Chapter 9 The master's chastity and people's livelihood are suffering
Zhao Mingyuan thought about it for a while, and then decided to agree to Wei Zhenzhen's request and take her on the road.
Along the way, there is someone to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is secondary. The main reason is that leaving a beauty like Wei Zhenzhen alone in Jiangdu is afraid that it may not be safe.
After all, Yu Wenhua is now in Jiangdu, and there are even more people who are constantly searching for nearby beauties and sending them to Yang Guang's palace.
Therefore, if Zhao Mingyuan left with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. What if Wei Zhenzhen misses?
Compared to this, some of the troubles that may be caused by taking Wei Zhenzhen on the road are nothing.
After all, Wei Zhenzhen is a weak woman, and when she walks the rivers and lakes, she naturally has many inconveniences.
However, Zhao Mingyuan believes that with his martial arts, any trouble can be solved.
This time they went north, they did not choose to take a boat along the canal to the north.
Although the waterway is more convenient, faster and safer, Zhao Mingyuan finally decided to take the land route.
After all, although the destination of their trip was Luoyang, it was not just to go to Luoyang, but also to let Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling come out and have a long experience.
Traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, so as to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, this is the purpose of this trip.
As for Xiucai, if he doesn't go out, he knows the world, and it's just talking.
It's just that I've heard it and I know it, but how can it compare with what I've seen and experienced with my own eyes?
Therefore, this time to the north, Zhao Mingyuan and his entourage are preparing to travel slowly by land, and they can also enjoy the scenery along the way.
It's just that Wei Zhenzhen's body is weak, unlike the three of them who have martial arts, so they can't go all the way. I'm afraid that if I don't go far, Wei Zhenzhen will be seriously ill.
So, the four of them took a carriage on the road. Zhao Mingyuan and Wei Zhenzhen naturally sat in the spacious carriage, while Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were catching the train outside.
Of course, the journey was tiring, and Wei Zhenzhen's body was still too weak to withstand the bumps in the road at all.
After all, the roads of the Sui Dynasty were only paved with rammed earth, and after a few storms, they were no longer smooth, and the shock absorption effect of the carriage was even worse. Traveling far in this day and age has never been easy.
Zhao Mingyuan simply prepared to pass on a set of internal strength to Wei Zhenzhen to practice, it didn't need to be strong, as long as it could strengthen the body.
It's a pity that Wei Zhenzhen is already old, and it is difficult to gain anything from cultivating ordinary exercises.
And her qualifications are average, not like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, so she can't learn the secret of immortality at all.
There was no way, Zhao Mingyuan could only pass on the Northern Spiritual Skill to her, and then after Wei Zhenzhen laid a good foundation, Zhao Mingyuan simply directly injected a stream of true qi into her sea of qi.
It's the equivalent of a direct feed.
It's a pity that Wei Zhenzhen's physique is really average, and direct irrigation still needs to be gradual.
Zhao Mingyuan only entered some true qi into her little by little every once in a while, allowing her to slowly transform and purify into her own true qi.
However, with Wei Zhenzhen's cultivation, the transformation of true qi became faster and faster.
Not long after the trip, Wei Zhenzhen's accumulated true qi had already surpassed the cultivation results of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling for several months.
Of course, this all depends on Zhao Mingyuan's true qi indoctrination.
After all, in terms of true qi cultivation alone, Zhao Mingyuan can be regarded as the first in the world. Except for the Demon Emperor Xiang Tianyu, who didn't know if he was still alive, no one was his opponent in terms of True Qi.
What's more, Zhao Mingyuan's true anger is endless, so passing on some true qi to Wei Zhenzhen has no impact at all.
The only thing that restricts Wei Zhenzhen's strength is her meridians and the speed at which she transforms her true qi.
In fact, Wei Zhenzhen's true qi cultivation is already higher than Shi Long's true qi cultivation at the beginning.
Although her realm and moves are not worth mentioning at all, if she really fights, Wei Zhenzhen, the so-called master, can't even beat either Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
But this has already surprised Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
After all, the two of them thought they were martial arts geniuses, and they were also praised by Zhao Mingyuan many times. Unexpectedly, their achievements in a few months were caught up by Wei Zhenzhen in just a few days.
Although they knew that this was actually due to Zhao Mingyuan's superb methods. And the two also understand that Wei Zhenzhen, the so-called master, has a lot of water, and his real combat power is not worth mentioning.
However, this still calmed the two down a lot, and they were no longer complacent about the progress they had made.
After all, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's situation, he can even mass-produce a master like Wei Zhenzhen.
One or two they can still deal with, three or five of them will fall behind, ten or eight of them will have to flee in the wilderness.
As soon as they thought that within a few days, Zhao Mingyuan would be able to produce a master who could rival Shi Long's internal strength, and the two of them felt chills in their hearts.
As long as you practice some martial arts moves, such a master is definitely not weak, and ordinary masters can also pile up to death.
After all, the two of them knew that Zhao Mingyuan definitely did not lack martial arts cheats.
It's shocking.
Because this means that Zhao Mingyuan can rely on the Northern Spiritual Skill, in a very short period of time, it is easy to create many masters in batches.
Although it is a mass-produced type, this is already terrifying. After all, there are only so many masters in the entire rivers and lakes.
This is even more surprising than when the two of them heard Zhao Mingyuan describe the efficacy of this Northern Spiritual Skill.
At the beginning, when Zhao Mingyuan passed on the gong to Wei Zhenzhen, he said that this Northern Shengong was a Taoist exercise, although it was often mistaken for magic because of some effects.
But in fact, there are some flaws in this exercise, and once you absorb the power of others, it will be difficult to step into the top.
This is also because Wei Zhenzhen is indeed not qualified, and he is too old when he practices martial arts, so it is difficult to achieve any great achievements.
That's why Zhao Mingyuan directly instilled true qi in her.
Therefore, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling originally felt that there was nothing.
After all, there are so many disadvantages, and the ceiling is not high.
Unexpectedly, now that they see the actual effect, the two of them understand that Zhao Mingyuan is too modest.
Perhaps, the low ceiling in Zhao Mingyuan's mouth and the low ceiling in their opinion are not the same thing at all.
The two of them also understood, no wonder this martial art would be considered a magic skill.
This is still the case that Wei Zhenzhen did not absorb other people's martial arts indiscriminately, and even the two of them actually became jealous and unhappy.
If this martial arts are spread and can absorb other people's martial arts at will, wouldn't it be even more chaotic in the world?
It will definitely be united by everyone in the rivers and lakes and resist together. If we don't wipe out their free people, we will definitely not give up.
But now, now that Wei Zhenzhen has learned, there is no way.
I can only pay attention to it in the future, keep it secret, and don't disclose it. Of course, Wei Zhenzhen can't be allowed to absorb the true qi of others. I don't think it's going to be fine.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling could only comfort themselves in their hearts like this, and at the same time secretly cheered themselves up in their hearts.
As long as they become stronger and solve all the troubles, then Wei Zhenzhen naturally doesn't have to make a move.
As long as she doesn't make a move, others won't even know that she has superior martial arts, so naturally there will be no risk of accidents.
Although there are some drawbacks, the two are still happy that Wei Zhenzhen has the ability to protect herself.
The carriage went all the way to the north, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling accelerated their martial arts cultivation along the way, and the other side also continued to grow their knowledge.
Whenever they saw or thought of something strange, the two asked Zhao Mingyuan in the car.
Zhao Mingyuan naturally answered all questions and solved the doubts for his disciples.
Even sometimes, when they came to a scenic spot, Zhao Mingyuan had to take the initiative to explain it and tell them the stories that had happened here.
In this way, the group learned a lot of knowledge while walking, just like a tour group.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's martial arts knowledge is also growing. That's the benefit of traveling thousands of miles.
It's just that as they drove further and further north, the atmosphere of their tour group became worse and worse. The original relaxed and happy atmosphere of talking and laughing, and enjoying the mountains and rivers has gradually disappeared.
It's just that as they went, they saw that the people's lives were getting worse and worse.
Fortunately in the vicinity of Yangzhou, although the people only looked like they were wearing sackcloth, their faces were full of busy and tired colors. But at least, they were all able to eat.
The farther north they went, the worse the living conditions of the people became, and the more chaotic the order became.
The people along the way looked ragged, and the mountain bandits they encountered were more and more frequent.
And with the proximity to Luoyang, come to this Central Plains land. What they see is not the granary of the world described in the book, but a piece of barren land.
The land is fertile, but it is rarely cultivated. Occasionally, I see one or two women and children, but they are all yellow-skinned and vegetable-looking.
As for order, it has long since collapsed. They walked on the official road, and there were even people who openly blocked the road and robbed.
Even in some places, it is no longer a robbery, and it can no longer be said that it is a bandit, but a gang of outcasts. They even occupied the county seat, and openly exploited the merchants who came and went, and even robbed and killed people.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling naturally did a lot of work along the way. After all, their appearance and age are often preconceived as weak, and they have caused trouble many times.
It's just that they can't be ruthless, after all, most of them are just poor outcasts.
So, the two of them just knocked them to the ground, or restrained the acupuncture points, and then left in a hurry.
In fact, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling even took out dry food and silver to help them when they saw the homeless people at first. It's just that I didn't expect this to cause big trouble. This made them change their minds and stop showing their wealth.
The group of four continued to walk north with a heavy heart.
Until one day, they saw two corpses, one large and one small, lying dead on the side of the road. This is obviously a mother and son starving to death by the side of the road.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally couldn't help it and asked Zhao Mingyuan, "Master, what should we do?" ”
