Chapter 6: Stay Alive

After entering the meditation, Zhang Qing really felt the internal qi, not only the upper and lower two strands of true qi, but also a thin layer of internal qi in the sea of qi that Zhang Shanyi had cultivated by himself. After Zhang Qing merged the two strands of true qi into a new internal qi, he followed the route and operated Zhou Tian. He could clearly feel the internal qi passing through the various meridians, but some of them were smooth and some were suffocating.

Zhang Qing knew that this was because Zhang Shanyi had only completed one-third of the foundation building, and the Zhang family foundation building method had at least thirty percent less running meridians than the Heavenly Sword foundation building method, even if Zhang Shanyi had completed the foundation building, Zhang Qing would have to do it again. Now it's just a little time saved.

Sure enough, the internal qi that returned to the sea of qi after a week of operation was lively and lively, pure and refined, far from being as impure and lifeless as the original internal qi in the sea of qi. Zhang Qing opened his eyes, and while feeling the warm and comfortable energy of his whole body after the exercise, he decided to expel all the original internal qi and replace it with a new Heavenly Dao internal qi.

Zhang Qing touched his stomach and felt hungry again, so he had to drag the cake and drinking water next to him to eat and drink. It is said that the true qi is self-generated, but in fact, it still has to consume the energy of the physical body to turn into true qi, and it is said that after being born, you can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate true yuan, but Zhang Qing has never seen it. He still has to eat honestly to provide energy.

Zhang Qing felt that he had underestimated the amount of food he had, on the one hand, he had to provide what he needed to practice, and on the other hand, it was the time for him to grow his body, and this bit of food seemed to be difficult to survive today, which made him deeply realize that the first task now was not to practice, but to find food first.

He decided to take advantage of the fact that he was full of energy now, and quickly walked around the neighborhood to see if there was anything that could fill his stomach, so that he would not be hungry and could not move by then, and it would be too late to think about it. It just so happened that his clothes were already dry, and he put on shabby clothes, and his hair was scattered, and he really looked like a little beggar, just a little cleaner.

Zhang Qing first stuffed the silver and the remaining drinking water back into the Buddha's stomach, and then blocked it with mud blocks, and then went out of the temple gate and walked around.

Since he was in a coma before, he didn't know that Li Qi had dumped his and the beggar's corpses, making the Tinghe Gang think he was dead. He was still afraid that there were Tinghe Gang members searching for him around him, so Zhang Qing didn't dare to go too far from the broken temple, and even looked around when he walked, for fear of meeting others.

As a child who has lived in a big city since he was a child, he really doesn't know any wild fruits and vegetables, and Zhang Shanyi is pampered, and he hasn't even been out of Huinan Mansion a few times. So he didn't dare to run into the surrounding woods, so he had to follow the river upstream. Because Zhang Qing had seen some messy introductions before, saying that it was best to find food by the river, and many waterfowl were used to nesting by the river. In addition, it is close to the mountains, so there are few people who come, so there must be abundant fish resources.

After walking more than a mile forward, I was lucky to find a small stream in front of me, which should be a low-lying place, and the water in the river seeped into this side, forming a small stream. Zhang Qing hurriedly went over to look into the stream, the water was not deep, and the flow speed was not fast, but there were many swimming fish in it, which made Zhang Qing overjoyed.

But after he was happy, he began to worry again: he didn't have fishing gear, and he couldn't fish!

Suddenly seeing the dagger in his hand, Zhang Qing, who was a top medical student, began to spin rapidly. Since there is a sharp iron tool, why not connect it to a tree branch and make a harpoonfish?

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately searched around and cut a branch the thickness of a finger. As a hand is small, I can just hold it. Zhang Qing then trimmed and smoothed the branches, and then cut two thin vines from the ground next to him as ropes, and then sat on the ground and tied them.

One of the advantages of a doctor is that his hands are steady and dexterous, and he can basically do a good job of tying knots and tethers, so after a while, a freshly baked dagger harpoon is ready. Because Zhang Qing is short, this harpoon is not big, and it looks a little petite and cute.

Zhang Qing rushed to the stream with a harpoon, first took off his shoes and put them aside, and then rolled up his trouser legs and walked down carefully. Maybe it's summer, the sun is hanging brightly in the sky, the stream is not cold, and the fish in the water are swimming lazily and slowly.

Then Zhang Qing was slapped in the face, the swimming fish in the water was much more flexible than him, and he didn't get a single one after working for more than half an hour, but he was tired and had a sore back. In the end, I finally remembered the refraction of light that I had learned before, and learned to use the shallow internal qi in the sea of qi to increase the strength and speed of my hands, and only then did I insert three big fat fish with a length of three feet when the sun was in the west.

After coming back, Zhang Qing rummaged through the small bag and found that there was a fire fold inside, so he happily went to the temple and dragged a few handfuls of hay, picked up a few broken woods, and lit a fire in the temple.

To be honest, Zhang Qing's cooking level is not bad, so these fish are grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, although there is no other taste, but Zhang Qing, who has meat to eat, still stuffed the fish into his stomach.

After eating, Zhang Qing thought while eating, although he didn't worry about eating meat, but the most important thing was that there was no salt. As a doctor, he knew that it was okay not to eat salt for a day or two, and if he didn't take salt for more than a week, he would be weak and unmotivated, let alone practicing.

He also thought that he was really not good at surviving in the wild, and if he was forced to live here, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble, and it would be irresponsible for his life to delay time. It's better to sneak back to Huinan Mansion while you're healthy.

Although Zhang Qing didn't know that the Tinghe Gang thought he was dead, he didn't see the searchers nearby, and when he woke up, he found that he had been changed, so he estimated that Li Qi might have used some golden cicada to save his life. Besides, the base camp of the Tinghe Gang is Tingyin Mansion, and they came to commit crimes across the mansion this time, although the lord of Huinan Mansion is not their opponent in terms of force, but after all, he has an official identity.

The Tinghe Gang did this kind of big case in Huinan Mansion, and it must be to deal with the mansion master, but after all, the family's death can't be covered up, and the mansion owner will also make gestures on the surface, so the Tinghe Gang will not stay in Huinan for too long.

Li Qi and they fled for five days before, this time was enough for the Tinghe Gang to scrape out the oil and water of Zhang Ling's family, and now there must not be many people from the Tinghe Gang in Huinan Mansion, at most a few minions will be left to monitor the follow-up.

And Zhang Ling, Li Qi, the acquired masters of the Zhang family who attracted attention, have all died, and Zhang Shanyi, who is a son, is not noticeable, because he goes out less, and there are not many people in the city who know him. Now that he is dressed as a beggar, the possibility of being found is even lower. The worst thing is that he can still go to the surrounding counties to stay, but this is easy to expose, because the ground in Huinan is really poor, and the counties below are all lower counties, and it is estimated that the beggars in their counties know each other, and it is easier for a strange little beggar to appear suddenly.

Thinking of it, Zhang Qing took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright, and ran to the stream to catch more than a dozen fish, and then put them on the fire to smoke, so that by tomorrow a large part of the water can be removed, so that they can be stored for a few more days, which is considered food on the road.

If you want to go back, you have to go back as soon as possible, because Zhang Qing doesn't know the way, so she can only go to find Li Qi and follow the route of their escape. Since the Tinghe Gang was chased by a group of people, it must have left obvious traces, which can still be found in the past few days. If it takes a while, with the speed of plant growth this summer, it will return to its original state in less than half a month, and Zhang Qing will be trapped and die here.

Zhang Qing thought about his plan and felt that there was no big loophole, so he sat down cross-legged again and began to operate the foundation building method Now there is no time to wait, just seize the day.

The next day, Zhang Qing wrapped the fish in a large leaf, wrapped it in Li Qi's clothes, and walked downstream with his back, because he found no traces of people upstream yesterday.

Sure enough, after walking less than a mile, he saw a small path facing the river, and he hurriedly ran over it. Although it had rained the night before, due to being stepped on too much, there were still a lot of footprints, so Zhang Qing was sure that this was the way to go. This road should be a path opened by the hunters, which was convenient for both sides to chase and escape at that time, and now it is also convenient for Zhang Qing to go back.
