Chapter 91: Taoism
Three days later, Han Ming arrived at a small town in Jiangguo, and he wanted to go around and ask about the general situation of Jiangguo.
He has a habit of getting to know the general situation of that place every time he goes to a new place, which may be a bit troublesome, but he is happy to do it, after all, it is not a bad thing to be cautious.
When Han Ming was walking on the street, he found that many people looked at him strangely, which made him confused for a while.
Han Ming looked at his body, but he didn't find anything unusual about him, he changed into a shabby suit when he entered the town, and deliberately took a bath in the mountain spring, there shouldn't be anything wrong with him.
Passing by a place that sells mirrors, Han Ming realized why those people looked at him with a strange look in their eyes, it turned out that he had been busy with his way all these years, and he had been sleeping in the open all day, and he had been sunburned to the point that he was no different from a piece of black charcoal, and he didn't notice it when he was alone, but now that he entered the market, he found that he was far from others.
Han Ming stood in place and tilted his head to think about it, then walked into a medicinal herb shop without saying a word, and after a while, he bought a large bag of remote and unpopular medicinal herbs.
After buying the medicinal herbs, Han Ming walked into an inn, he asked for a good guest room, ordered a word not to be disturbed at will, and then went into the guest room.
More than ten days later, Han Ming left the inn again, at this time his complexion was not as dark as before, and now although it was still a little dark, it was not so obvious.
"This formula for changing skin color is really a bit magical, and most of the dust accumulated in the past few years has been removed in more than ten days, and now there is no need to travel for a long time, and then walking around with a black face like Hades, it is really a little bad. Han Ming muttered to himself, and then walked out, now he was going to inquire about the specific situation of Jiang Guo.
......
Dozens of days later, on a certain half-sized road, a dilapidated carriage swayed forward, and the person driving the carriage was sharp-beaked monkey gills, roe deer-headed rats, and his face was very obscene, very much like a street ruffian.
This coachman is a man in a small town hundreds of miles away, because he is the second oldest in the family and has a leper on his head, he is called Liu Er's leprosy.
Liu Erlai's parents died early and neglected to discipline him, so he didn't learn and didn't know how to steal chickens and dogs all day long, which can be said to be repeated and unchangeable, but it can be regarded as a tumor in their village.
"Childe, there should be a broken Taoist temple in the future, and now it's getting late, or we can rest in that Taoist temple. There is a vast wasteland in front of it, and there may not be a market town for hundreds of miles, and if you continue to walk in the dark, you may encounter wild wolves, poisonous insects, mosquitoes, ants and other things, which is really unsafe. Then Liu Erzi turned to the side slightly and asked respectfully into the carriage.
"It's okay, take this temporary antidote first, it can ensure that you will be okay within seven days, and when you reach the destination, I will send you the antidote, and it is not impossible to give you some benefits at that time!" A flat voice came from the carriage, and then a small porcelain bottle rolled out of the carriage.
"Yes, the villain will go to that Taoist temple, and the villain will do his best to do things for the son. Liu Erzi hurriedly replied, then picked up the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and swallowed the pills in the bottle as soon as he raised his head, without any hesitation.
Liu Erzi nodded and looked like a servant, and when he saw that there was no longer an echo in the carriage, he turned his head and continued to drive his carriage.
Although there was a layer of car curtains, Han Ming's divine sense still clearly felt Liu Erzi's sincere and frightened appearance, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that the practice of beating a stick and giving a piece of candy really works.
Thinking of the origin of this Liu Er's leper, Han Ming was a little speechless, Han Ming came down from a small restaurant that day, but he was deliberately bumped, Han Ming suddenly became interested, the person who hit him just now was really good at stealing skills, and he actually took his purse away.
Han Ming blocked Liu Er's leper in a small alley, Liu Erlezi couldn't help but sink when he saw that he was blocked, but when he saw that there was only Han Ming a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager, he couldn't help laughing, and then a trace of fierceness appeared on his face, he pulled out a pig-killing knife from behind his back, and was about to pounce.
Han Ming casually sprinkled the newly prepared poison, and controlled Liu Er's leprosy, originally planned to let him poison him directly, anyway, this Liu Erlezi was not a good person.
But Liu Erlezi said some words begging for mercy indiscriminately, and inadvertently mentioned that he followed the dart team everywhere when he was young, and he was somewhat familiar with the nearby thousands of miles, Han Ming thought about it for a while, and felt that it might be useful to keep him, and this was the scene where Liu Erlezi gave him a coachman.
After a while, Liu Erzi drove the carriage to the Broken Daoist Temple he said, and Han Ming got out of the carriage as soon as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then headed towards the Broken Daoist Temple.
Liu Er's leper was very discerning, and hurriedly ran into the Broken Dao Temple, cleaned up a clean place, and left Han Ming to sit down, while he himself ran to the side to collect firewood and prepare to build a fire.
Han Ming also smiled slightly when he saw that Liu Erlezi was so caring, but he was not moved by Liu Erle, but he felt that this Liu Erleper was also half a talent, and he could also observe words and feelings, but he was a good slave, of course, the premise was that he could firmly control him, so that he did not dare to resist.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Han Ming touched the cloth bag he was carrying behind his back, but found that there was not much dry food left, and after more than ten days of consumption, the dry food finally bottomed out.
Han Ming glanced at Liu Erlezi, and saw that Liu Erlezi was skinny and couldn't find the appearance of two taels of meat in his body, so he immediately dispelled the idea of driving Liu Erlezi to go out to hunt some game, just Liu Erlezi's body is not enough for a big insect to stuff his teeth!
"I'll go out and I'll be back shortly after that. Han Ming shook his robe and stood up, and then walked towards the mountain behind the Taoist temple without looking back.
Liu Erzi was originally packing up firewood, and suddenly heard Han Ming's command, he couldn't help but be surprised, now he was in the wilderness, and it was getting late, maybe there was some danger, but when he turned his head and thought of the scene on the day when Han Ming forced him to take poison, he was a little surprised.
Turning his head and thinking about it, Liu Erzi concentrated on lighting a fire, he had no idea of escaping, because he still had the poison given by Han Ming on his body, if he didn't get the antidote on time, he would definitely die of intestinal penetration, and he felt that following this son seemed to be something too bad, this son didn't seem to be a very vicious person.
Han Ming slowly went around to the back mountain, and then ran towards the mountains, Han Ming traveled all the way east, but nine out of ten nights were sleeping in the mountains, and the food was all wild things, so Han Ming's hunting methods were still very good.
Sure enough, Han Ming found the traces of the prey after a circle, and about a quarter of an hour later, Han Ming pulled out a blind bear hiding in a tree hole, and before the blind bear could get angry, Han Ming waved his hand and slashed out a flash of silver light, instantly cutting the blind bear into two.
Han Ming cleaned up and intercepted the two large pieces of meat on the blind bear's body, and then prepared to leave, but when he turned his head and saw the abnormally smooth cut on the bear's body, he couldn't help frowning, and threw out a fireball that instantly burned the blind bear into a pile of ashes, and with a wave of his hand, a whirlwind blew, blowing the ashes away.
Seeing those ashes being blown away until they completely dissipated, Han Ming smiled slightly, and then walked leisurely towards the way he came with a piece of meat in his hand.
By the time Han Ming returned to the broken temple, it was already half dark, and the swaying door panel of the broken Taoist temple was blown by the wind, making a squeaky sound, and there were bursts of strange bird calls from time to time in the mountains behind the broken temple, which looked very cold in the half-dark sky.
At this time, Liu Erzi had already made a fire, and he himself squatted honestly beside the fire, throwing one or two pieces of firewood into the fire from time to time.
Han Ming threw two pieces of bear meat in front of Liu Er's leprosy, and then walked over to his package and sat down.
"Roasted the bear's meat. Han Ming commanded in a low voice, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.
Han Ming glanced at the package that had been sitting in place when he closed his eyes, and found that the position of an extremely thin strand of hair he had placed on the package had not changed in the slightest, and he was a little satisfied at this time.
"This Liu Erzi really has some acquaintances, he didn't rummage through my package, and when he arrived at the destination, let him go, and it was not impossible to give him some money!" Han Ming thought about it secretly, and then concentrated on his own cultivation, now he is still at the fifth level of Qi training, and in the past five years, he has only been able to cultivate to the peak of the fifth layer of Qi training, and the bottleneck of the sixth layer is still very firm, and there is no sign of being broken through.
In the past five years of his eastward journey, his luck has been very against the sky, and through various ways, he has obtained a total of five medicinal herbs that are more than 100 years old, and even a 300-year-old purple ginseng.
He searched for a lot of rare medicinal herbs, and combined them with these five medicinal herbs to make fifteen pills that strengthened the foundation of Peiyuan.
It was with these fifteen pills and five years of cultivation that Han Ming had reached the peak of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, otherwise he would not even be able to reach the peak of the fifth layer, which made Han Ming very disappointed in his qualifications.
At the same time, Han Ming was also a little confused about the road ahead, according to his cultivation speed, he was afraid that it would be impossible to cultivate to the perfection of Qi cultivation in his lifetime, and it was unrealistic to even reach the seventh and eighth layers of Qi training.
Han Ming also felt that the deeper his cultivation became, the more difficult his cultivation became, and now he couldn't break through the fifth level of qi cultivation for five years! You must know that it only took him five years to go from the first level of qi cultivation to the fifth level of qi training! Although during this period, Hua Lao devoted himself to collecting most of his life's medicinal materials, but the difficulty of cultivation had indeed become very great.
Now Han Ming's only hope was that the Immortal Gate he was going to was a blessed land for the Immortal Family, which could solve the problem of his slow cultivation speed.
