After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved the capital to Luoyang, because the time was too long, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Dou was set to be secret, and no one knew about it now. The environment here is dark, far away from the center of the palace, Sima Yi actually locked Liu Xie in here without knowing it, and Liu Xie entered the secret pavilion by mistake, becoming the second person in hundreds of years besides Liu Che to know the secret.

The secret pavilion has collected and recorded the deeds of many legendary pulse masters, as well as many magical exercises, but many of them are incomplete, and Liu Che unlocked the secrets of the pulse master in these broken exercises and fragments.

Liu Xie read books hungrily, and had the biggest expectation in his heart: if he could find a way to quickly upgrade from books, and promote his cultivation to the eighth rank or even become an eighth-rank pulse master, it would be easy to escape from the palace at that time.

However, it backfired, and after reading all the books, he realized that many of the knowledge recorded in the books was now only some basic common sense. It may have been shocking before the appearance of Master Yu, but now it can't be simpler.

Some esoteric exercises are only fragments or excerpts, or they are not mature at all, and they may have a great enlightening effect on Liu Che, but when it comes to cultivation, there is no way to talk about it.

For example, there is a bamboo slip about the reign of Qin Shi Huang, which records how Ying Zheng was inspired by Xu Fu to create the secret art of the first emperor. After cultivating, you can increase your cultivation in a short period of time, but you will eventually die suddenly because the theory is not mature. A part of the exercises is attached to the end of the bamboo slip.

Can this kind of exercise be cultivated? Not to mention Liu Che, even Liu Xie knows that it is very unreliable.

Another example is an ancient "Tao Te Ching", which is different from the popular version in the world, and has a lot of practice methods mixed in many sentences. However, on the first page of the book, there are a few eye-catching big characters: this skill is for reference only, it has been verified, there are many errors and omissions, and it is harmful and useless to practice.

Signed Liu Che.

The cheats that these collectors had painstakingly collected might have a lot of enlightenment for a high-level pulse master, but they were worthless to Liu Xie.

He became disheartened and decided to leave the Vault.

The moment he stepped out of the room, he was stunned again. I noticed that there were rows of small characters written on the walls on both sides of the corridor. He was so excited when he came in that he ignored it.

The small print is written a little high, which should be due to the tall figure of the person who wrote. Leaning on the faint light, Liu Xie squinted his eyes with his feet high.

The first row on the left reads: The Son of Heaven's Heart Method. Looking down, it is obviously the practice method of the Son of Heaven's mental method, which is about a thousand words. The payment is Liu Che.

The handwriting is sloppy, large and small, and there are many places where it has been altered. Liu Che's name is written even more like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and it can be seen that Liu Che is very proud when he writes.

When he saw the Son of Heaven's Mental Method, Liu Xie's heart trembled, it turned out to be the "Son of Heaven's Mental Method"!

Hurriedly looked at the Yongdao on the right, the first row was written with the sword technique of the Son of Heaven, and the final payment was still Liu Che.

Liu Xie didn't officially start practicing, he didn't know much about swordsmanship, and he probably couldn't see why, so he just hurriedly glanced at it and then stood up again, frowning and meditating.

The Son of Heaven Heart Method and the Sword Method of the Son of Heaven were created by Liu Che, which has the magic of penetrating the heavens and the earth, and has been inherited by word of mouth through the Son of Heaven through generations. There is also a special feature, it must be a person who is a disciple of the Liu family to learn the character of the Son of Heaven.

When it was passed to the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Ping, he was only a nine-year-old child, and Wang Mang's dictatorship at that time was broken.

After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was not much left of the Son of Heaven's mental method, and the Son of Heaven's swordsmanship was completely lost, obviously not as the inheritance of the royal family.

It is a pity that Xuanyang Shengong has great drawbacks, which will cause short life, and many emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the past dynasties have forcibly cultivated, and most of them die from this cause. If Shi Xin and Liu Xie's father, Liu Hong, hadn't been assisted by Xuanyin Divine Skill, he would have almost died here.

Liu Bei was after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, when the Son of Heaven's mental method was first created, that is, when Liu Che gathered five hundred elites to gather in Weiyang Palace, he also deduced with his brother Liu Sheng. Therefore, Liu Sheng also learned a little. Later, Liu Sheng supplemented this small part of the Son of Heaven's mental method as another mental method as a family inheritance, which was passed on to Liu Bei and Liu Chan's generation. But they are not the Son of Heaven's destiny, and their power is not the same as the original Son of Heaven's mental method.

Liu Xie didn't know the twists and turns, he only inherited a small part of the Son of Heaven's mental method passed down from Liu Xiu, and he didn't start cultivating for various reasons.

Although Liu Xie occasionally obtained the Son of Heaven's mental method, he did not dare to cultivate. His starting point is too low, and he is afraid that he will be discovered by Sima Yi before he has completed his cultivation, and he may not be able to coerce him to tell the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven's mental method.

This is the most important exercise of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty, and he must not be allowed to learn it.

In the next few days, Liu Xie entered the Yongdao several times, remembering the Son of Heaven's mental method and the Son of Heaven's sword technique, and did not give up until it was foolproof.

On this day a few months later, Zhang Daoling happened to arrive. Liu Xie grasped this last straw and pinned his hopes on the old man he had never met outside.

"After thinking about it, I cringed and flinched, which is contrary to the Taoist "do nothing, go with the flow", when did I Zhang Daoling become such a mother-in-law? Where did the sharp spirit of my youth go?"

Zhang Daoling was suddenly shocked and finally made up his mind.

Gently opened the door, the thick chain on Liu Xie's body was crushed by him like tofu, and he called softly, "Let's go!"

I don't dislike him for being dirty, and he walks away with his back. After almost two years of inhuman torture, Liu Xie's weight could not be lighter. Although his height is about the same as Shi Xin, his body and limbs are as slender as firewood, Zhang Daoling is like carrying a dried corpse on his back, and his mood is getting heavier and heavier.

"Thank you...... Thank you, seniors. "Every day

Liu Xie crouched behind Zhang Daoling, thinking that he was about to escape, the bitterness and pain of the past years came to his heart, and he couldn't help himself anymore, so he cried with a whimper.

"With me, you will never be in danger again, take a good rest!"

Zhang Daoling sighed, identified the direction, and walked quickly. This time he no longer needed to walk in hiding, his body was as fast as lightning, but light and unmatched, and he left the palace in less than a moment, and swept out of the city like a ghost.

Listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Liu Xie knew that he was getting closer and closer to safety, and his hanging heart gradually relaxed, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and he couldn't stand it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

Liu Xie has been in a high degree of tension for a long time, like a frightened bird. Over the years, a habit has been formed that you will wake up when you fall asleep.

When he awoke, there was silence around him, and the scent of leaves and earth came first from his nose, and then the strong sour smell of himself.

Is this the taste of freedom?

Liu Xie took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and found himself lying in a forest. Not far away, the old Taoist priest stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the dense woods above, not knowing what he was thinking.

The slight noise attracted Zhang Daoling's attention, and when he turned around, he found that Liu Xie was staring at him.

"I'm Zhang Daoling!"

Zhang Daoling reported to his home and walked over slowly, the emperor was no different from a commoner in front of him, and his attitude towards Liu Xie was no different from that of ordinary people.

Liu Xie naturally didn't have any emperor's shelf, got up and knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Zhang Daoling: "Thank you for the grace of Xianweng for saving your life, the villain will always remember!"

"Get up!" Zhang Daoling helped him up, "What is the emperor's plan next?"

"Intended?"

Zhang Daoling's words made Liu Xie speechless. What can he do? Or is Chang'an already in chaos now? Paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later the news will spread throughout the country.

With his modest ability, where can he go? Can he live in seclusion? He doesn't have that strength. Dependent on other princes?

Seeing Liu Xie's confused face, Zhang Daoling tried to suggest: "Why don't you consider Shi Hou?" He is your elder brother, and now he has five states in hand, and his prestige is like that of Japan, and the two brothers work together to create glory in the troubled times and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Xie's heart moved, he has achieved such an achievement in just two years, my brother is really not simple!

Shi Xin's confident face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly smiled bitterly: "In the face of Sima Yi, I'm afraid that my brother will not be able to protect himself, right?"

He didn't know what was going on in the outside world, but what Zhang Daoling said should be true, and he didn't doubt it. It's just that when I think of the battle between Shi Xin and Sima Yi outside Chang'an City, I always feel that Shi Xin's strength is one level lower than him. Once he took refuge in Shi Xin, maybe Sima Yi would have an excuse to go to war.

It's not that I'm worried about Shi Xin, it's just that once Shi Xin loses, he may sell himself again. Although he had pinned his hopes on Shi Xin, once he had a choice, he began to doubt it again.

Zhang Daoling thought about it, and nodded as well: "Not bad...... If Shi Xin can't do it, Cao Cao estimates that it will be difficult. Oh, that's not going to work......"

He rescued Liu Xie out of humanity, and he didn't think about how to deal with it after being rescued, and it was only after Liu Xie said that he realized the seriousness of the matter.

For Liu Xie, the safest thing to do is to follow Zhang Daoling and hide. At that time, cultivate the Son of Heaven's Heart Method and the Son of Heaven's Sword Technique, and then rely on the emperor's prestige to recruit troops, or you can regain your strength.

The most important thing is Zhang Daoling's strength, not only can he keep himself safe, but if he gets his guidance, he will benefit for life.

But Liu Xie would not take the initiative to plead, because he could see that Zhang Daoling didn't want to cause this trouble, and for the sake of now, he had to continue to sell miserably.

Respectfully left Zhang Daoling for a distance, and sighed: "The younger generation is very filthy, so it's better to stay away from the immortals." By the way, the fairy knows that there is a pool nearby, and the junior plans to take a bath, but he hasn't cleaned it for two years. ”

Zhang Daoling nodded: "Come with me!"

Lead Liu Xie to a small stream, the water is clear, winding down from west to east, I don't know where it comes from and where it leads.

"Immortal, where is this?"

Liu Xie asked as he began to undress, this was a good opportunity to sell miserably.

"This place is located in the Qinling Mountains, and there is a narrow passage not far away, which is the treacherous Meridian Valley. The creek in front of it leads to the cliff and eventually flows into the Meridian Valley. ”

Zhang Daoling took a few steps up, picked up a small sip of stream water and drank it.
