Practicing qi for the first time is equivalent to piling water into a stream, breaking the ground and opening a channel, and the qi training method of Hunyuan Shengong is a two-pronged approach, doing two things at once, which is more difficult and time-consuming. It is estimated that at least one time is required.

But he was currently on the border of Yuzhou, and there were plains as far as he could see. It was not easy to find a suitable place to practice Qi. He could only keep an eye out and look for it along the way.

Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. The people who suffer the most in troubled times are the people. After entering the territory of Yuzhou, the number of victims fleeing on the road has increased significantly. However, the situation of starving to death has not yet occurred. The reason is that the grain is almost mature at this time.

, the hungry people are so hungry that they steal along the way. If there are those who steal, there are those who watch. Almost all rice fields are guarded day and night by experienced farmers holding farm tools.

One of the reasons why the fields were diverted to main roads.

The art of Qihuang pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding. He studied Qianjin Yifang, which is very mysterious. He can know what kind of diseases the victims passing by are suffering from without asking for pulses. However, he did not carry any medicine with him, so even if he saw it, he could not take action.

For treatment, we can only give them some of the rice grains we bought from Seoul. We cannot give it to every disaster victim. We will only give it to those who see that they will starve to death if they don't eat.

The grain was distributed to the victims, and it was easy for him to eat whatever he wanted. However, Master Hei's wet nurse had no fine grains, and her milk production was significantly reduced. Master Hei's three feet of intestines were already idle for two and a half feet. This time, without milk, he became even more emaciated.

, it had seen a goat being milked and knew where the milk came from. It was very hungry and went over to milk the ewe.

The black master was highly poisonous, and he was worried that the wet nurse would be poisoned to death by the black master. He was also worried that the black master would run around after he started practicing qi, so he began to put the reins on him. No one likes to be restrained, and the same is true for livestock. At first,

The black boy was unwilling and had to resist and struggle, but after a few days he got used to it. He was led by him when he was on the road, and he stayed where he was tied when he was resting.

After searching for several days, he still couldn't find a suitable place to practice Qi. At this time, his dry food and rice grains had already been exhausted. At dawn, he saw a large city ahead, so he led the black master and the ewe to quickly

Go in steps.

There are usually some temples or inns used for sacrifices outside the city, and this place is no exception. However, there have been wars here before, the inns have been damaged, and most of the houses have collapsed.

When he saw the dilapidated inn, he walked in. There was a forest behind the inn where you could hide if necessary.

The inn was already overgrown with weeds, and there were obvious signs of lodging on the weeds, indicating that someone had been here not long ago.

There were no doors or windows in the east wing of the inn. I walked to the window to look inside. When I saw clearly what was going on in the room, I broke into a cold sweat. There were several Beggar Clan disciples in the room, some sitting against the wall and some lying down.

On the ground.

Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he looked again, only to find that these Beggar Clan disciples were pale in appearance, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and seemed to be dead.

After calming down and taking a closer look, I saw that there were no bonfire ashes on the ground in the east chamber, there were no signs of fighting nearby, and there was no food left around the bodies. This shows that these Beggar Clan disciples were not killed here.

But he moved here after being killed.

Naturally, we couldn't stay in this place. After a short observation, we hurriedly left, leading Mr. Hei and the ewe to the city.

The ancients said that those who kill will be killed. The Beggar Clan has done many evil things, and it is not surprising that they lost their lives when encountering difficulties. He has seen what the Beggar Clan does, and he has no sympathy for these dead Beggar Clan disciples.

He originally wanted to find a secluded inn in the city, but after discovering the bodies of the Beggar Clan disciples, he gave up the idea. With the Beggar Clan disciples nearby, it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

Wherever there is a war, rice is expensive, but he still has a lot of silver. He bought dozens of kilograms of rice, millet and millet, and also bought a lot of sesame cakes and fried cakes to carry on his back. He couldn't eat so much himself, so it was for

Prepare for disaster victims you may encounter along the way

of.

He originally wanted to buy some medicine, but in the end he refused. The medicines in the drug store were very expensive, and he could find most of them in the mountains and fields along the way.

Leaving the city and continuing north, I began to look for commonly used medicinal herbs on the way. When I encountered a seriously ill victim, I would not only give some food, but also some medicinal herbs by the way.

On the way, he would meet people on horseback from time to time. Whenever he met someone of the same kind, Mr. Hei would be very excited and always wanted to compare his foot power with others.

Seeing this situation, I began to worry about the future of Mr. Black. This guy is full of poison. Even if he grows up, he will not be able to marry and have children. Anyone who gets close to him will be poisoned to death by him.

If you encounter some detoxification drugs along the way, you will force-feed them, but they are of no use at all. No matter how many detoxification drugs are stuffed in, the black man will still urinate black. This shows that its toxicity comes from itself and does not need external supplements.

Likewise, taking medication to detoxify has no effect on it.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up. The black master is destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He is now a black master and will become a black father-in-law when he grows up.

If he was alone, it would be easier to find a hidden place. The key is that there are horses and sheep around him, and the target is too big, making it even more difficult to find a hidden hiding place.

You can't walk very far in a day. Although Mr. Hei is thin, he can still keep up with him. The one who is slowing him down now is Mr. Hei's wet nurse. The two big granaries are swaying as they walk.

Black Young Master is very smart and knows where the rations come from. Sometimes when hungry people approach the ewe and ask for milk, he will go up and kick the ewe. If the ewe doesn't back away, it will grin and try to bite the ewe.

Most of Black Young Master's teeth are the same as those of other horses, but two teeth near the corners of his mouth turn into sharp canine teeth, which are revealed when he grins. It's really scary to see him unexpectedly.

The Black Master was not only frightening outsiders, he was also almost frightened to death by it a few nights later. That night, under the bright moon, he slept in the open air. Because he was worried, he closed his eyes and thought about something. At the second watch, he vaguely heard some noise, and then

When I opened my eyes and looked around, I found Mr. Black biting the rope.

After noticing that he had opened his eyes, Young Master Hei immediately stopped, turned his head to the side, and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Feeling interesting, I squinted my eyes and took a peek.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Young Master Hei started biting the rope again. It wouldn't be surprising if he just chewed. After watching for a while, he found that Young Master Hei was actually untying the rope, and Young Master Hei actually remembered the order in which he had tied the bundle before.

Untying a simple rope buckle may not seem like much to a human, but Black Master is a horse. It can actually remember how to tie the rope buckle, and can reverse it and bite it open again with its teeth. This is terrifying.

.

What happened next was even more shocking. After unbuckling the rope, Young Master Hei tiptoed out. He kept peeking at him as he walked. It wasn't until he was more than ten feet away that he was sure that he wouldn't be disturbed.

jump up.

After playing enough and tired of running, Mr. Black sneaked back again. He was able to bite the rope and tie himself up again. The rope buckle he tied was exactly the same as the one he tied. It felt that the rope buckle was looser.

, and also knows how to hold his head high and pull him back.

Fortunately, Young Master Hei was just running around and didn't do anything he shouldn't have done. Otherwise, he would have been frightened to death by it. Even so, he felt creepy. This guy was already too smart.

The horse is gone.

Being so familiar with the road shows that this is not the first time it has done something similar. No wonder it has been so docile in recent times. It turns out that it was building a plank road in the open and sleeping in the warehouse secretly.

Dawn the next day

, and took off the reins from Young Master Black’s neck. This guy is too smart to be tied down. He has to rely on his self-consciousness. Blindly distrusting him and restraining him will only arouse his resentment.

I have the habit of talking to livestock. After I took off the reins of Mr. Hei, I started talking to him more frequently. Although Mr. Hei couldn’t speak, he seemed to be able to understand his words. If I let him come back, he would come back. I would not tie him up at night.

She no longer ran around, and even when she was fed late, she didn't go to nuzzle the ewe.

After entering Yuzhou, the number of monks I saw along the way increased significantly. Chen Liqiu had previously said that the Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, was in Yuzhou, so it was not surprising to see monks on the road.

Yuzhou just has fewer mountains than other places, not that there are no mountains at all. After walking for a few days, I finally saw a huge pine forest. It had rained earlier. When I saw the pine forest, I habitually went in to pick up pine mushrooms.

He originally thought that there were many disaster victims nearby, and even if there were pine mushrooms growing in the forest, they had been picked up by others. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of pine mushrooms under the forest, and he picked up seven or eight of them not far away.

I was looking down and suddenly found something reflecting light in the grass not far away. I walked over and saw that it was a knife. I picked it up and looked at it. I found that the cloth strip wrapped around the handle was dry, which meant that the knife was

It fell here after it rained.

He was holding a knife and looking doubtfully at it. At a glance, he found a few people lying in the grass in front of him. He bravely walked over and took a look. They were all dead people, piled up in a mess. There were more than ten people. Judging from their clothes, they were all dead.

, they should be reckless bandits.

These people had not been dead long, and the blood at the corners of their mouths had not yet dried.

After a short wait and see, he ran back to the main road and left quickly. He was terrified as he walked. He didn't know who killed these thieves, but if these thieves were not killed, he would definitely be attacked when he passed by.

their interception.

After walking a hundred feet, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped immediately, pondered for a moment, turned around and walked back, re-entering the jungle and carefully looking at the corpses. He did not want to turn over the corpses, but just circled the corpses and looked at them one by one.

There were no external injuries on the bodies of these corpses. The signs of death of all the corpses were bleeding from the orifices, and there were no signs of poisoning on them. This means that they were all shocked to death by someone using spiritual energy.

The Beggar Clan disciples I saw in the abandoned inn were also dead in the same manner. Could it be that they were all killed by the same person?

If these two groups of people were killed by the same person, then there are two possibilities. One is that there are people practicing martial arts walking around the world, doing chivalry and righteousness, and taking action to eliminate harm for the people when they encounter evil people and bandits.

Another possibility is that this person has been secretly protecting himself, whether he is killing Beggar Clan disciples or these bandits, all to help him eliminate threats.

As for the specific situation, it is not yet certain whether it is necessary to be cautious or cautious, and whether to be cautious or cautious.

After walking for a few days with full of doubts, I accidentally discovered a lonely house in the grassland on the west side of the road. There are usually only three houses where people live, but there are at least nine in that house, and the roof is higher than ordinary houses.

About a foot away, there is a courtyard wall outside and no side rooms on either side.

The house was about two miles away from the main road. It had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Weeds had grown on the walls and roof, and the surrounding area was waist-high in weeds.

There was no path leading to the dilapidated house on the road, and there were no traces of being trampled on the weeds on the roadside, which meant that neither passers-by nor the fleeing victims had set foot in that area.

As for why everyone didn't go there to take shelter from the rain and spend the night, the reason was very simple. The dilapidated house was an abandoned charity village, and all charity villages in the north were of this type.

While walking, he kept looking at the Yi Zhuang. Although sleeping in the wilderness was a common occurrence for him, he was still a little scared to live in Yi Zhuang. After all, Yi Zhuang was a place where foreigners were parked.

If the corpse place was still in use, he wouldn't be too afraid. The key point is that the charity village has been abandoned. God knows what caused it to be abandoned.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to go to Nayizhuang for a day. He already knew the Qi training method of Hunyuan Sheng Gong. All he had to do next was to follow the diagram and follow the current. Walking in the world without spiritual Qi cultivation was like a blind man riding a horse.

Danger may occur at any time, and once danger occurs, you have no power to protect yourself.

That Yizhuang was indeed scary, but it was precisely because it was terrifying and eerie that no one dared to go there. He must not be disturbed in any way when he was practicing Qi. After careful consideration, that Yizhuang was the most suitable place to practice Qi.

Place.

He made up his mind and wanted to go to the west. He took a step and then pulled back. He took the black boy and the ewe and walked straight there. He would definitely leave obvious trampling marks in the grass. He had to move forward.

Walk a few miles and find a suitable location to go around.

After walking for two or three miles, I encountered several big trees with few weeds under them. I entered from here, walked west and then south, and came to the back wall of Yizhuang first.

The Yizhuang, like the temple, has no rear windows, so you can't see what's going on inside from the back. When you go around to the main entrance, you find that the dilapidated door is still locked, and there are some faded and mottled charms attached to the door.

At this time, the sun was already in the west, and a gust of mountain wind blew, causing a cold war.
