Volume 1 The World Chapter 22 Only when you set off did you know that the mountains were high and the road was long

Hearing Han Chi calling himself, the Songzi Daoist came back to his senses, and saw that the two of them were standing in the forest, and they didn't know how long it had been.

Songzi Dao Chang rubbed his eyes rarely, and then said, "People will think more when they are old, just now you said that you set a small goal first, and enter the realm of knowing fate, but I don't think it's enough, how can I go beyond the hole and enter the heavenly hub, what do you think?"

Han Chi saw that Songzi Dao was fine, but he was relieved, so he deliberately frowned and said, "This difficulty is a bit big, I'll try my best!"

Matsuko Michichi laughed, very happy.

Although Han Chi didn't know why his cold joke was so funny, he still waited for Songzi Daoist to finish laughing, and then continued to ask, "Dao Chief, you just said about the Middle Three Realms, what about the Upper Three Realms, what are the secret things?"

The chief of the pine nut road spread his hands and said, "Then I don't know!"

Han Chi didn't expect this to be the answer, so he shouted "Ah?"

The chief of Songzi Dao knocked on his head again, and then said, "The highest realm of this view is only a void, how can you know that the matter of crossing two major realms is the matter of the three realms, and it is also the matter of many people who have consulted to figure it out."

The two continued to walk forward, but Songzi Daoist suddenly said, "If one day, if you really enter the upper three realms, you must tell me what the scenery of the upper three realms is like!"

Han Chi nodded heavily, but he didn't say anything witty, because this was not a joke, it was the expectation of a cultivator, who expected to see the highest scenery, even if he couldn't see it, he wanted to hear it.

Songzi and Han Chi quickly returned to the county, and then they had another good meal in the county, then they took the horse, and then embarked on the return journey, but it took seven days to come, but there was no need to be in such a hurry to go back, as long as they did not miss Lao Zhang's conferral ceremony.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, but Han Chi didn't think of the originally calculated time, and even left some surplus, so he couldn't catch up with the sudden change.

On the way back, Songzi Daochang and Han Chi only learned that something happened in Dingzhou.

This matter is not unrelated to Han Chi, when Han Chi and Lao Zhang went south from Yongzhou to protect the legal body of Deng Lao Daochang, but they encountered a rebellion in a mansion, in fact, Han Zhang and Zhang did not do anything big at that time, it is the most peaceful Shenzong Dynasty of this dynasty, it is said that there have been at least thirteen civil unrests in the twenty-seventh year, but the scale is not large.

At that time, Han and Zhang also thought that it was just a result of the exploitation of individual officials, in this rich land in the south, and the government had sent troops to suppress it early, it would be good if these bandits could survive for half a year. You can't imagine how the common people with wooden sticks and uncovered clothes can compete with the soldiers in armor, not counting the differences in military formation, courage, and logistics, but the level of organization of the two sides is very different, and what is the difference between this and touching a stone with an egg.

It's just that I didn't expect that at the beginning, the villagers of just a few villages couldn't survive, and fled to the mountains to become mountain bandits, often haunting and plundering the surrounding areas, but after the imperial court sent a large army, not only did it not quickly perish, but it turned into a bandit, and the bandits crossed the border and coerced the poor, and finally on the side of the army, they actually became a force of small homeless bandits.

Throughout the ages, the displaced people may be one of the most terrible cholera, and its terrible thing is that wherever the displaced people go, they will loot this place, and the people who have lost all of them will be coerced at this time, and they can only fight with the displaced people for their livelihood and life, so that they will become new displaced people. Therefore, the horror of the plague of displaced people is that it is contagious, not only will it bring extraordinary destructive power to the place, but it will also become bigger and bigger, like a snowball.

In fact, the rebellion of the displaced people is indeed very strong, because it can expand in a very short period of time to an extraordinary scale, and it is not difficult to deal with it if it is weak, that is, if the imperial court can deal with it in a timely manner, suppress and appease it, and block the way of the displaced people, it will be very easy to resolve, but the most important thing is not that the soldiers and horses are strong, but that the court must have food.

And the sad thing is that most of the years of the exiles are disasters, and the disasters are easy to leave the people, but it is a difficult evil circle! At that time, the imperial court had no surplus food, so it could only be killed, but how could it be killed, and the killing was absolutely extensive? That is, if one head was pressed, the other one appeared, and in this way, the last trace of capital and popular prestige of the imperial court was consumed, and even if the displaced people were solved, I am afraid that they would have to wait for the change of dynasty and recasting.

However, at this time, it was different, Dingzhou has rarely encountered disaster years in recent years, how could there be no food? The army of the imperial court was not an ornament, but for some reason it still developed to such a point.

The Songzi Daoist took Han Chi to hide in the nearby city in time, but he didn't dare to be wrapped up in the ranks of the homeless people, and among the thousands of people, the Songzi Daoist was not enough to see the subtle monk.

I first found an inn in the city to settle down, and the Songzi Daoist left Han Chi to rest in the inn, and he went out alone to inquire about the news, but after half a day, the Songzi Daoist returned, and the news he brought back was mixed.

The bad news is that this civil unrest is unusual, but there are demons from the Da Luo Fa Sect in tandem, and there are even local powerful subordinates, so the combat power of this group of rebels is not comparable to the ordinary rebels, but this group of people has hidden their strength from the beginning, and after the imperial army is light, it is the Chinese army that attacked the large army at night under the guise of the labor army, which disrupted the court's response steps.

The good news is that although the army of the imperial court was attacked by the night of the Chinese army camp, the loss was not too large, mainly because the combat power of the chaotic people was insufficient, but the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army battalion were defeated, and did not cause too many effective casualties, and now there are generals relying on the city to collect the rout, and the forward battalion has not been captured, and the overall casualties are not large, at this time has choked the main road of this group of rebels to the south, but the rear army is stationed in the city, this group of rebels has been surrounded for a few days because there are no siege equipment, afraid that the imperial court will reorganize the army to attack, but it is early to drop hundreds of corpses, and fled westward in a hurry。

Han Chi generally knows the geography of Dingzhou, but this civil unrest is only on the border between Dingzhou and Yongzhou, and it has not harmed the hinterland of Dingzhou, and Qianyuan Mountain, where Tianyiguan is located, is in the southeast of Dingzhou, but there is no need to worry about the safety of Lao Zhang and other Taoist chiefs for the time being.

Although this civil unrest has a certain scale, but it is difficult to become too big a climate, that is, the neighboring state capitals hold on to the city, wait for the imperial court to organize troops, and then send a large army to the north and south, which is naturally blocked by the river in the east, but the rebellious people can only flee west into the mountains.

It's just that the mountains are barren, and how many people can be fed? Most of them will be strangled to death, and most of those who flee into the mountains will starve to death, and in the end there will be only a few hundred, but the mountains are cut across the north and south, and there are no fewer bandits among them? A few hundred are just a drop in the ocean.

Although the matter is roughly like this, it has attracted the attention of the imperial court, but there will be no more repetition, but the Songzi Daoist decided not to go on the road for the time being on the grounds that the bandits are not clean, and it is indispensable to be cautious in the world, so Han Chi can only be in this city with the Songzi Daoist.

This city is called Nanluo, although it is a capital city, it is not the key point that must pass through the north and south, and there is no product that is enough to move the world, it is only the most ordinary and unremarkable first-class among the cities of Dingzhou.

Even the chief of Songzi Dao jokingly complained, saying that this city does not even have good wine, but it is not as good as some rich county seats, Han Chi thought so, because the taste of Nanluo's roast chicken is also average, but the general roast chicken may not be able to be eaten every day.

Or because of the rebellion of the displaced people, but it has seriously affected the livelihood of the people here, that is, Han Chi walked around the city during the day, and he also found that there were more and more refugees entering the city.

Thinking that this civil unrest could not be solved in a few days, this Songzi Daoist first pointed out Han Chi's cultivation.

Han Chi was puzzled and asked, "This place is not a place full of spiritual energy, how can you cultivate?"

Songzi Dao Chang said with a smile, "You don't understand this matter, when you cultivate to adopt the aura, you have already entered the subtle realm is a mirror, but ordinary people are not able to adopt the aura casually, if you want to adopt the aura, you must first adjust the body, open the day after tomorrow seventy-two orifices, and after the seventy-two orifices are opened, in a fixed route to connect them, it is subtle." The differences in the exercises of the various schools are distinguished from the different routes connected by these 72 orifices. ”

Han Chi then asked, "Then can you connect all the seventy-two tricks?"

The chief of Songzi laughed and replied, "You have a very good idea, so do you calculate how many meridians you need to open here?" You say that you have so much time, but your body is loaded with so many meridians? In fact, there are really people who have tried, and there have been people like you who have been delusional like you a long time ago, and want to exhaust the methods of the world, so they want to connect all the acquired tricks first."

Seeing that the Songzi Daoist stopped at this time, Han Chi hurriedly asked, "And then?"

However, the chief of Songzi Dao made a gesture of expanding his hands, "The man only connected the twenty-four points, and then his body swelled, and then exploded with a bang."

Han Chi was suddenly taken aback when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked, "Cultivation is still such a dangerous thing?"

Songzi Taoist replied with a straight face: "What do you think? Cultivation is to recite sutras, meditate, and then discuss the Tao with others? You must know that cultivation is the most dangerous thing in the world, if you are not careful, you will have the risk of your life, the higher you go, the more difficult it will be, and if you go to the slightest mistake, you may go mad, so you say that after knowing your fate, you must be careful about the breeding of internal demons, the invasion of external demons, you think this is a broad road, but you don't know how many torrents are hidden, otherwise how can the sect be so prosperous, that is, they have the safest cultivation method and cultivation place."

After hearing this, Han Chi felt that there should be this reason, the more you get, the more you have to pay, and at the same time, you have to take more risks, which is naturally the right principle between heaven and earth.

Songzi Taoist continued, "So boy, the poor Dao is now half of your master, so I will advise you here, there is no trivial matter on the road of cultivation, the law cannot be separated from the Tao, the law cannot be overstepped, the law cannot be completed, the law is not completed, the method is not cultivated, the way is not known, the law is not practiced, this is the most fundamental difference between the world's righteous cultivation and evil cultivation, don't be confused for a while, go astray, remember!

After hearing this, Han Chi realized that his cultivation path had really begun, but this trip was really a long way to go!
