Chapter 4: Steamed buns made with heart
"This is the Grand Canal, it's such a great project."
Shibi Khan opened his mouth wide. Although it was Turkic Khan, he looked like a local bun at this moment.
They are in Yong'an County, which has entered the jurisdiction of Jiannan Road, but are still close to the border. However, due to the obstruction of a mountain range, wind and sand cannot invade every grass and tree here, which instead creates a magnificent scenery of the Dead Desert and the Vitality Jungle.
Yong'an County is the first county town after the jungle, and it can also be said to be one of the ends of the Grand Canal.
"Can you keep a low profile? It's hard to say whether those killers will catch up again." Zuo Zhou handed over two buns to Shibi Khan.
"It's mainly too shocking."
Zuozhou looked at the rippling river water. It was just a tributary among the tributaries. The width was only two or three meters long. It was difficult for you to associate it with the word "great".
Shibi Khan looked at the doubt on Zuo Zhou's face, and his tone was full of yearning, "You don't understand, you don't understand the admiration of Qin Emperor from all countries. How many kings can stop fighting and stop at the moment of unstoppable power? No one thinks he is stupid, even if we are enemies, this does not affect our respect for him!"
Zuo Zhou turned his head silently, his eyes fell on the river, but he remembered the changes in the current situation over the years.
In the year when these exiles were born, Qin Huang Zheng Ge ascended the throne and started a ten-year conquest. Countless countries fell under the iron hoof of the Qin Dynasty.
However, just when everyone thought that the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Turks, Qing, etc. would be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty within three years, the Qin Emperor ordered the withdrawal of troops and stopped the ten-year conquest.
That year, Zuo Zhou was exactly ten years old.
No one knows the reason, and no one cares about the reason. All countries are afraid that too much exploration will anger the "evil dragon" again. They are just looking forward to his death soon. Only in this way can they sleep!
Now six years have passed, and the Qin Emperor's temper seems to be particularly gentle in these six years. He emphasizes culture and promotes education, builds roads and rivers to carry out infrastructure, and governs with clear and clear governments, which is what the people want.
Even if there are occasional frictions at the border, the Qin Emperor will choose peace talks first and then trial according to law, and it seems unwilling to start the war easily.
"You said, why would anyone want to assassinate the Turkic mission?"
Zuo Zhou's words made Shibi Khan stunned for a moment, and then he looked like a frightened mouse, sneaked around and placed his index finger on his lips, "You can speak softly, can you ordinary people talk about national affairs?"
Zuozhou (;¬_¬)
"Forget it, get ready to get on the boat." Zuo Zhou said as he walked towards the pier ahead, and several men carrying large bags were unloading the goods up and down.
"Oh, it's getting dark now. We don't have to be so anxious. I haven't slept well these days." Shibi Khan said and touched his stomach, and even screamed twice in response, "Hungry!"
"I've given you a bun, have you eaten the dog's belly?"
Shibi Khan turned his head pitifully, and saw a noble man in blue clothes on the steps not far away, surrounded by his servants and threw buns into the pile of beggars.
Zuo Zhou's old face turned red, but fortunately, there was nothing on his face dirty, "Ahem, everyone uses copper coins, and I took out the broken silver and it was a bit conspicuous. Besides, the buns were also freshly released and not dirty."
Shibi Khan didn't make any unreasonable noise and just nodded, "I know, but this bun is really not hungry. It's small and has a vegetarian filling. It also contains a lot of air, which almost burns me."
This is a bit embarrassing. After all, they are used to give alms to beggars. Can you expect them to make it more attentively?
"Okay, then let's rent a boat and park it in the river section in front tonight, so that the sailors are on the boat, so there is no need to worry about someone leaking the news."
Zuo Zhou compromised. After all, the Turkic Khan in front of him was really wronged. He would be unable to bear it and take care of it.
"Listen to you, the left guard is indeed thoughtful!"
Zuo Zhou ignored him and went to rent a boat. Although the money was broken, he had a lot of purchasing power in this small county and township. The broken silver with his nails made the boat owner happy, and he even prepared good wine and dishes to entertain them at night.
This made Shibi Khan very happy. He could feel tears in his eyes while eating white rice and chicken legs. Zuo Zhou sat on the bed and turned around, without looking at him!
When a person calms down, he starts to think, whether he can practice the magic slap in the cassock?
Zuo Zhou's three chances were drawn to the third-grade archery continuous bead arrow, the third-grade internal skills Taoist health exercise, and the incomplete sword moves and eleven swords.
These third-grade archery is a powerful attack method. You can fire two arrows in succession. When the rear arrow catches up with the front arrow, it can transmit power together and thus explode with unprecedented power. This is the arrow he killed the viper before.
It’s a pity that this continuous pearl archery technique does not have the supporting internal strength, and there is no true meaning of martial arts, so it can only be divided into the third grade.
As for Taoist health care, this is a bit complaining. Although it is called internal strength, it cannot cultivate any internal strength at all!
As the name suggests, the effect of Taoist health care is health care. All internal forces cultivated are used to nourish meridians, internal organs, muscles, bones, skin and even hair.
Now Zuo Zhou is deliberately dressing up dirty so that he can look more manly in the army. If he cleans up carefully, you will find that he is also a beautiful little white-faced, and anyone who sees him will feel like he is immersive.
However, in this world, being handsome cannot protect you, on the contrary may become a disaster, so except for Old Man Zuo, basically no one has seen Zuo Zhou's beautiful appearance.
If there are any advantages of Taoist health care, it is that it can be practiced from the beginning of infants, which can be regarded as an alternative "unique skill" to lay the foundation.
The reason why it is classified into the third grade is that besides the exiles who have their own memories, which baby can practice the exercises by themselves? So what is the saying that laying the foundation from the infant stage is nonsense to the natives of this world.
There is a huge difference between practicing in infants and practicing in adolescence. After all, from birth, the human body will be affected by the environment and the internal organs will be contaminated by various filthy objects. When practicing Taoist health care, it will not nourish the internal organs, but detoxify first. I don’t know how many years it will be after the detoxification is over. Who will still learn this kind of exercise without internal energy at that time?
So now Zuo Zhou has laid a solid foundation in his body, but he urgently needs a martial art with internal strength. If it is a unique skill, it would be even better. But the magic sacrificial technique does not contain internal strength.
Then Zuo Zhou has two choices. He directly sacrificed the robes and conquered demons to continue the lottery. Will the skills obtained after a bet bring internal strength? Or wait a little longer. After all, the martial arts of Buddhism are very common, and it is relatively easy to obtain among various factions. Besides, the robes and conquer demons seem to be quite practical and a little reluctant to let it go.
Similar to sacrifice items, the sacrifice of martial arts also costs. Any sacrificed martial arts can no longer be cultivated to the realm of supernaturalization. If it cannot be practiced to the realm of supernaturalization, it will not be able to exert the artistic conception contained in the unique skills. If the moves are exquisite, it is still good. If it mainly relies on the artistic conception to produce power, then this unique skill will be considered useless.
Of course, there is no way. If you can practice some martial arts to the point of being superb, you can sacrifice at will.
As for the last sword move of Zuo Zhou...
Dong!
“…”
Zuo Zhou's contemplation was interrupted, he opened his eyes and looked at Shibi Khan in a confused look, "Are you... dead? You didn't die!"
My chicken legs... Shibi Khan collapsed to the ground, the chicken wings at the corner of his mouth slid down along the oil stains, and his vision also moved downward.
"Okay, I know you're not dead, so... is the dish poisonous? But I ate it too!" Zuo Zhou glanced at the food again, and listened at the same time. There were a few sailors outside bragging and spanking, and there was no point in coming in to rob.
