Zhang Lu had a sense of frustration that he had been completely abandoned. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Pei Xuanren ascended to the immortal, he has been cultivating on Zhongding alone for more than three years, during which not to mention that Pei Xuanren did not return to the mountain, and even Zhang Jian was nowhere to be found. They seem to have forgotten the task they had given to Zhang Lu at all, and it is very likely that they may even have forgotten about Zhang Lu as a disciple.

So Zhang Lu has been carrying a task that seems to be the main line, but he can't find an NPC to deliver, not only can't he get experience and reward, but he can't even advance the plot...... He can only practice with the mountains alone.

The level is not enough, the main line is not open, is there still such a mentally retarded RPG now?Well, considering that I have crossed over, video games are far from being born, and it is reasonable that God is rigid and mentally retarded in these years...... Although God is a false finger and God is real, Zhang Lu will inevitably be angry with Liu Lei because of this, and his bad feelings towards the broken settlement are getting worse day by day.

He began to suspect that the so-called search for Yu Ji and the source of the proverb was just an excuse, in order to spend himself before and after Pei Xuanren ascended to immortal...... But no matter what reason there is for this, if this is the case, it is enough for Zhang Jian to toss himself, and there is no need to summon Bai Que'er and Bujue. Could it be that the heavens can already be sure that it will not be himself who will be able to shoulder the heavy task of exterminating the evil in the future, but the two "white sparrows" or someone else he doesn't know?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration - who said that the traverser was born with the character of the protagonist? and not writing a novel...... If you really dare to write a novel like that, you must be scolded to death by readers!

However, even if Zhang Lu was not the body of the Mandate of Heaven, there was no guarantee that Zhen would not invade again from now on, so he did not dare to give up the way of cultivating immortals lightly. Besides, it is boring to meditate and guide all day, but fortunately, he has entered the stage of refining the truth, and he can start to practice magic powers, relatively speaking, it is still more interesting - theoretically speaking, it is much more interesting than practicing martial arts, arching and horse arts, or reading military books behind closed doors, so that it is convenient to go down the mountain and fight for hegemony.

However, Zhang Lu found that his talent may also lie in the use of information, he should learn prophecy from Zhang Jujun, learn illusion from Yu Ji, or try to control the confusion department, Pei Xuanren majored in the change system, his understanding ability is limited, and the learning speed is not fast - plus the lack of teacher hand-in-hand guidance. Fortunately, Pei Xuanren has a lot of books, including a lot of prophecy and confusion control spells, or Pei Xuanren was afraid that he would be too distracted and was not allowed to read, or the realm was not enough, and Zhang Lu couldn't read it if he wanted to. Now that he has a solid foundation and no one to supervise him, and all those books have been passed to him, he can safely and boldly waste more time and energy on those extracurricular reading materials.

Three full years have passed, Zhang Lu can't wait for Pei Xuanren and Zhang Jian to appear, he is depressed and dazed, and finally can't sit still anymore, and plans to go down the mountain to take a look. Although I know that the threat may still exist, and it is much more dangerous to go down the mountain than to stay on the mountain, I am tired of the same life, and one day I will overpower the greed for life and fear of death.

In the past three years, Zhang Lu has almost never seen anyone, and he feels that if he stays in the mountains any longer, he may have to get moldy...... When Pei Xuanren was still there, he would occasionally leave Jingmuro Mountain and go to nearby villages and towns to collect some daily necessities - mainly linen cloth, which was used to make clothes for Zhang Lu, as well as salt. But since he left, he left all the old clothes to Zhang Lu, and there was no cold or heat on Zhongding, which was enough to replace in three years. Life in the world, but the word food and clothing, since the wear has been solved, in terms of eating, Zhang Lu with the profundity of the Tao, the demand for food is decreasing, there are wells and springs in the mountains, fruits can be picked on the trees, rabbits and sparrows in the grass, Pei Xuanren also left a lot of coarse salt, which is quite enough for him to enjoy. There is no need to go down.

In fact, in the past three years, Zhang Lu has not always stayed on Zhongding, he has not been one step away from the sea of clouds, and he has also gone down the mountain a few times, but because of the footsteps, it is impossible for Pei Xuanren to go so far. The nearby villages had already been burned by soldiers, leaving behind a few burned ruins, and Zhang Lu couldn't find someone to talk to to quench his thirst.

Zhang Lu once thought that Zhang Jian's house was really wrong, the otaku and the Dharma facing the wall are two concepts after all, and he should have stuffed himself to be a traveler under Yujimen, instead of following Pei Xuanren as a "sitting" soldier.

Suddenly, three years passed, he couldn't hold it back, and said in his heart that I wouldn't go down the mountain to take a long trip to relieve the boredom in my heart. Maybe I can also take this opportunity to take a good look at this chaotic world and replan my life--do I want to continue to cultivate immortals? How is my current ability better than that of Zhang Jiao back then? Is it enough to pull the flag and compete for hegemony?

The mortal world is not only a chaotic world, but the threat is likely to be there, Zhang Lu did not dare to rush down the mountain unprepared. In the past three years, he has spent most of his time cultivating supernatural powers and Taoism, and he feels that even if he encounters a body like Sun Xiang and Yan Baihu again, he has no fear, even if he is attached to Xu Huang and Sun Ce, he has a way to get out. It's a pity that the art of alchemy is still sealed, and it can't be read or studied, and the golden silk treasure armor and the dark iron heavy sword are just distant dreams like floating clouds......

But he had already learned the art of calligraphy, so he concentrated for a few days before going down the mountain, and wrote a thick stack of various talismans to carry with him, in case of emergency—his realm was not stable enough, and his supernatural powers were not skilled enough, if he really encountered danger, he was afraid that he would not achieve a 100% success rate in a hurry, and his power might be greatly reduced, so it was safer to have a talisman at hand.

These talismans are naturally not the three that Pei Xuanren gave back then, they are based on the bark of the tree and written in yellow clay - that is really embarrassing, and it is not convenient to carry a thick stack of bark, right? So Zhang Lu began to try to make his own paper at the beginning of learning to write talismans.

The talisman of this year is different from later generations, because paper is rarely used, so it is probably made of bamboo and wood, especially peach wood, which is said to have the best effect, but it is a pity that bamboo and wood are not convenient to carry - Pei Xuanren switched to bark, which is actually a kind of progress. Zhang Lu tried to make his own paper, first steaming and soaking the worn linen, tree bark, vines and the like for a long time, and then pounding them into a paste. There are a lot of bamboos on the mountain, and he cut the bamboo silk and weave it into a mat, which is used to get pulp and finally exposed to the sun.

Of course, the papermaking process is very complicated, and even if he understands the principle, it is not so easy to succeed in the experiment by relying on the efforts of one person. Fortunately, Earl Zhang is not an extraordinary person, he already has a good foundation for cultivating immortals, and what the master is good at is the transformation of spells, using the power of spells, directly turning raw materials into paper is of course nonsense, partially changing the texture of raw materials, and chopping the fibers as much as possible, he can still do it. So after trial and error, the result of barely breaking through the psychological bottom line was finally achieved.

The paper fiber is thick and yellow, just like the butt wiping straw paper I saw in the countryside when I was a child. This kind of paper also has a big flaw, that is, the thickness is uneven, so it is difficult to make a large sheet, and it is generally the size of a palm and is barely usable - it is used for calligraphy, and it is not a long story, and it does not need to be too large.

As for the paint of the calligraphy, of course he will not use yellow mud water, under normal circumstances, he should use cinnabar, and if he can't find cinnabar, he simply uses the blood of sparrows and rabbits instead-anyway, Zhang Lu doesn't eat blood, and he usually cooks or roasts poultry and livestock, and he must be cleaned first.

In this way, a thick stack of talismans was written—seventy percent of them were of the illusion system, and only thirty percent of them belonged to the change system of the master—and they were in their arms, and their hearts were settled. The first stop is to go to Yangcheng, and first visit the Yuan Festival.

I came down to the mountain, but when I saw the lush vegetation and similar to the top of the mountain, I realized that it was already early autumn when I dared to love. It was not easy to find a pedestrian and ask about the general trend of the world, but the other party was just an ordinary tenant farmer, and he was completely confused without leaving the countryside. The other party replied, "Xingping is three years, and July is hopeful." ”

In fact, this answer is wrong, Zhang Lu was completely misled. Just a year ago in this month, Li Dao and Guo Yan fought, and the surrounding area of Chang'an was almost burned to the ground, and the emperor Liu Xie got the opportunity to win over Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others, and escorted the car back to the old capital, but then was chased and killed by Li and Guo, and was forced to cross the Yellow River north and fled to Anyi. In the spring of this year, the emperor issued an edict in Anyi, changing the yuan to "Jian'an", in order to make the world peaceful - so it should be the first year of Jian'an, and there will be no three years of peace at all.

Zhang Lu's plan was to go to Yangcheng to find Xuan Jian first, and then go south, from Yingchuan to Nanjun via Nanyang, climb Sui Mountain to visit Ruan Qiu and Bujue master and apprentice, and the third step was to continue south, to Jiuyi to see Du Lanxiang and Bai Qi'er. God is pitiful, there are only so many acquaintances he can inquire about - in fact, he wants to see Zuo Ci again the most, and let him give him a few more tricks to "Lingtai Mirage", but it is a pity that the whereabouts of Master Yu Ji and his apprentices are uncertain, and with the size of the world, the probability of wanting to meet is outrageously low......

Zhang Lu's footsteps are now much faster than the last time he went down the mountain, although he can't "shrink the ground" technique, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles in a day, but he will already catch up with the galloping speed of ordinary horses, five or six hundred miles a day and night. So he went down Jingmuro Mountain, and just one day later, he entered the territory of Henan.

The towns and checkpoints in Henan are even more dilapidated than three years ago, and there are very few pedestrians on the road, and Yique, Dagu and other passes are almost abandoned together - I think that Niu Fu was killed when he ran away, Li Dao and Guo Yan returned to Guanzhong to seize power, and then summoned Zhu Jun to the court with the order of the Son of Heaven, and the old man Zhu was also dizzy, and he really threw down his soldiers and horses, and ran to Chang'an to see the driver...... In the end, he was angry to death when Li and Guo were fighting. Therefore, Henan has neither the Guanxi Army nor the Zhu Family's Army, and it is directly set as a blank land in many SLG games in later generations, which is more in line with historical facts.

However, after passing the Dagu Pass, the situation began to be a little wrong, and Zhang Lu often saw a small group of soldiers and horses roaring past from a distance. Most of these soldiers were poorly armoured, poorly armed, and all of them were hungry, and if they weren't still flying the banner, he would have mistaken them for bandits and grass coars—where did they come from?

He didn't want to be troubled, but when he saw a soldier coming from a distance, he took a detour to avoid it, but he was accidentally stopped by a team. Zhang Lu saw that there were only about 100 people on the other side, the queue was scattered, the people were hungry and thin, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but just avoided the side of the road - he just happened to have newly practiced magic powers, and he still lacked the opportunity to actually use it, and he didn't know whether it was good or not...... If you dare to come here, Lao Tzu will practice with you!

Those soldiers didn't pay attention to him at first, and were about to pass by, but Zhang Lu's ears were sharp, but he heard one of them say "huh" softly, and then the hundred or so people surrounded him left and right. Zhang Lu didn't raise his head, and secretly sneered in his heart. But the soldiers were half an arrow away from him, but they no longer stepped forward, but held their swords and spears at a distance, and acted as a state of vigilance. Zhang Luxin said that if you want to go up, what are you going to do in a circle like a great enemy?

I don't know which team is on the other side, and I haven't seen their bad deeds, Zhang Lu still has a moral bottom line, and it's not good to be the first to do it. I was thinking about waiting a little longer, and if you don't leave, Lao Tzu will speed up and rush over—can you still stop me? Suddenly I heard a voice from the other side: "Where is the gentleman, where do you want to go?"

Zhang Lu didn't need to make up nonsense, so he replied honestly: "I came from the studio and wanted to visit friends in Yangcheng." The other side paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Please stay longer, sir, the prince will come to meet you." ”

Zhang Lu couldn't help frowning-"Marquis? Who are you talking about? Do I know any marquis?" "Think about the big names in this world I have seen, just Yuan Shu and Cao ****, Yuan Shu must still be nesting in a corner of Huainan, sitting and waiting for death, can it be said that Cao Cao has entered Henan? With Cao Cao's identity and status, it is not strange to have a marquis?

The so-called "prince and marquis" originally referred to those who worshiped the marquis, for example, it is recorded in the "Historical Records of the Marquis Zhou Bo Family" that Zhou Yafu was arrested and imprisoned, and Tingwei asked him: "The prince wants to rebel?" Because Zhou Yafu was sealed as a marquis, and he was once the prime minister, so he can be so honorific. However, this title gradually depreciated, and in this year, as long as you get the marquis, whether it is the marquis of Guannei or the marquis of the pavilion or the township marquis, you can call it "the marquis".

Zhang Lu was curious, so he waited patiently. He originally guessed that this "prince" was Cao Cao nine times out of ten, and that guy used to be very good to me, so he just took the opportunity to disturb him for another meal or two, so as to satisfy his appetite. But it didn't work out, and after a short time, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately a general shouted from afar: "Isn't it outside the Xiyi Pass, who fights in the forest?"
