the witch and ghost conference.
This kind of understanding made them have extra respect for Xiao Yao and the eldest lady.
Xiao Yao was very happy to see them misunderstand like this, and he didn't break it, and soon got into a fight with several coachmen of the horse gang.
However, the full-time guards of the caravan were very indifferent, and they rarely spoke on the road, and there were people patrolling back and forth every time they stopped.
Xiao Yao learned from a coachman that Bai Miao and Hua Miao had several conflicts recently, so the eldest brother, the leader of the horse gang, issued a death order and asked to pay attention to safety, so the guards were very careful and tried to bypass the conflict as much as possible.
One of the coachmen even said that although Xiao Yao and the eldest lady were from Peng's Tusi Mansion, they still had to be very careful.
Because there are too many tribes in Miaojiang, and they are all in the mountains, some tribes occasionally go down the mountains to rob, and then go into the mountains, and no one can find them.
The caravan walked all night and day, and on the evening of the next day, they arrived at a stockade.
The reason why we set off from Xizhou at night is also because it is relatively safe near Xizhou, so that we will arrive at a village where we settle down the next night, and there is no need to sleep in the middle, which is much safer.
There are about 1,000 people in this village, and they are also very familiar with this caravan, many people come to the caravan to buy things brought from Xizhou, such as salt, iron and other things that are not in the village, and then sell some things such as seedling clothes, wood carvings and medicinal materials to the caravan.
The members of the caravan simply set up a few tents to rest in a vacant lot at the mouth of the stockade. When I arrived at this cottage, it was obvious that everyone was a lot more relaxed, and there was no need for people on night duty, and even drinking and dancing around the campfire.
The eldest lady was tired, so she rested in the car, while Xiao Yao and a few coachmen chatted around the bonfire.
Looking at this group of simple coachmen, although their lives are a little hard, they are also very quiet, but they and the eldest lady have twists and turns all the way, when can they live a quiet and comfortable life again.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but sigh and recalled the carefree and comfortable life in Zhao Mansion.
The night is getting thicker, the coachmen are falling asleep one after another, Xiao Yao sat in front of the car, looking into the distance, looking at the night in the mountains, flying out of the sky.
Listening to the calm breathing of the eldest lady in the car, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Carrying the practice of leisurely travel, for a while, the heart is fascinated, and the mood is open, as if you are like a Kunpeng, roaming in this mountain, flying freely.
Xiao Yao felt that the true qi in his body was gathering more and more, and after running for a week, he suddenly felt a warm current gushing out of the dantian.
The Getaway Exercise breaks through the fifth layer!
At this moment, Xiao Yao's heart is like a mirror, and he is not shocked. It seems that this qiē has nothing to do with himself. Or after the breakthrough, the mood is more peaceful.
Close your eyes lightly, your mind will come from your heart, and your breath will move at will. True Qi instantly gathered in the palm of his left hand, opened the seal, held the square jade, and found that the originally vague patterns and words had become clear and thorough.
Carefully identifying the words and patterns inside, the words on the jade plaque describe the daily life of a certain person, and the age seems to be very old.
This jade plaque is only a part of it, recording the diary of the person about ten years or so in his youth.
Although the text inside is a seal script, there are new annotations added by later generations, and it seems that the original text of the diary does not have any words, but only simple pictures.
These drawings are very simple, simple to the point of being quaint, to the point of being a little naïve.
However, when Xiao Yao browsed more and more of these simple and simple pictures, the shock in his heart also intensified. Through the annotations of Guò's descendants, Xiao Yao vaguely guessed the name of this person.
It seems that the protagonist in the picture is the ancestor of Miao Jiang.
Chiyou!
Then, this Chi You's diary is the classic book that has been passed down for thousands of years by the Wu clan - "Song of Witches"!
At that time, the Wics did not have writing, and only used patterns to describe daily events.
And in this picture, the official Chiyou recorded the things he observed every day and thought were valuable one by one with patterns.
When Chi You was born and how long he lived, no one knows for a long time, and it is even more unclear now.
What is recorded in this piece of jade is that in the past ten years, Chi You has summarized and comprehended witchcraft according to the changes of the stars.
It is said to be witchcraft, but now it seems to be some astronomical and meteorological knowledge.
When Xiao Yao entered Miaojiang, he heard that the ancestors of all ethnic groups in Miaojiang were all Wu tribes in ancient times, and the Wu tribe at that time was also called Jiuli. It is composed of nine clans and eighty-one tribes, and Chiyou is the leader of this alliance of Jiuli tribes.
After Chi You's death, some people of the Wu tribe moved south one after another, and gradually evolved into the current Miao Jiang.
At that time, the diary that recorded Chi You's life was rearranged and summarized by the Wu clan and became the classic book of the Wu clan - "Ode to the Witch".
Wu Song is engraved on a wooden plaque made of maple wood, this wooden plaque is called Chiyou Monument, and each subsequent generation of Wu Wu gods will make annotations to Wu Song, this annotation is sorted out is the "Witch Code", which is uniformly burned on a large jade bi, that is, Jiuli Witch Code.
Later, the Wu tribe declined, the various ethnic groups were scattered, some moved south, some moved west, and in the process of migration, the original text of the witch song and the witch book was unfortunately lost. The Chiyou Monument and the Jiuli Witch Book are also missing.
The current Miao Jiang had no choice but to sort out the current witch book according to the legends of history.
Xiao Yao continued to look at the countless pictures and annotations, if the jade block he got was part of the Jiuli Witch Codex, then what secrets were hidden in this Jiuli Witch Book?
Otherwise, King Peng's Tusi would not have kept it so solemnly and secretly.
It's just that it seems that the Toast King didn't get a glimpse of the contents of this witch book, otherwise he wouldn't have just placed it in the secret compartment of the shrine.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao had a lot of thoughts in his heart, this Jiuli Witch Book can be said to be a sacred relic of the Wu clan and Miao Jiang, so since some of them appeared in the Tusi Wangfu in Xizhou, what about the other parts?
Moreover, why can you see the content of this Jiuli Witch Book on your own getaway?
Could it be that there is some kind of connection between the Getaway Exercise and the Jiuli Witch Codex?
But when you look at the name of this getaway, you know that it is a Taoist exercise, how can it be related to the ancient Wu clan?
Countless questions followed, and it was really unbelievable.
Phew~ Exhale a long breath. Since the more you think about the problem, the more you think about it, and none of them can figure it out, then don't think about it.
Putting away the jade block, the leisurely swim broke through the fifth layer, and Xiao Yao clearly felt that in his body, a warm current kept flowing in the meridians.
But this warm current is different from the true qi, no matter whether you have good luck or not, it runs back and forth according to the size of the week, just like the blood in the body. You can feel the running state of this warm current more clearly.
Xiao Yao's heart was happy, and he intuitively felt that this trip was fruitful.
Try the power of the fifth layer of the getaway, and suddenly there is a feeling of being in all directions.
His senses slowly spread out to the surroundings, constantly blending with the moonlight around him. At this time, the slight movement around, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the birds and insects can be heard clearly, and they can be seen very clearly.
As far as the eye can see, things a few feet away seem to be close at hand.
Originally, I just thought that getaway could improve the sensitivity of my senses, but now I found that even the range of my senses is increasing.
Xiao Yao got up, only to feel that his body was as light as a swallow, and with a slight vertical leap, he was more than three feet above the ground.
Another jump, gently landed on a large locust tree in front of the door of the village, unconsciously slid his palm in the air, and a trace of true qi like substance sprayed out from his fingers, and then condensed into a white line in the air.
No way! I was both surprised and delighted.
It seems that when he has cultivated to the fifth layer, his true qi can already be revealed.
Thinking of the many benefits of the appearance of true qi, Xiao Yao immediately realized that this was not the best time to practice the Poison Dragon Palm Technique?! In this way, you can test whether your previous conjecture can become a reality.
Immediately, he poured a little wine from the wine bag around his waist and sprinkled it in the air. After that, Xiao Yao began to try to constantly wrap the droplets of wine falling in the air with the true qi he released to verify his conjecture.
If the operation method of the Poison Dragon Palm Method is not cast, the True Qi will directly pass through the wine drops when it comes into contact with the drops.
The mystery of the operation method of the Poison Dragon Palm Method is that it can continuously compress and condense a large stream of true qi, and then gather and transform into various shapes to envelop the toxin. In this way, with one palm, the true qi is revealed, and it is wrapped in all kinds of Gu poison, and it is difficult not to be domineering!
The wine drops are much heavier than the toxins, but the reason is the same, as long as you continue to condense and compress the true qi in the way of the poisonous dragon palm method, you should definitely be able to wrap the wine droplets.
Then, my own theory may not be impossible to realize.
Xiao Yao began to keep trying on the tree, and after many attempts, he found that the wine drip was too difficult, and instead began to use the true qi he released to control the surrounding breeze to blow the leaves.
With a slow attempt, under the moonlight, the leaves moved without wind, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the surrounding air began to flow and rotate slowly with their true qi. Under his control, the air flow through the treetops and towards the canopy of the trees, and the sound of salsa sounded.
The more you practice, the more skilled you become, and the deeper your understanding becomes.
So that's it!
I have heard that someone can hurt people with flowers, and every flower and tree is a weapon, and the principle is exactly that! As the skill improves, the more true qi you have, the stronger your ability to manipulate physical objects.
Just like a fairy, with a gesture, he used his true qi to control the weapons flying in the air, and this alone made it difficult for mortals to reach.
At this time, it seems that although it is not possible to reach the level of taking the head of a person thousands of miles away, it is no longer out of reach to be able to pick flowers and leaves, and to be able to fight all the plants and trees.
