Chapter 128 The Secret of Longevity
After leaving Lu Miaozi with enough potions to restore his body and cultivation, Lin Dao also gave Shang Xiuxun a super nutrient solution made by himself as a deposit, and booked 3,000 war horses for the Wudang Flying Army.
After that, Lin Dao left Pegasus Ranch non-stop and went to Yangzhou, Jiangnan.
Because, Yang Jun passed the book through the flying pigeon, and had already informed Lin Dao that Yu Wenhua had left Luoyang with a thousand Xiaoguo troops and went to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal.
For his own safety, and to delay the self-esteem of those family lords and hold high the banner of righteousness, Yang Guang has left Chang'an City, where the Guanlong family gathered, went to Luoyang Xindu, and brought most of the wealthy merchants in the north to Luoyang.
And left a mess in Chang'an City, and lost it to Li Yuan and other Guan Long families to deal with the aftermath.
For the sake of his own reputation and his credibility when he started the army in the future, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and completely took this mess into his hands.
But after the Guanzhong area was well regulated, Li Yuan laid a good reputation and foundation for occupying Chang'an later.
But it also made Li Valve's financial resources stretched, and he was unable to vigorously develop his armaments and military strength in the short term, much later than the uprisings of other rebel families.
But it won the hearts and minds of the people in Guanzhong. Between one loss and one gain, profit and loss are at ease in your heart.
.........
On the other hand, after Yang Guang moved to Luoyang, his temper became more and more fickle, and his personality became more and more tyrannical. The sensitivity to military power has led to the fact that Jin Wuwei has changed three commanders in a year.
In addition, Yang Guang's biggest secret is that he inherited from Xiang Yutian, and was even planted with a demon seed from Xiang Yutian, and became the furnace of Xiang Yutian's cultivation of Dao Heart Cultivation Demon Dafa.
It's a pity that due to the active manifestation of the humane power of the Middle Thousand Worlds, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, with the help of the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, he actually suppressed the backlash of the demon seed.
Not only did Yang Guang get out of Xiang Yutian's control, but the whole person was willing, and he was even more sober.
As a result, there was a series of actions after Yang Guang.
All in order to improve the national strength and form a larger humane dragon qi, so that Yang Guang can refine the demon seed in turn, resulting in his own divine achievements.
It's a pity that heaven is not as good as people. Because Yang Guangda tried his best to restrain the power of the imperial court, and when he stabilized his power, he touched a large number of interests of the existing interest class, and was directly secretly dragged back by these people. As a result, at the last moment of Yang Guang's refining of the demon seed, the dragon qi in his body lacked stamina, which led to the failure of refining the demon seed and the unfinished work.
Then, Xiang Yutian, who reacted, directly caused the demon seed in Yang Guang's body to explode, causing irreparable trauma to Yang Guang's soul.
This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Guang's temperament changed greatly in the later period, as well as self-abandonment, and was killed by Yu Wenhua.
Otherwise, with Yang Guang's original cultivation of the family heirloom martial arts emperor Jilu, he had reached the martial arts realm of a half-step celestial, and his martial arts would not be able to defeat Yang Guang at all.
Without mentioning Yang Guang, let's just say that Yu Wenhua and going south to Yangzhou are not much of a big deal in the eyes of others.
But Lin Dao, who has experienced several worlds and seen countless brilliant scenes of plots driven by cause and effect, knows that the horn of the fall of the Great Sui has begun to sound.
............
This time, in order to catch up with Yu Wenhua and get ahead, Lin Dao got the longevity formula from Shi Long.
Instead of moving forward slowly and leisurely as before, he went directly from Zhangshui, a tributary of the Yangtze River that flows through Pegasus Ranch, and sat on a special speedboat specially made by Lu Miaozizi earlier, and after entering the Yangtze River, he went down the river and went straight down to Yangzhou.
At this time, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, unlike later generations, has undergone vigorous development, and most of the areas on both sides of the river are barren mountains and mountains, tidal flats and marshes.
The upstream area is mostly barren and uninhabited. When you enter the area of Chengdu, the land of abundance, you can see some cooking smoke, fishing villages, and traces of human activities.
Moreover, even on the river there, there are only a few fishermen who specialize in fishing for a living, and scattered ferries, slowly moving forward.
Entering the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, small fishing villages began to appear on the riverside, with more than thirty or fifty households, and as few as seven or eight households, all over the Yangtze River along the gentle terrain and slightly higher altitude, and near the village, there must be a mountain range as a place to avoid floods.
Most of these southerners who fled the war went north to find a place to live.
And the rest of the area, all are a primitive appearance, the Yangtze River on both sides of the strange rocks are rugged, the vegetation is luxuriant, at night, the roar of wild beasts, is endless, the river is called the pig dragon of the Yangtze crocodile, it can be seen everywhere.
As for the novels and biographies, as well as the opera legends, the so-called Qinglou painting boat, the scene of rouge fragrance, it is impossible to appear in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Until the Feige speedboat crossed the Fuzhang River into the Yangtze River, and arrived at the nearest Jiujiang River, the forest road seemed to go from primitive to red dust, and once again saw the scene of secular prosperity, and the river was like a ferry.
Even the Qinglou painting boat began to appear in Lin Dao's eyes. Here, Lin Dao saw only drunken fans and singing and dancing, and they didn't seem to feel the war in the outside world at all.
After crossing the Jiujiang River, the number of boats coming and going on the river began to increase.
From the conversations between the boatmen and the flags on the ships, Lin Dao found that among these ships, the ships of the Great River Alliance and the Giant Kun Gang accounted for 30% of the ships coming and going in the river.
Among the remaining seventy percent, the family gate valve occupies more than fifty percent, the Jiangnan gangs occupy one percent, and the rest are those retail businessmen.
This time, Lin Dao did not stop the boat in Jiujiang, but continued to go south.
And it seems that those gangs and high-ranking rebels who are begging for a living on the river have received the news that Lin Dao is heading south. Therefore, his subordinates had already been informed of Lin Dao's appearance, so that the gang members and rebel soldiers who had set up checkpoints on the river had received the above news.
Therefore, when I saw the flying boat of the forest road passing by, no one came to check it, but directly opened the checkpoint to the line.
In this regard, Lin Daoquan did not see it, nor did he embarrass these gangs too much.
In his opinion, it is much better to have order than not to have order. Although the people will be exploited to a certain extent, they can guarantee their own lives.
Moreover, looking at the current situation, these businessmen who run the boat should still make money, and the profits are not small.
......
After crossing the Jiujiang River, after Lin Dao's boats entered Poyang Lake, they were about to enter the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the waterway was less than a week away from Yangzhou.
On both sides of the river downstream, because of the Wuhu chaos in those years, a large number of Han people went south to develop, making it more prosperous than the north.
From time to time, you can see full passenger boats shuttling across the Yangtze River.
Moreover, every time you go dozens of miles, Lin Dao can see a Qinglou painting boat gathered together.
At night, you can see that the lights are bright, noisy and lively, and the silk and bamboo songs and dances are everywhere......
Compared with the wars in the northern land, the land south of the Yangtze River seems to be in another world.
With the food stored in the small world, as well as Lindao's already superb cooking skills, coupled with the fact that the real body can come and go freely, Lindao's flying boat has never docked.
On the day of May 23, Lin Dao's flying boat entered the boundary of Yangzhou.
did not let the flying boat get too close to Yangzhou City, and the flying boat of Lindao docked on the riverside with no human tracks.
After Lin Dao came ashore, he casually included the flying boat in the small world, and used Ling Bo Weibu, which was integrated into the pace of the national arts, and rushed towards Yangzhou City.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Dao entered Yangzhou City from the west gate of Yangzhou City, and walked straight towards the Shilong Dojo, which had already been explored.
At this time, Shi Long, the mountain pusher, spent most of his time in retreat in a house not far from the stone dragon dojo because of his understanding of the secret of longevity.
Therefore, he had already figured out everything about Lin Dao, and without a trace of hesitation, after pulling a passer-by to ask about the direction between his current location and the Shilong Dojo, he went directly to the courtyard where Shilong was.
At this time, Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army led by Yu Wenhua were less than three days away from Yangzhou City.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in Yangzhou City are nesting on the crowded streets for a full meal, looking for a fat sheep.
Shi Long, still locked himself in the small courtyard, thinking about how to cultivate the secret of immortality.
As for the Goryeo lady Fu Junwu, she still embarked on the road of assassinating Yang Guang and was pursued by the army sent by the imperial court. And the direction of her escape turned out to be Yangzhou City.
All the main and supporting roles opened by the era are all in place, and an old era, an old dynasty, will start from this moment and come to an end.
But with the variable of Lindao, the road ahead is also beginning to become confusing......
