When he went out shopping in the morning and came back at night, he still had a newly healed wound on his body, Ye Zhiqiu's encounter today was too mysterious, and it quickly attracted the attention of Xuan Degong and others.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that he couldn't lie, so he picked up the truth and told the point, talking about the loose cultivation alliance lurking in the streets and alleys of the market and secretly operating.

When Liu Bei and the others heard this, they still didn't believe it at first, but when Ye Zhiqiu revealed more than a dozen wounds on his limbs, the tender red new flesh was very different from the surrounding skin, and the cuts were hideous like centipedes crawling on his body.

After all, after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Guanzhang and the others deduced a little in their hearts, and they knew that what Ye Zhiqiu said was true, he was really ambushed by someone with a heart, and it was still a dangerous situation that never stopped.

"Being able to repel those scattered cultivators, Brother Ye's Taoism is also quite good. These days, you can recuperate in the inn with peace of mind, and you are not allowed to go out to hang out again. ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly, and then showed a sleepy look on his face, Liu Bei knew that the injured needed to rest more, so he got up and left unhurriedly, and before leaving, he also instructed the guys in the inn to let the kitchen prepare some medicinal food to nourish blood and qi.

When Liu Bei walked out of the room, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but say: "I will have a little shallow qi looking technique, I couldn't help but look at it just now, what Ming Gong planned was about to be completed." It's a pity that this matter has cost a lot of blessings, and you have to be careful when you see your fortune fall one after another. ”

Xuande Gong turned his head in surprise, he had been active in the capital for many days, the daily banquets continued, the daughter dispersed to open the way, and was committed to dredging up the relationship, he was vaguely seven or eight points sure in his heart, at this time, he was broken by Ye Zhiqiu, naturally he was surprised and happy, and he was more relieved to have high expectations for the Taoist general in his mind.

Liu Bei turned his head and thanked him, which was a kind of recognition of Ye Zhiqiu. He is always followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the mysterious effect of fate is compatible, and the three brothers join forces on the battlefield, and there is no one enemy.

This fact that is not humane to outsiders has repeatedly helped Liu Bei to turn danger into relief, and the so-called brothers work together to break the gold, so that he has no worries at all, and he is not afraid of the so-called low fortune.

During Ye Zhiqiu's recuperation, many things happened in the turbulent capital. First of all, Liu Bei finally figured it out, took the path of his mentor Lu Zhi, and made Jian Yong send many rare treasures into the palace.

For a while, the people in the capital who knew about the joints were naturally sideways, after all, there were people who spent millions of dollars to buy a false name of the three official positions to do, and no one had entered the genealogy just for the sake of fame. The people who can guess Liu Bei's thoughts are only a few palms, and among them is Ye Zhiqiu.

The second is that the body of the Han Emperor Liu Hong is getting worse and worse, indulging in pleasure and indulging in lustful years, which leads to the deterioration of his body.

Immediately afterwards, it was the ministers in the court, who moved more and more frequently with each other, and the celebrities, gate valves, and wealthy families gradually twisted into a rope. On the other hand, the relatives and eunuchs rely on the imperial power to control the most deterrent army, which seems to be monolithic, and the secret struggle is not small, not to mention that the army has long been infiltrated by civilian officials into a sieve.

Even if the Xiyuan New Army, most of the eight captains are people who are favored by civilian officials, and most of the troops are in the hands of Yuan Shao, the captain of the Central Military Academy.

Knowing that the current situation in the capital had become like this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh: "Now wait for the Han Emperor Liu Hong to die! As long as he returns to heaven and the court turmoil caused by the new emperor's accession to the throne, careerists will show their heads one after another." ”

It's a pity that Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was hollowed out by wine, cut off his pleasure, and his body improved greatly due to the method of recuperation, which really annoyed many people with a heart.

The gossip from the palace, this matter is not simple, it is said that a Qi refiner from Zhongnan Mountain, to the Han Emperor Liu Hongjin offered a longevity gourd related, the specific shape is not the size of a palm, amber citrine texture, containing a red pill, full of herb essence, not swallowed whole, but soaked in warm water, blended into a jade liquid, after taking it will multiply the vitality.

After Ye Zhiqiu learned of this, he was also dumbfounded: "It's not that there is a dragon qi law forbidden in the Central Plains and Kyushu, and the immortal true mana will not be able to be used." Besides, the law does not add nobles, let alone being the true dragon emperor, it simply has the aura of breaking all the Dao laws. Even if it is a nine-turn elixir, it is a scum with no spiritual effect in front of the emperor. Is this person really a Qi Refiner?"

The news that came later became more and more bizarre. This Qi refiner of Zhongnan Mountain, after offering the longevity gourd and the elixir, took this as a condition to borrow the collection of books in the inner courtyard of the palace. In just one day, he read all the classics, including the collection of hundreds of schools of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of which are rare and rare books in the world. By the morning of the second day, the Qi Refiner waved his sleeves and floated away.

"The Qi Refiner of Zhongnan Mountain? Could it be the Yunzhongzi of the Jade Pillar Cave? The Great Tribulation has not yet begun, and the Dragon Qi Law Prohibition has not collapsed, he actually dares to go down the mountain and enter the core of the capital. Taking such a big risk, just to renew the life of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, what does he want to do?"

Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled, and simply stopped thinking about it, after a few days of careful recuperation, not only did he completely dredge the meridians, but also used the acupuncture technique taught by Chen Lun, a disciple of three generations, and the strange poison in the "Five Poisons True Scripture", to open up twenty-three acupuncture points and master a nirvana of dual cultivation of law and martial arts.

After getting started, Ye Zhiqiu tried to practice a few times, not to mention the mainstream wrought iron armor at this time, even the iron shield inlaid with cowhide, could not stop his unbreakable fingers.

"Originally, I wanted to look at the scorpion's star map and name this move the Scarlet Poison Needle, but this name is too out of tune, and it is more appropriate to reverse the horse pile poison, which can be regarded as one of my greatest expectations! ”

After recovering to his heyday, he practiced a new Dao method according to the secret method of the "Five Poisons True Scripture", Ye Zhiqiu felt that his strength had greatly improved, but after repeated introspection in his heart, he felt that his Taoism was not high enough to cope with the upcoming troubled times, so he began to practice the "Five Poison Beads" internally.

After all, he used a tricky method to open up the twenty-three acupuncture points, although the self-use acupuncture technique was extremely extraordinary, more or less there were residual poisons that had not been removed, just using the five poison beads to regulate and transform, replacing the old with the new every day, always keeping the body vibrant, and the blood and qi always vigorous and lively.

Ye Zhiqiu works hard every day, and this silent diligence and hard work has attracted the attention of Zhang Yide, who is obsessed with martial arts, but the two of them have very little leisure time, and there are not many opportunities to calm down and learn. Moreover, Zhang Fei must closely follow Liu Bei, the eldest brother of the rebellion, and always protect the leader of the emerging military and political group in Zhuo County.

Time slipped away unconsciously, and the New Year was coming in a blink of an eye, and according to the old practice, there would be large-scale worship activities to the sky and ancestors. There are officially organized celebrations in the field, and there are special people in charge of plowing and whipping spring oxen, and the performance is more intense, but the atmosphere is still quite serious, after all, everyone is looking forward to a good harvest.

Driven by curiosity, Ye Zhiqiu blended in with the crowd out of the city, and felt that his vision was obstructed, so he walked to the edge and saw a group of people singing and dancing, they were wearing dyed animal skins and strange masks, as if they were performing some kind of large-scale ritual.

Leading the way in front is the four-eyed golden bear Fang Xiang, followed by the bird's beak of Feng Bo Feilian and the rain master Shang Yang, followed by the gods of the mountains and rivers, driving away several "evil ghosts" wearing evil masks and wearing robes, implying to drive away disasters and bad luck.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the masks of the evil ghosts, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "The three corpses and five ghosts of the ghost path are all in it, and it seems that none of them are in it." That's right, the fierce gods and evil ghosts of ancient times, there were Xingtian who disobeyed the king's orders, Nulu who brought drought and famine, and the king of the ghost clan, so they were expelled by the righteous gods, and even compiled into such a large-scale ceremony, which has continued to this day. ”

In addition, there are also people who play the role of evil gods such as poor gods, declining gods, and mourning gods, and are picked up by the people around them and thrown at them with stones and clods, which also has the meaning of expulsion, and can be said to be a large-scale event in which the whole people participate.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but immerse himself in it, experiencing the details, accompanied by the desolate drums, the ancestors of the road to open the mountains and forests, the seeds of the fire from generation to generation, and constantly forge ahead, all kinds of hardships, as well as the yearning for a better life, are all in the exorcism ceremony.

I don't know when it started, Ye Zhiqiu was already in tears, and secretly swore in his heart: "I want to protect this era!"
