Chapter 13 At the foot of Changbai Mountain

"Brother Wu, how old do you say Pei Shangxian is?" Zhou Luowei, who had become acquainted, changed her words and no longer called Wu Lu a thief.

Wu Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know how old I am, but I estimate that he is sixty years old." ”

"yes, yes! Zhou Luowei curled up in the corner of the carriage, and couldn't help nodding and said: "My father once told me that fifteen years ago, Pei Shangxian and my father met, I was not born at that time, but in the past fifteen years, Pei Shangxian's appearance has not been aged, it seems that cultivators can really prolong their lives." ”

Wu Lu didn't say anything, his eyes only stared at the girl's clothes scattered on the ground.

"Brother Wu, do you say that Peng Zu, who has gone through the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and even the Xia and Shang Dynasties, will he be a cultivator! When I used to read miscellaneous books, I didn't believe that Peng Zu could live to be 880 years old, so wouldn't he soon become a thousand-year-old king or a 10,000-year-old turtle? What kind of cultivation can live for more than 800 years? Moreover, it is said that Peng Zu did not die of old age, but was killed by the Shang King Wuding... If he hadn't been killed, would he have lived until our Wanli Dynasty?"

"Hmm" Wu Lu responded this time, but his eyes were still staring at the girl's clothes on the ground. It was a plain white bandeau, and Wu Lu couldn't figure out which part of his body this cloth was wearing even if he wanted to break his head?

And Zhou Luowei, who opened the chatterbox, finally showed her lively and active character, she was originally the pearl of the Zhou family, her parents doted on her, and they didn't wrap her feet, nor did they let her read books like "Women's Ring" and "Internal Training", but let her temperament, so that she read a lot of miscellaneous books at a young age and knew a lot of strange things.

After learning about the cultivator from Wu Lu's mouth, Zhou Luowei was even more excited, thinking that the miscellaneous books she had read before had not been read in vain, and she kept expressing her opinions to Wu Lu.

"If you want me to say, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, is definitely a cultivator, who has gone through the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and is more than 200 years old. More than 200 years old, and it has only been more than 200 years since the founding of our dynasty. That is, the characters of the Hongwu period have lived until now, and they dare not think, dare not think..."

"There is also Lu Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty, who is absolutely a proper cultivator, and he is a sword immortal, I used to read "History of the Song Dynasty", and I saw that the history books wrote: Lu Dongbin has swordsmanship, more than 100 years old and childish, brisk walking, pouring hundreds of miles... Look at it! Isn't this just the same character as Pei Shangxian! Yesterday I flew with Pei Shangxian with the imperial weapon, and it was really in the clouds and fog, and in the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds of zhang away, just like a fairy! No! It is a fairy!"

"There are also Zhang Daoling of Longhu Mountain and Chen Tuan Ancestor of Taihua Mountain..."

Wu Lu interrupted Zhou Luowei's words and said, "Then Sun Xingzhi, Zhu Wuneng... They must also be cultivators!"

Zhou Luowei rolled her eyes and said: "What I said is a historical figure really recorded in the history books, Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie is a joke, it is all made up, and it should not be true." After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Wu Lu with disdain and said: "Sure enough, he was a soldier and ate food, but he was shallow in knowledge." ”

Wu Lu hated Zhou Luowei's tone and face that despised him as a soldier, he patted the carriage and signaled the Jurchen soldiers who were driving the car to stop the car, and he wanted to get out of the car to relieve himself. After the speed of the car slowed down, he jumped out of the carriage and said without looking back: "Then please be knowledgeable and you quickly pack up the things in the car, just give me a thief soldier who is a soldier to eat food, it's really not good." ”

"Ahh

Wu Lu got out of the car and found a wooded place to relieve himself. At this time, the Jurchen soldiers who were driving the car also came to relieve him, he stared at Wu Lu with a slightly provocative gaze, and then unbuttoned his trouser belt as if he wanted to show Wu Lu his strong capital.

Wu Lu was most annoyed by this kind of rude barbarian, and he didn't pay attention to him after he finished relieving him, and turned around to go back to the carriage to continue staying.

But at this moment, a huge feather arrow "coughed" and grazed the tips of Wu Lu's hair and nailed straight to the trunk of the tree behind him.

Wu Lu was frightened and threw himself on the ground, and then hid behind a tree.

Hearing the sound of arrows, the Jurchen soldier hurriedly fastened his belt, crouched down to hide, and made a sharp whistle with his index finger in his mouth. The Jurchen soldiers of the entire convoy dismounted one after another to impose martial law, using the body of the horse and the carriage as shields, carefully observing the movements around them.

The Jurchen soldiers at the head of the convoy shouted in Jurchen language: "Where did you come from, friends, why did you attack the warriors of Yehebu?"

A figure flashed over the rocks along the ridgeline a hundred feet away, and the arrow was shot from that direction. After a while, a Jurchen sentence came back: Warriors of the Yehe Division, why do you want to bring the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom to the holy mountain "that is, Changbai Mountain", so that you are not afraid of the anger of the mountain god?

The Jurchen soldiers in the convoy all breathed a sigh of relief, and the people who came were not from Nurhachi, but from the tribes of the Changbai Mountain region. I don't know if it's the Neyin Department or the Zhusheli Department.

In his early years, Nurhachi was displaced by the Ming army because his father and grandfather were mistakenly killed, and he fled to the Neyin Department to avoid pursuit and killing, and searched for the leader to work as a horseman. And Sowen superstitious Hu Daxian told his fortune, saying that those with red moles on their feet would take their lives, and he inadvertently found that Nurha's feet had red moles, and Sowen wanted to harm his life. As a result, Sowen's daughter couldn't bear to be killed by Nurhachi and secretly let him go.

But it is precisely because of this that the enmity between the Neyin tribe and Nurhachi cannot be resolved at all. Originally, there were three Jurchen tribes in Changbai Mountain, namely the Yalu River Division, the Zhusheli Division, and the Neyin Division. Last year, that is, in the nineteenth year of Wanli, the Yalu River Division, which was also one of the three departments of Changbai Mountain, had been captured by Nurhachi, and the Zhusheli Department and the Ne Yin Department were advancing and retreating together, and the now full-fledged Nurhachi regarded them as enemies, so although these two departments belonged to the Jianzhou Jurchens, they were mixed with the Haixi Jurchens, and last year these two departments also successfully ransacked the cave where Ye Chen lived in the east of Jianzhou together with the Yehe Department, so they Yehe warriors went to the Zhusheli Department and the Neyin Department that was also a guest.

The Jurchen soldiers led by the horse team continued to talk loudly in Jurchen words, and when Hu Daxian was mentioned, the Jurchens in the Changbai Mountains over there finally let down their guard.

I only heard that more than a dozen middle-aged men walked out of the dense forest opposite, led by a burly body, wearing a bearskin hat, wearing leather armor, holding a five-stone strong bow, with a fierce look on his face, walking like a giant tower.

"It's Shu Lenge!" the Haixi Jurchen soldiers exchanged one after another.

This giant man was Shu Lengge, the head of the Zhusheli Division, and the Haixi Jurchen soldiers came forward to talk, and learned from him that three days ago, another Haixi Jurchen team escorted a Korean family to be accepted by the Neyin Ministry, and lived in the mountain city of the Neyin Ministry, and it is said that Hu Daxian is also there now.

The Jurchen soldiers who led the team immediately decided to lead the convoy to the mountain city of Neyinbu, after all, they received an order from the shaman to bring Wu Lu and the others to Hu Daxian.

Seeing that there was no danger, Wu Lu also walked out from behind the tree and walked towards the convoy. He didn't want to get into trouble, and he had to be cautious in the barbarian's den.

"Then the Ming army pawn will stop me!" I only heard a scolding, but I saw a Jurchen girl riding a high-headed horse and wearing a fiery red cloak suddenly jumped out from the back of the convoy, brandished a leather whip and scolded Wu Lu: "Take off your military uniform, Changbai Mountain does not welcome Ming soldiers!"

The girl spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, but Wu Lu understood.

It turned out that since Li Chengliang favored Nurhachi and supported him to become the commander of the Jianzhou Weidu, with the strength of the Ming army, Nurhachi's power expanded rapidly. And the Neyin and Zhusheli tribes, who had a grudge against Nurhachi, also hated the Ming army. Wu Lu's mandarin duck battle made the two people in Changbai Mountain very uncomfortable, so Shu Lengge, the head of the Zhusheli Department, suddenly shot that arrow, intending to shoot the Ming army pawn who broke into the Baitou Mountain area.

And the Jurchen girl is Shu Lengge's adopted daughter Wanyan Long'er, who was the only daughter of a brother of the opposite sex in Shu Lengge's department, because her father was bitten to death by a tiger when he went up the mountain to catch Hai Dongqing, Shu Lengge married his wife and adopted his daughter in accordance with Jurchen customs, and regarded Wanyan Longer as his own.

After that, Shu Lengge was pleasantly surprised that Wanyan Long'er was actually investigated by Hu Daxian and found that she was carrying an immortal root, and she had been following Hu Daxian to Changbai Mountain to practice the high-grade immortal method, and it has been several years now. This time, Hu Daxian made an exception to go down the mountain, and Wanyan Long'er also followed him down the mountain, and after returning to Zhusheli to meet his biological mother for a few days, he was going to go to the Yin Department to meet Hu Daxian.

And Shu Lengge was escorting his adopted daughter to the mountain city of Neyin.

Wu Lu saw that this delicate girl was so unreasonable, and he didn't want to deal with her, so he directly bypassed the girl and got into the carriage.

Wanyan Long'er saw that Wu Lu didn't care about herself at all, since she had been ignored since she followed Hu Daxian to practice immortal arts? Caught off guard, Wu Lu's arm was whipped out of the elder blood.

Wu Lu's heart was burning with anger, and when he returned to the carriage, he took out the bird gun and raised it to the little head of the Jurchen girl.

The Jurchen soldiers on the side were about to scold Wu Lu for putting down the bird gun, but Shu Lengge laughed and said, "Don't worry, this little bird gun can't hurt my Long'er Gege." ”

Seeing that this pawn of the Ming army actually dared to resist, Wanyan Long'er laughed angrily. She shook her head and said contemptuously, "What an ignorant pawn, do you think you hurt me with this bird?"

Wan Yan Long'er took a long breath, put down the leather whip, stretched out her slender right hand, and a fireball suddenly rose from her hand, this hot fireball made Wu Lu instantly sense the danger,

"Do you take it off or not?" Wan Yan Long'er continued to threaten word by word.

And those Jurchen soldiers learned from Shu Lengge that this Yan Long'er would not really hurt Wu Lu's life, and they also held their hands to watch the joke, and they were not moved at all.

On the other carriage, Shibata Mori was no longer studying the exercises, and also got out of the carriage and looked at Wu Lu.

Wanyan Long'er noticed Shibata Sen's status as a Qi cultivation period cultivator, moved her gaze to Shibata Sen, and sneered: "The first layer of Qi cultivation period?

With a humble smile on his face, Shibata Sen arched his hand and said, "This Daoist friend is laughing, just with the cultivation of the third layer of Daoist Friendship's Qi cultivation period, how dare I offend?"

It turned out that Yan Long'er had been cultivating with Hu Daxian for a few years, and he was already a third-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, so naturally it was not Shibata Sen who dared to offend at will, although he had a wood spider given by ten thousand laws, but he would not do such a stupid thing as Wu Lu's head.

And Zhou Luowei was still curled up in the shadow of the carriage, holding the package, not daring to move. The voices of so many aliens talking outside just now frightened her, who was not familiar with the world, and she closed her eyes, just begging Pei Shangxian to come back quickly.

Wu Lu looked at the scorching fireball in Yan Long'er's hand, and the light of the fireball was also reflected in his eyes.

Suddenly, Wu Luchang exhaled, dropped the bird's gun, jumped out of the carriage, and said: "I, Wu Luchang, am so big, I haven't seen a woman with such a strange request, and actually asked me to untie my clothes in front of her... Well, as you wish..."

Wu Lu said while taking off the mandarin duck jacket and throwing it on the ground, and after taking off the Ming army's uniform, he was about to take off the white shirt and obscene clothes inside, and actually planned to be naked in front of Wan Yan Long'er.

"That's enough!" Wan Yan Long'er waved her hand, and the fireball flew out, turning a small roadside tree with snow-covered branches into ashes.

"Shameless thief, cowardly and shameless!" Yan Long'er snorted, stepped on the mandarin duck jacket that Wu Lu had taken off, and then walked towards Shu Lenga as soon as he pulled the reins.

Those Jurchens began to laugh unscrupulously, Shu Lengge glanced at Wu Lu, his eyes were full of contempt, and he turned to the Haixi Jurchen soldiers and said: "My Long'er Gege has cultivated the immortal method at Hu Daxian, this time I have shown off in front of your courage, you will quickly join us and go to Neyin Mountain City together, presumably the chief of the road has already prepared good wine and meat to entertain all the warriors." ”

The Jurchen soldiers praised Shu Lengge for having a good daughter, and was even expected to become a shaman in the future.

After the greetings, the two teams gathered together and began to hurry again.

Wu Lu got into the carriage again, and he watched the mandarin duck jacket that accompanied him in a bloody battle being trampled by the horse's hooves and run over into the mud by the wheels. Originally, the bloody battle in Pyongyang City was still vivid, but as the battle jacket on his body was crushed in the muddy water, it all seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

But the strong sense of shame is buried deep in his heart, originally Wu Lu was only curious about Xiuzhen, after all, he was Pei Lingyun coerced Xiuzhen, and since he was a child, he followed his uncle to kill the enemy and make military achievements, and Guangzong Yaozu was his original idea. But when he was threatened to take off his battle jacket by a little girl who was only on the third floor of the Qi cultivation period, he finally understood the truth of the cultivation realm, the weak have no dignity, and the weak don't even deserve to have their lives.

Zhou Luowei on the side also seemed to understand that in addition to the Jurchens, only she and Wu Lu were Han in the entire convoy, and this fear of being in a pile of aliens made her unconsciously want to get closer to Wu Lu.

"That fireball is very dangerous!" Zhou Luowei comforted: "It's okay, Han Xin is still humiliated in his crotch, Gou Jian is still degrading himself, saving his life is the most important thing, and only by living can he have hope of revenge, isn't it?"

Wu Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was actually comforted by a twelve-year-old girl, it was too wretched. He sighed: "It seems that our path to cultivation is bound to be bumpy, so we still have to prepare early." ”

After Wu Lu finished speaking, he threw the book of cultivation mantras that Pei Lingyun gave him to Zhou Luowei and said, "This book was given to me by Pei Shangxian, and I have memorized the mantras above, you can take a look." ”

Zhou Luowei took the book in surprise and said, "Is this the cultivation method?

"No, this is just a mantra for cultivation, and before cultivating, you have to find the pulse and recognize the acupoints to practice qi, such as the twelve main meridians and the two veins of Rendu, and where the seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points are distributed, I don't know, I have to find another time to seek advice. Wu Lu shook his head and said.

"I will find the pulse and recognize the acupoint!" Zhou Luowei spread out the first sentence of the cultivation mantra and said: "For example, this operation of Xiao Zhou Tian is that the mind goes up against the pulse of the governor, goes down along the Ren pulse, and goes through the three levels of tail luke, spine, and jade pillow, the upper, middle, and lower three dantians and the upper and lower magpie bridges, and the upper and lower magpie bridges, which are in the Yin Hall and the nose, and the lower magpie bridges are in the perineum and valley road..."

Zhou Luowei said while pulling on her body to find the pulse and recognize the acupoints, when it came to the lower queqiao, she blushed and said: "When the time comes, I will draw you a map of the distribution of acupoints and veins, and you can refer to it yourself." ”

Wu Lu opened his mouth slightly, and only then did he realize that Zhou Luowei in front of him was actually a well-informed and talented girl who was proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous studies.

I was just stimulated by Yan Long'er, and I was thinking about cultivating hard, and now there is a living bookshelf next to me, so I don't hurry up to figure out how to cultivate.

Wu Lu hurriedly said: "Don't be in time, let's quickly recognize the pulse points required by the exercise mantra, and we should cultivate immediately!

"But... But..."Zhou Luowei blushed and said: "Some acupuncture points are different from men and women, and they are not easy to identify..."

"Hmm!" Wu Lu reacted and hurriedly said, "Then you can tell me the pulse points that are easy to identify first, and I will slowly explore them myself." ”

So along the way, the two began to prepare for cultivation, looking for pulses and acupoints.
