Chapter 216 The Unavoidable Jiangdu

The matter of the Zhang family in Qingyuan Town has come to an end for the time being.

If Lu Ze just came out to visit the mountains and rivers, he could mind his own business and explore the secrets behind the Zhang family.

It's just that this trip was not peaceful, and now it seems to be smooth sailing, but it's just An Xuanye's slow and disorderly rush, which really confuses many people's judgments. Once people realize it, life will be really difficult.

If you continue to stay in Qingyuan Town like this, the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the fire in the East Hospital, the medical books were burned. Even if there were any cheats in it, Lu Ze didn't care.

It can only be said that he lived in the Lu family since he was a child, and Lu Ze can be regarded as a master who has eaten and seen it, and he has no great interest in these inheritances that are left among the people.

This is even more so for An Xuanye. At her level, it is better to find a way forward by focusing on development than in chaos. Maybe the folks have masters, but they are only a few. Whether the Zhang family has this ability is another matter. .

After packing their bags, the group set off at a very fast speed without any unnecessary words of farewell.

In the final analysis, one is a noble family and the other is a general of the imperial court. They have always been polite to others. Even if they left so suddenly, the Zhang family did not dare to say a bad word.

After leaving Qingyuan Town, continue to go north, this time An Xuanye still chose the path.

Lu Ze was noncommittal about this arrangement. He continued to understand what was said in the book, often frowning and feeling helpless.

Regarding Ji Qu Naiya, these martial arts secrets are naturally used to the extreme. Perhaps the different connections between the words will produce different effects. Every sentence is extremely awkward to read, but if you think about it carefully , but you can also get different insights.

Although there are differences in the realms of this world, they are not as great as ordinary people imagine. The name is probably for the convenience of distinguishing. As for the names of the five qi realms and realms, it is also the narcissism of the first group of people.

You can't call it something like first-level, second-level, or third-level. It sounds very shameless. What do people in the world work for all their lives?Not to retreat to the mountains and become a hermit, but to become famous all over the world and gain both fame and fortune.

This is the mentality of countless young people entering the arena, in order to become famous, to become a master. As for the so-called hermits, they are all pursued in the later stage. Who wants to be a hermit master?

What's more, anyone with a little knowledge of the places where the hermits live in seclusion knows that as long as there is any major event in the world, they can be invited out in an instant. If you really want to live in seclusion without being discovered, how can there be so many hermits? human existence.

Thinking of this, Lu Ze remembered the 400-year-old Zongmen liquidation. At that time, in order to resist the imperial army, many well-known hermits and masters came out of the mountains one after another, took up swords, guns and sticks and re-entered the rivers and lakes. The end was natural. It's also as miserable as one can imagine, probably because the corpses were not separated at the end of the festival.

Talking about the five qi realm, ordinary people generally think that the five qi are the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In fact, this is not the case.The theory of the Five Elements is general and not clear. Even if it is the nature of heaven and earth, it is difficult to simply distinguish it with the Five Elements. People in the world generally refer to the five kinds of Qi, blue, white, red, black and yellow, which are real "Qi"!
Of course, this is not fabricated out of thin air. These five qi actually refer to the five organs of the human body, namely the liver, lung, heart, kidney and spleen. As the saying goes, green qi comes out of the liver, white qi comes out of the lungs, and red qi comes out of the heart. Out, the black qi comes out from the kidneys, the yellow qi comes out from the spleen, and the division of the five qi starts from the five internal organs.

There is some truth in insisting that it corresponds to the theory of the five elements, but people in the martial arts are more concerned with real things. In the end, it is a process of strengthening the viscera and thus strengthening oneself.

It can be seen that in today's world, martial arts begins with a gentle change from the inside to the outside, using the inner essence to maintain the five internal organs, thereby strengthening the body's functions, and then using different martial arts routines to achieve the inner Double cultivation, the purpose of continuous strengthening, so as to enhance one's own strength.

It is difficult to gain strength by cultivating the inside without cultivating the exterior. At most, it is just health preservation, but cultivating the exterior without cultivating the interior is a short-sighted approach. That's the right thing to do.

Although there must be some emphasis on it, but it is only the emphasis, not to give up one of them, that is not to strengthen the body, but to think that Longevity's life will be long if he hangs himself.

Thoughts were flying in Lu Ze's mind, most of them were martial arts theories that he had learned from books. The towering tree at the moment when he was backed by the Lu clan, the solid theoretical foundation he had laid since he was a child was enough to surpass those casual cultivators who were constantly struggling , This is the importance of mentoring.

This kind of ambiguity has a clear division of martial arts, which allows people to see the road ahead more accurately. As for how far they can go, it depends on personal talent and aptitude. Martial arts can never be achieved only by hard work Without this talent, even if he worked hard day and night, he would be nothing more than a second-rate warrior in the end.

The name of the secret book in his hand is unknown, but it made Lu Ze feel a little bit of the pain of reading. I just hope that the secret book in the future will not be so sloppy. It is really difficult to understand. Every sentence must be chewed carefully. Miss a word, and the meaning is very different.

I thought that practicing martial arts was just a rough job, but I didn't expect it to be an elegant thing. Those so-called gangsters who got martial arts cheats and practiced for a few years and killed the Quartet probably only appeared in the story books. Understand these things?Pure bullshit, maybe just got something low and vulgar.

For example, some low-demand horizontal martial arts, as long as you are willing to work hard and have some physical talent, you can naturally achieve something in a short period of time, but in the long run, it will be harmful to the future without any benefit , but in this world of pursuing fame and fortune, even if they can only have a moment of youth, there are naturally some people who are willing to take risks to try.

After all, being able to enjoy the wealth and splendor of time at a young age can bring more pleasure than what is still worry-free in old age. Teenagers have their own ideas of teenagers. I expect them to think about ten years from now and twenty years from now. It is better to give more money to spend more money.

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are struggling with basic necessities of life. The future and the world are all illusory things. As the saying goes, if you worry about tomorrow, you will worry about tomorrow. If you have wine today, you will naturally be drunk today. This short-term happy thought Lu Ze couldn't tell exactly when it happened, but the common people in Daliang now have such thoughts. Perhaps since the faith was shattered 400 years ago, the root of the disaster has been buried, or it may be due to excessive emphasis on force. , lacking a part of spiritual shaping.

The farther you go north, the less rainy weather you see. What you see on the road is generally different, but this change is slow, unlike Lu Ze's previous high-speed rail ride, which can be experienced in just a few hours. As far as the climate changes in the north and south of the river, in this era of not very developed means of transportation, even the Maxima, which is known as a thousand miles a day, cannot change from spring to autumn in a day.

After walking for half a month, there was nothing new about the matter. Occasionally, there would be bandits who didn't have long eyes to rob the road, but it was usually solved by a few guards, and An Xuanye seemed to be less interested in doing so. The whole person is wrapped in white armor, as cold as ice.

Lu Ze has always been a person who is not in the mood to make girls happy. He rides a horse and reads books every day, but he is happy and quiet. His understanding of martial arts is also getting deeper and deeper. He probably read half a page more, although the progress is slow. , but that breath of true energy has changed from the thickness of a hair to four or five hairs, which can be regarded as a lot of progress, but the road to break through is still far away.

One reason is that Lu Ze's understanding of martial arts is not yet in place. There are still a few miles away from the martial arts barrier. schedule;

On the other hand, Goldfinger didn't have enough energy to plunder, and the sky blue eyes were still sleeping, not full.

Sometimes Lu Ze also thinks, if this golden finger is stronger, it would be great if he could directly fill him with martial arts, and how proud he would be if he entered the realm in one day, but everything seems to be in vain. Following a step-by-step law, whether it is martial arts or the golden finger itself, what to do or what to do, there is no thought of advancing rashly at all, and Lu Ze can only let it go.

Fortunately, Lu Ze himself is a person who is not in a hurry. His work experience as a cleaner has allowed him to develop the excellent quality of being calm and calm. Therefore, even though his body is weak, his mentality is already that of a 30-year-old veteran. Naturally, Not in a hurry.

Some things cannot be rushed, but if you rush, you will have to pay the price.

The road is still not easy to walk. An Xuanye perfectly verified what she said at Zhang's house that day. The daily journey is completely arbitrary, and sometimes there will be an inexplicable detour. Rao Lu Ze, it is also difficult. I feel confused, not to mention those people who have ulterior motives. At this moment, except for Lu Ze himself, no one else knows where they are. As for whether there are ghosts?Lu Ze believes that there should be none. The small team is under the watchful eyes of An Xuanye. What kind of message do you want to send?That's really unlikely.

But no matter how many twists and turns, there is one place that you can't get around.

Jiangdu!

In these years, there are very few cities that dare to use "du" to name them. Looking at the entire Daliang territory, only three cities dare to name them that way.

One of them is Jiangdu, which Lu Ze and his party cannot avoid.

Jiangdu's geographical location is very special. It is not built on a plain, but is stuck at the junction of two mountain ranges.

These two mountain ranges, one is Nanling and the other is Beiling. They run through tens of thousands of miles from east to west, and directly divide the entire girder into two parts, the north and the south. The height drops rapidly, but is also hundreds of meters high;

North Ridge is to the west of Jiangdu, the terrain is more steep and towering, and it gets higher and higher as it goes west.

The entire mountain range is like a diagonal line from high to low, but in this diagonal line, a small opening is opened, creating a majestic city.

Mountains and rivers depend on each other, and where there are mountains, there are rivers. In the north of Jiangdu, rivers flow through, from northwest to southeast, vast and vast.

The north and south mountains and rivers generally present an "X" shape, and the intersection is Jiangdu. Historically, the north-south water transport and land transportation have always passed through Jiangdu, which shows the importance of its location.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a terrain is a natural danger. If two countries can pass through the two north and south ridges, they can be turned into a boundary.

In fact, according to Lu Ze's understanding in the past half a month, it was indeed the case 500 years ago. The two ridges in the north and the south separated into two countries. One is called Tang and the other is called Zhou. The Northern Zhou and Southern Tang are really familiar to people.

This matter was learned from An Xuanye. When Lu Ze was in the clan, he didn't get this information. Maybe the Lu clan didn't collect it, or Lu Ze didn't notice it.

The time is too short, Lu Ze is not sure,

According to Blue Star's development, the Northern Zhou Dynasty general Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao turned into a yellow robe and joined the army, and then wiped out the Southern Tang Dynasty to rule the world and establish the Great Song Dynasty. From then on, he began a life of constant beatings.

But something different seems to have appeared in this world. I didn't hear An Xuanye mention the matter in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in the Southern Tang Dynasty, An Xuanye said a few more words, only saying that the empress master was unvirtuous and cruel at that time. The massacre, coupled with famines and plagues in many places in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the displacement of the people, the then Emperor Taizu of Liang rose up, and after ten years of hard work, he finally destroyed Tang and became Liang.

The next routine was naturally familiar. Emperor Taizu worked hard to govern, and finally crossed the natural dangers of the North and South Ridges, annexed the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and nearly doubled the territory. This natural danger that once separated the two countries naturally became a territory within the territory. .

In order to prevent future generations from being corrupted and degenerated into the virtues of the later masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty because of the natural dangers of the North and South Ridges, Liang Taizu directly moved the capital to the north of the North and South Ridges. There is basically a large plain area with vast terrain and no danger. Shou.

Therefore, Daliang advocates force. Apart from the reason of birth, part of it is related to the geographical location. There is no danger in the north. If you want the country to survive, you have no ability. It has long been eaten away by the surrounding countries.

Although the dangerous place has become a decoration, the upper echelons will naturally not really give up here, let alone the unique geographical location, just talk about the unexpected situation of retreating [-] steps, if the north is really breached, the Daliang royal family can also quickly The capital was moved to Jiangdu, relying on natural dangers to recover.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was once powerful, but it could not defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty. A large part of the reason was the existence of the North and South Ridges, otherwise there would be nothing to do with Daliang.

This unavoidable city, this human creation above the natural dangers, has successfully divided the north and the south, and has become the most convenient and necessary place for north-south travel. Similarly, it is also an extremely prosperous place.
