Chapter 9 Zhongnan Mountain

Of course, you can't cut it, but it's okay to practice, what if Li is a martial arts genius who is unique?

With the idea of losing a rod if there is a fish or a fish, Li Hao ran his Qi according to the method of condensing true qi in the treasure book, and then he was forced to stop within two weeks, and looked at himself embarrassedly with a raised robe:

"Okay! It seems that I am indeed not a martial arts wizard in this area. ”

The core martial arts of the Sunflower Treasure Book is to induce people's yang fire to advance cultivation, but the excess of yang fire naturally disrupts the operation of true qi. This Li Hao was clear, but the Sunflower Treasure Book did make him very interested in the martial arts and internal skills of this world.

Zhongnan Mountain is near Xi'an Mansion, and it is estimated that there is nothing left of the ruins of the Quanzhen Sect, but the Ancient Tomb Sect can still be explored.

There were still young descendants of the Tomb Sect during the Yitian period, and the Tomb Sect should have existed at least until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. If you can find martial arts such as the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending, you will naturally earn blood, and it is not bad to have Quanzhen and Jade Girl's Heart Method.

Just do it, Li Hao packed his luggage that night and dismantled all the traps carefully arranged in the small courtyard. It's a good thing that these traps are not used, but it's a pity that Li Hao's special itchy powder can't be recovered, and it's a bit wasted.

Early the next morning, it was slightly bright, and he carried the package on his back as when he came, and went to Zhongnanshan.

......

Xi'an Mansion is not far from Zhongnan Mountain, but after walking for half a day, Li Hao has entered the Zhongnan Mountain Range.

I bought a simple map from the village at the foot of the mountain in 40 Wen, and following the map, Li Hao found a Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain to stay.

said that it was a Taoist temple, but it was actually larger than the small courtyard where Li Hao lived in the city before. In the middle of the room hung the statue of the old man of Sanqing and an incense burner, one side lived a Taoist priest and his apprentice, and the other side was reserved for people like Li Hao who entered the mountain to borrow.

In the evening, the Taoist priest and apprentice drank the vegetable soup cooked by the Taoist priest with Li Hao.

Li Hao asked curiously:

"Are there a lot of people going into the mountains? Why do you have to set aside a room for people to borrow? ”

The Taoist priest blew on the hot vegetable soup and took a sip:

"It's salty, in vain! Go and get a cake for the guest. He then added:

"The hunters in a few villages below the mountain occasionally hunt and come back late to repair, and some hermits on the mountain also settle here every once or two when they go down the mountain to buy groceries, grain and oil.

In addition, there were some Huashan disciples on the mountain of the Quanzhen Sect in the past, but there was another way out of the mountain on their side, and it was only occasionally that they went to my side. ”

"As the old saying goes: there are many hermits in the south. But how could a Huashan disciple be in Zhongnan Mountain? Li Hao was a little surprised, wondering if it would have an impact on his search for the ancient tomb.

"Listen to your accent, you're not a native of Xi'an, are you?"

"Not really." Li Hao's accent has been adjusted very carefully, but it is still different from Qindi's accent, not to mention that there is nothing to hide.

The Taoist priest went on to say:

"No wonder! Do you know that the Huashan faction is a top and one gate faction in the rivers and lakes? ”

"Although I am not from the rivers and lakes, I have heard of the name of the Huashan faction."

The Taoist priest said:

"This Huashan sect is so prosperous and prosperous, it naturally has some revenue to feed the disciples, and those disciples are planting and collecting medicine on the mountain, and by the way, they collect rents from the two counties near Lantian and Zhouzhi."

Li Hao didn't understand it again:

"Growing medicine is a common thing, but collecting rent? What kind of rent is charged? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" The Taoist priest just laughed like this, and laughed for a while before saying:

"Nearly half of the acres of land in Lantian and Zhouzhi counties are owned by Huashan, and other fields in these two counties that are not owned by Huashan are also in a hurry to pay a rent to Huashan!

That's it, how many of the 37 counties in the six states of Xi'an Prefecture can't pay it back! ”

Seeing that Li Hao was still a little puzzled, the Taoist priest said:

"Childe, do you know how much ordinary county tyrants have to rent out a piece of land?

Draw 5 into that is a living Bodhisattva, a lot of them are 60% or even 70%! I also have to pay all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and servitude, and the normal year is fine, but when there is a drought and flood year, I have to sell my sons and daughters to eat tree bark.

The Huashan faction only collects 30% and a half of the rent, and if a child is selected to worship in the middle school, the rent will be waived for five years immediately. In the event of natural and man-made disasters, you can also pay less rent as appropriate, and you don't need to make up for it later.

If there are big insects and jackals, the disciples of the Huashan Society will naturally get rid of them; In the face of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, unjust, false and wrongful cases, Huashan disciples will act chivalrous and righteous.

You say that such a landlord, who else is there in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region?

Court? What is the use of the imperial court other than being able to come up with various reasons to raise taxes?

The first thing the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture did was to go to Huayin to go to Huashan to worship the door, Huashan didn't speak, he couldn't even pay taxes! ”

Li Hao understood:

This is a worse world, in comparison, the exploitation of ordinary people by the Huashan party is not so harsh, so that they can at least barely make a living, and they have been praised by the people.

What a fucking world.

......

The Taoist priest's knowledge is not bad and he has a lot of knowledge, and Li Hao chatted with him until the end of the day.

Lying in the cramped hut, Li Hao stared at the leaky hole in the roof, without a trace of sleep. Everything the Taoist priest said today made most of his excitement when he first arrived in the other world and his good impression of the martial arts world.

It is now the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, and the feudal dynasty that has passed half of its life is also drifting through wind and rain, but at least it still maintains its glamorous appearance and has a lifespan of nearly 100 years.

But in this timeline, in this timeline where there are martial arts and were changed by the Dao Biao a hundred years ago, this feudal dynasty is more seriously ill. The reason for this is due to the increase in personal force value.

In the era of congenital extinction, it is difficult to influence the situation with personal force at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and sixty or seventy armored soldiers with bows and crossbows are enough to surround and kill. Even if it is like the martial arts master Shaolin, there are many masters, more than 1,000 disciples, and 3,000 elites are enough to destroy the temple. Warriors are good at individual combat and not through the formation, the more people there are, the more chaotic they are, and the less room to play.

Therefore, the influence of the rivers and lakes on the entire dynasty is very limited, and it is difficult to determine the direction of history. But the huge changes brought about by the Sunflower Treasure Book have made the innate masters appear in batches, which is a complete bad thing!

Innate masters can already preliminarily use the aura of heaven and earth, and there is a qualitative gap with the peak of the day after tomorrow in all aspects. The specific manifestation is that the innate realm is no longer afraid of the siege of ordinary people, as long as there is no master of the same level to contain it, and it is not besieged in a narrow place, it is difficult for the army to leave their lives.

Moreover, the warriors of the sunflower system have a significant feature of 'fast', which makes the innate difficulty of encircling and killing even more.

With a sharp blade in hand, the murderous intent arises. There is a saying that 'the truth is only within the caliber', and it is obvious that the innate people have lost their own caliber, but they have gained a great threat in force.

I can kill your prefect and county commander, and even the emperor's relatives, you can't do anything about me! Then I'm still afraid of your power? I have more 'fists' than you, fists are rights!

Therefore, from the late Yongle period to the present, the deterrent power of the imperial court has been eroded step by step by the martial arts faction represented by the Shaolin Wudang Huashan Sun and Moon, and the interests and rights that originally belonged to the officials and landlord classes have been continuously seized by them.

Li Hao turned over and slowly fell asleep, the last thing he thought before losing consciousness was:

'I think this Ming is coming to an end!

That is, it's a pity for the old man who sells wine, the shopkeeper, the Taoist priest and hundreds of people. ’
