Chapter 2 Landscape Survival Road

Xie Mingzhou endured his grief and found a good place in front of the mountain and buried his master, only to find that he had no relatives and no way out!

He saw that at this time, the bandits in Tongchuan Mansion were rampant, the people were not happy, and he had not yet reached the realm of Bigu by refining qi, so he had to flee to Zunyi Mansion with the displaced people, hoping to find food and not be starved to death!

The little boy's surname is Du Mingqi, and he is also from Tongchuan Mansion, all his relatives in the family died, and he fled with the homeless people alone, because he was young and weak, he was tied up by a few hungry and panicked homeless, and he was going to be stripped and washed and cooked to eat!

Fortunately, Xie Mingzhou passed by here, killed a few homeless people and saved his life, and since then he has followed Xie Mingzhou and fled all the way to this Luzhou Mansion.

Du Qi escaped with a frightened life, grateful, and saw that he was good at kung fu, if he learned this martial art in this troubled world, he could also save his own life, so he pestered Xie Mingzhou to apprentice.

Xie Mingzhou saw that his essence was pure and his qualifications were acceptable, so he agreed to him, but he was only respectful, and now he did not worship the master, so he was not allowed to call him master.

When the two returned to the city, they turned around and came to a dilapidated house on the back street, and an old woman with gray hair came out and shouted, "Mingzhou, Du Qi, you are back." Then he happily picked up the fish and went to the kitchen to stew soup.

This old woman and Xie Mingzhou have no relatives and no reason, they are residents in Luzhou Mansion, called Liu Yang's, the family originally had two sons and a daughter, ten years ago (Chongzhen seven years) Zhang Xianzhong's Liumin Army fought Luzhou for the first time (at that time, it was not the founding of the country and called the emperor, not called the Great Western Army), the daughter was taken captive by the Liumin Army, and she committed suicide by being humiliated and thrown into the river.

The two sons were also coerced away, and their lives and deaths are still unknown, and Yang Laohan died when he robbed grain in Luzhou after the exile army captured Chongqing last year.

When Xie Mingzhou first came to Luzhou, this Liu Yang was already hungry to death, Xie Mingzhou couldn't bear to see her starve to death, so he had no choice but to go down to the river to catch fish, saving Liu Yang's life, and since then he has lived in her house, picking some wild vegetables every day, catching some fish and shrimp, and barely getting by.

According to Taoism, these five meat and three disgusting things should not be eaten, "Sun Zhenren Health Song" cloud: "The geese are orderly and the dogs are righteous, and the black carp is courteous to the north." People are rude and righteous and eat it, and the gods of heaven and earth do not like it. ”

But now in this world, the bark of the grass roots and trees has been eaten to the core, if you still keep the three refuges and five precepts, the five meat and three hate, wouldn't you starve to death?

After a while, Liu Yang brought fish soup up, and after the three of them ate the fish, they drank the soup empty, still feeling hungry.

Liu Yang sighed: "It's the old woman who dragged you down, if it weren't for me, the two of you would have enough to eat." ”

Xie Mingzhou wiped his mouth and said: "Auntie, don't say that, our mother and wife can be here today because of fate, and besides, we live in this house, so we should get some food." ”

Liu Yang said: "Mingzhou, if it weren't for you, Du Qi and I would not even be able to drink a sip of soup, which is really bitter for you...... I haven't even been able to pick wild vegetables in the past two days, so how will I live in the future?"

Xie Mingzhou said: "I heard that the Great Western Army has fled to Zunyi Mansion to join the Ming Army, and the government will definitely send people to come to the relief by then, so we will have a good time surviving this time." ”

"Auntie, don't think too much, tomorrow we will go farther, go to the Nine Lions Mountain, and then pick more wild vegetables, and then I will go into the mountains to hunt some wild things, as much as we can eat." ”

Xie Mingzhou thought for a while and said: "Du Qi has been with me for these days, and I have also helped him open the nine tricks, which is regarded as entering my Daomen, and now he always calls me master, but he has not bowed, so that the ancestor knows the blame, it is better to enter the mountain tomorrow, hunt more prey as a thank you gift, invite the third master to come, and carry out this worship ceremony." ”

Next to him, Du Qi jumped and said: "I want it, I want it, tomorrow I will go into the mountain with the master, I will go to pick wild fruits and vegetables, and the master will go to hunt wild animals!"

Liu Yang also said: "Then dare to be kind, tomorrow you will hunt the prey, and I will find someone to be the third master, so as not to make others laugh without thanks." ”

The three of them made up their minds, Xie Mingzhou finished washing, returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to do the exercises. However, I sat for a long time and couldn't calm down.

In front of me for a while, the fire burned the Qin Zhenguan, and for a while, I was starving all over the field, thinking about it, but I thought of what the master said before he died: "Good apprentice, I am going to see the ancestor for the master, and the Taoist temple was destroyed in my hands, I really have no shame to see the ancestor master!"

"You have good qualifications and understanding, and you can learn anything quickly, but your mind is uncertain! In the future, if you sharpen your Dao heart, your achievements will definitely surpass Master! Master, I have just married the Chu Dan, and I don't know what the scene will be after the Jindan is completed?......

Xie Mingzhou burst into tears, just looked straight at the master, and couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Xie Mingzhou came to his senses, wiped the tears on his face, patted his head lightly, and muttered: "It's so dangerous, I almost entered the magic barrier!"

When I got out of bed, I looked over the sound, but it was the rat that knocked over the bowl on the stove.

As a result, Xie Mingzhou had no intention of practicing again.

A year ago, Xie Mingzhou's fetal breath recipe has been practiced to the point of aging disease, the words old and sick are to describe breathing, "old" means that the breathing has reached an extremely long point, and only needs to breathe ten times an hour.

The "disease" is more divided into two steps, first inhale but not exhale, the inhaled qi is transformed into true qi through practice, stored in the lower dantian, and then exhale without inhaling after the qi induction kung fu reaches a certain level, and exhale the waste qi after the transformation of true qi out of the body.

Xie Mingzhou has reached an hour where he only needs to breathe in or breathe in only a dozen times, in fact, this stage has been completed, but he is always short of the last kick, and he can't enter the realm of "death" in the next step.

This "death" is actually to the extent that you don't need to breathe through the mouth and nose, that is, what Lao Tzu called "qi is soft", and when it is soft to the extreme, there is no breathing, just like a baby in the womb, turning to internal breathing and entering the innate state!

Xie Mingzhou had no intention of practicing, so he simply prepared the things he needed to go up the mountain tomorrow.

He took out a broken knife that he had picked up and sharpened it in the stove room, and the master originally left a sword for him, but he was reluctant to use it and kept it in the room.

He went to the riverside and cut a bamboo, breaking the hardest part near the root and cutting it into a bamboo nail the thickness of his little finger and more than two inches long.

Since he practiced true qi, he often cut this kind of bamboo nails and ran around, the hares on the mountain behind the Taoist temple, and the fish in the Qiongjiang River all suffered, and later he was found and beaten by the master, and he was punished for copying the scriptures for three days, which was relentless.

Now back to the old business, dry up is familiar with the way, after a while to cut dozens of bamboo nails, packed in a bamboo tube, just a little tail exposed, easy to take.

I cut two more bamboo tubes, so that I could fill them on the waterway tomorrow and drink them. I wanted to shoot a fish and go back to eat it at night, but I had no choice but to give up, but I never thought that which fish would come out to bask in the sun at this time?

On the second day, just after the end of the day, the master and apprentice had already packed up, Xie Mingzhou carried two bamboo tubes, which were filled with water, and tied a short bamboo tube with bamboo nails and a cloth bag tied around his waist, which was filled with fire sickle flint and wormwood, and then found a rag to wrap the broken knife and carry it in his hand.

Du Qi carried a bundle of hemp rope on his shoulders and a bamboo basket, and the two of them hurried to the Nine Lion Mountain.
