If there is some happiness in the misfortune, it is that the fertile land on the ridge in the east of the city has not been recovered.

One is because the fertile land on the ridge in the east of the city also belongs to the Suiyun Mountains, and the other is that the immortal official in the city shows his generosity and points out that he wants to leave the fields to the displaced people outside the city.

The immortals in Bai Yujing said that no matter where they are, as long as they are willing to believe in the Pure Moon Temple, they are all believers in Bai Yujing, and it doesn't matter whether they are subjects of the New Tang Dynasty or not, as long as they believe in the Pure Moon Temple, Bai Yujing will bless them.

Those words are okay to deceive ignorant residents, but it is not okay to deceive Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming has never believed Bai Yujing's words.

Their Bai Yujing's style is not only domineering, but also contrived, too hypocritical.

I'd rather work with real villains than make friends with hypocrites.

Some people are very philistine on the surface, maybe they are greedy for money, they may be very arrogant, but such people have traces to follow after all, as long as they grasp their weaknesses and work with them more carefully, there will be no major problems.

Bai Yujing, a fairy palace that seems to be out of the dust, is the most terrifying thing to do behind his back.

Hypocrite, you never know if he's smiling with a snack or a knife.

It has been more than ten days since Yu Yu came to the border on that day, and during these days, Bai Yujing has preached the scriptures and spread the Tao under various names, and has already accepted many believers in the border city.

In the first few days, because the accumulated corpse qi in many people's bodies had not been dissipated, they set up a dojo to distribute pills to detoxify the city's citizens.

In recent days, he has begun to treat diseases and save people, and the most widely spread is that there is an old woman who was blind during the war in the city, who was treated by Bai Yujing with agar syrup and jade liquid, and regained her light.

Ten thousand people in the city sang it, claiming that the Jingyue Immortal Official was the Daluo Immortal who came to the world and saved the world, which was the blessing of the New Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the borderlands.

Then, every morning, he would set up a high platform in the city to preach, and preach some ways to maintain health and prolong life for those believers, and also say some Taoist scriptures, so as to relieve the sorrows of those who seek solutions.

It's always those things that have nothing to do with Zhong Ming, he doesn't believe it, and he doesn't listen to it.

During this period of time, Zhong Ming was only worried about one thing, that is, the frozen dantian in his body.

In the early morning, the small fenced courtyard of the bell is very lively.

The old Taoist priest Zhang Daozhen and the little Taoist priest Zhang Nianchen stood in the courtyard to practice the morning class, Zhang Nianchen followed Zhang Daozhen to practice a set of boxing techniques, slow and weak, which seemed to be somewhat similar to Taijiquan.

Liang Yu also joined in the fun, following behind the two Taoist priests, he had learned less, and his boxing skills looked strange, and he almost fell down when he raised his leg several times.

And Zhong Ming is standing in front of the stone table, practicing calligraphy every day.

When Zhong Ming received the brush and the book, Zhang Daozhen and they had just finished practicing.

After closing the momentum, Liang Yu diligently helped Zhang Daozhen to sit on the stone bench and asked: "Zhang Daochang, I have a sense of the knife technique you taught me yesterday, do you think I will give Xiaodao Chang a drill and let him give me some pointers?"

Since Zhang Daozhen came to the village, he also received an honest believer, that is Liang Yu.

Although Zhang Daozhen is a Taoist of the Danding faction of Longmen Mountain, he is not only able to refine the Dan array, but he is also very proficient in the fists and feet of martial arts people.

Eighty years ago, Liang Yu's grandfather was not born yet, and the age was too old, and I don't know if what the old Taoist said was true or not.

Whether it is true or not, Zhang Daozhen has real skills, and he has a lot of martial arts cheats in his hands, so he taught Liang Yu a set of "Breaking a Thousand Army".

"Breaking a Thousand Armies" is a famous knife technique a hundred years ago, the knife technique is mainly vigorous, the knife is domineering, the Mahayana realm is powerful and the momentum of splitting the mountains, supplemented by the strong internal strength and true qi, it is a rare overlord sword flow of superior kung fu.

Hearing Liang Yu say this, Zhang Daozhen shook his head with a smile: "Liang Yu, this practice is not an overnight thing, don't be in a hurry, you must not be proud of your enlightenment, I don't need to watch the drill, wait for you to be like Zhong Jushi, you can sword the dragon and let Nianchen help you see the shortcomings." ”

"The lesson of the Taoist chief is that I will practice diligently. ”

Liang Yu scratched his head, he knew that he couldn't do it with a knife.

Liang Yu's talent is acceptable and diligent, but after all, no one helps him, and it will take some time to practice the true qi of the dantian.

Zhang Nianchen, who was behind him, patted Liang Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Liang Hei, don't worry, I'll go to the mountains to pick some herbs another day, and refine two pills for body forging for you, and practicing will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Liang Yu immediately grinned and said, "This relationship is good, when you take the time, I will accompany you to the mountains to collect medicine." ”

During this time, the two Taoist priests lived in the mud village, and the courtyard vacated by Mr. Guo before was given to the master and apprentice to live in.

The old Taoist priest seemed to have some plans, and he never mentioned the matter of leaving, and no one asked how long they would stay.

Besides, Zhong Ming's matter of borrowing Zhang Nianchen's life has not yet been fulfilled, Zhang Daozhen has never mentioned it, and Zhong Ming is also happy to have less trouble, which seems to have been forgotten by the two.

After living for more than ten days, the two Taoist priests, old and young, also integrated into the life of the mud village, and they lived freely here, coming to Zhongming on time every day to eat.

The two young men laughed happily, and Zhang Daozhen immediately poured a basin of cold water: "Apprentice, you have only practiced a few furnaces of pills, so you want to refine the pill to help others, I'm afraid you don't want to eat the dead Liang monk." ”

Zhang Nianchen smiled awkwardly, he was still so shy when he laughed, like a girl, in order to resolve the embarrassment, he hurriedly said: "Master, Zhong Jushi, I'll go cook first." ”

is already familiar, Zhang Nianchen took the initiative to run into Zhong Ming's house to cook, treating this place as his own home.

Liang Yu also scratched his head, lifted the horizontal knife on the table, and ran to the side to practice the knife.

Zhong Ming poured Zhang Daozhen a cup of herbal tea, and said with a smile: "Old Dao, if you don't let go and let you do it in vain, how do you know that he won't, the pill you practice can fly and run after eating, and you have to eat the dead if you practice in vain?"

"This is a mistake, Zhong Jushi doesn't know, alchemy pays attention to medicinal properties, if there is a little difference, it is a thousand miles of fallacy. ”

Speaking of alchemy, Zhang Daozhen gushed endlessly, and very old-fashioned, this is the Dan Tao he pursued all his life, for him it is the unshakable truth of life, and a wrong word cannot be said by others.

Zhong Ming didn't have the heart to tell him about alchemy, so he waved his hand casually and said, "Old Dao, if you really practice the pill well, it's better to find a way to cure my dantian first." ”

"Speaking of this, I really have no heart to ...... poor road"

Zhang Daozhen's hand drinking tea stopped, shook his head and sighed.

Regarding the freezing of Zhong Ming's dantian, Zhang Daozhen has also tried his best in the past few days, using Taoist true qi to resolve Zhong Ming, brewing Zhong Ming with a medicine bucket, and even making a special trip to practice a pill for Zhong Ming.

It always didn't help, and the vertex effect was not seen.

Zhong Ming's dantian is still like the cold winter wax moon, the appearance of ice and snow.

And in recent days, Zhong Ming often felt that there was a cold air coming out of the dantian, arching his back spine, and sometimes when he woke up, he felt back pain, and his whole body shivered with cold.

Zhang Daozhen also explained to Zhong Ming that this is the sequelae of the frozen dantian.

Although ordinary people do not have true qi in their dantian, they are also important acupoints in the human body, and ordinary exhalation and storage of qi will also affect qi.

Zhong Ming's dantian is frozen, just like someone has taken off a kidney, so can it be okay?

In the past few days, he has been practicing the knife for a long time, and he will feel that his arms are trembling and he can't stop shaking, which is worse than when his physique was weak at the beginning.

In order to find the matter of rescuing the dantian, it was already a top priority, and Zhong Ming was afraid that if it dragged on like this, it would really affect his life.

Zhong Ming's frowning brows never relaxed, and he said bitterly in his mouth: "Old Dao, my body is getting worse and worse, so I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the matter of borrowing Zhang Nianchen's life, or you can find a day and do it, I Zhong Ming still owes favor when I don't want to die." ”

Putting down the herbal tea in his hand, Zhang Daozhen stood up and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not in a hurry, Zhong Jushi, don't be discouraged, and then think about it......

Zhang Daozhen stood with his hands in his hands, walking around the stone table, frowning as if he was thinking of a way.

Seeing that the old Taoist had a heart, Zhong Ming was also very grateful in his heart, he looked up in the direction of the Sui Yun Mountain Range, and muttered, "Uncle, when will you come back?"

In the past few days, Zhong Ming has thought of all the ways he can think of, but to no avail, and now he can only pin his hopes on Yang Yanlang, hoping that the uncle who was the three gods of the New Tang Dynasty can bring him a glimmer of hope.

Because of Zhong Ming's dantian, today's breakfast was tasteless, and they dispersed after breakfast in a hurry.

Liang Yu ran back to his courtyard to practice knives, and after learning "Breaking a Thousand Armies", Liang Yu found something to do, and used it to practice knives in his spare time.

Zhang Daozhen and Zhang Nianchen returned to their thatched houses, and the two should be the ones who are looking for Zhong Ming to crack the dantian.

Zhong Ming was very irritable in his heart, he had no intention of practicing calligraphy, let alone practicing knives, and sat alone in the courtyard drinking tea.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day that Zhong Ming planned to take the horse out for a walk, but as soon as he led the horse out of the courtyard, he saw Fei Dacheng running over in a hurry.

Fei Dacheng always looks like he is in a hurry, and his anxious look really doesn't match this obese figure.

bumped into Zhong Ming leading the horse out of the door, Fei Dacheng hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Brother Ming, it's not good, Xiaoyu's father was injured!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ming frowned and said, "What's the matter, idiot, you tell me carefully." ”

Fei Dacheng took a few breaths, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and explained the matter clearly.

Since a few days ago, a notice on the border of the New Tang Dynasty was posted outside the city, several villages outside the border city have become three areas, and in addition to the silt village, there are five villages in the territory of Sui Yunshan.

A total of six villages have become unsupervised camps for displaced people, and those who were honest at first are ready to move.

Everyone is a homeless person who has come out of the war, and the style of doing things that you fight for me has long been engraved into the bones, at first there was a He County order in the city to manage it, but now everyone has become a homeless again, and the thief in the hearts of some wicked people is alive again.

Heshang Village is a village near the east ridge of the city, which has always been notorious, and it was a gathering place for corpse eaters during the war.

Now that there is no one to govern Heshang Village, the group of people who started their lives by looting are full of thieves.

The group of people in Heshang Village have long coveted the fertile fields on the ridge in the east of the city, and when they have the opportunity, they have the heart to take advantage of it, and a group of strong men run to the ridge in the east of the city and pick up several acres of freshly sprouted seedlings.

When the wicked people were pulling seedlings in the field, they happened to be hit by the little fish father who was carrying a hoe to the field.

Xiaoyu's father's name is Lu Dashu, he is a very responsible man, and when he saw that someone was calamitizing the villagers' fertile land, he couldn't look past it, so he reasoned with those people.

A group of wicked people are just looking for fault, how can they have theoretical thoughts, if they can't say two sentences, they will hit Lu Dashu's head and bleed, and they will only give up after passing out.

The man who accompanied Lu Dashu brought people back, and then asked Fei Dacheng to inform Zhong Ming.

After hearing this, Zhong Ming was furious, and he immediately went back to the house to pick up the Absolute Ringing Knife.

Although angry, Zhong Ming is still sensible, the more he encounters problems, the more he can't be in a hurry, and he has suffered from making mistakes in his busyness.

So he asked, "Where is Uncle Lu now?"

Fei Dacheng hurriedly replied: "Uncle Lu is resting at home, and when he came, I called Zhang Daochang to take care of Uncle Lu's injuries. ”

"Well, you go and inform Brother Hei, I'll go to Uncle Lu's house first to see his injuries. ”

After speaking, Zhong Ming picked up his knife and got on the horse, and galloped all the way to Lu Dashu's house.

Lu Dashu's house was in the middle of the village, and when the bell rang, a group of people had already gathered in the courtyard, and the neighbors blocked the courtyard to the ground.

It is a big deal for people in the village to be beaten, and every villager will come to see it.

Since surviving the war, everyone in the mud village knows that everyone can survive without the help of neighbors on weekdays, so this group of people is particularly united, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are family members with different surnames.

How concerted a group of people who survived the famine is enough to illustrate this incident.

Most of the men in the courtyard are holding hoes, sickles and the like in their hands, and everyone looks like they are sharpening knives.

Seeing Zhong Ming coming, someone immediately shouted: "Mr. Zhong has arrived, everyone get out of the way." ”

The crowd split the way, Zhong Ming turned over and dismounted and went inside, and someone said just two steps: "Mr. Zhong, Brother Lu was beaten, this matter can't just be over, our people in Mud Village are not egg-wrapping, so we will take the guy and fight with Heshang Village!"

What this person said was reasonable, and it was also in line with everyone's indignant mood, and many men raised their farm tools in their hands.

Having said that, things can't be done like this, Zhong Ming waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, Uncle Lu's idiot has already told me, this matter belongs to the dispute in the village, you can't act privately, just leave it to me and Liang Yu, otherwise Liang Yu and they are not rotten people who have collected the land for nothing?"

Liang Yu is the head snake of the silt village, and he has to go to the village every month to collect the head payment of the land, which is not paid for nothing.

Now this is a dispute between the two villages, and Liang Yu has to come forward to solve it.

After receiving the land payment, even if he was beaten to death by bullies from other villages to protect the village, it is a matter of course.

The green skins of today's era are not those bastards who take rations at will, they played the role of plainclothes servants in that era when the legal system was not perfect.

As soon as Zhong Ming drank like this, the villagers put down their farm tools, and another person said: "Everything is under Mr. Zhong's orders." ”

After pacifying the villagers, Zhong Ming hurriedly entered the house, as soon as he came in, he saw Old Man Sun and Zhang Nianchen standing in the house, Old Man Sun looked up and saw Zhong Ming: "Xiao Zhong, you are here." ”

"Well, Uncle Sun, leave this matter to me and Liang Yuguan, don't interfere, if more villagers are injured by mistake, it will be worth the loss. ”

After admonishing Old Man Sun, he was also an understanding person, nodded and said, "Xiao Zhong, you look at it, I'll let the villagers disperse." ”

"That's very good. ”

Immediately, Old Man Sun went out to dismiss the villagers, and Zhong Ming said hello to Zhang Nianchen and walked into the inner room.

I saw Lu Dashu lying on the bed in the inner room, his hair was scattered, his face was gray, there were scars on his forehead and face, his sackcloth was also tattered, and his shirt was torn into rags.

At a glance, it was clear that Lu Dashu had been severely beaten.

Zhang Daozhen was sitting at the head of the bed, applying ointment to Lu Dashu, although the old Taoist priest couldn't see, but he knew how to do it, and helped Lu Dashu smear his wounds impartially.

Zhong Ming walked up to Zhang Daozhen and asked in a low voice, "Old Dao, how is Uncle Lu's injury?"

"It's not a big deal, it's all some skin trauma, the most serious is that someone hit the neck, fainted, and it's okay to sleep, but there is one place you have to be careful......"

As he spoke, Zhang Daozhen took Lu Dashu's sleeve and showed Zhong Ming the injury on his left arm.

There were two bruises on the strong arm, and it looked like it had been whipped and swollen.

Zhong Ming didn't see the clue, so he asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Daozhen said in a low voice: "This is pinched by someone's fingers, the perpetrator is a practitioner, and he knows some foreign kung fu, this fingering has a doorway, called Liying Claw." ”

These words made Zhong Ming frown, and he was suddenly secretly shocked, he didn't expect that there was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among this group of homeless people, and there were even people in the martial arts.

"If it's normal, you don't have to be afraid of him, the power eagle claw is just an external kung fu, and generally people who practice this kind of kung fu will not be really angry, but now your dantian is frozen and can't exert internal strength, if you want to seek revenge, you must be careful of this person, don't suffer a secret loss. ”

Nodding, Zhong Ming also knew in his heart, thinking that he was not a master, so he said: "I understand, you can help with the treatment, don't worry about me." ”

Lao Dao continued to apply ointment to Lu Dashu, while Zhong Ming turned around to comfort Xiaoyu and his mother.

When Zhong Ming turned to look at the woman holding the child behind him, he was stunned for a moment.

The child in the swaddling clothes is Lu Dashu's son-Lu Xiaoyu, but it was not Xiaoyu and his mother who were holding the child, but Sun Luolian, who entered the house in a hurry, and Zhong Ming didn't look closely, so he didn't notice it.

Zhong Ming asked in surprise: "Xiaolian, why are you holding the child, Xiaoyu and his mother?"

The little fish in Aunt Zhang's arms kept crying, maybe there were too many people and disturbed the child's rest, so she couldn't stop crying.

Sun Luolian has never raised a child, she is a little in a hurry, and when she heard Zhong Ming's question, she suddenly realized and shouted: "Brother Zhong, you go and chase the fish sister-in-law, just now she handed over the little fish to me to take care of, she picked up the bricks in the corner of the wall, pulled out a sword and walked out, it should be to go to the ridge to find the people of Heshang Village to seek revenge!"

Zhong Ming was even more surprised by these words, and he looked at the corner of the house, and there was indeed a mud brick that had been torn open, and something seemed to have been hidden in the dark hole.

Where did Xiaoyu get his mother's sword? Could it be that Xiaoyu is still a person in the martial arts?

For a while, Zhong Ming was completely stunned, when did this small border town hide so many martial arts people of unknown origin!
