Wanjie Athletics, I choose Zhang Sanfeng to start

Ordinary people are matched up, most of them can only die.

Often a single evil corpse can turn an entire city into ruins.

Afterwards, the imperial court could only send corpse-bearers who were good at fire and thunder to clean up the mess.

Completely burn the entire city full of poisonous corpses and evil corpses to ashes.

The boys remained calm.

But...not all are so calm.

Some couldn't bear it anymore, and shot arrows towards the direction the figure came from.

Even though he could only shoot an arrow twenty steps away, he was still far away from that person.

The bell was rung, and more professional militiamen began to gather from all over the city, and then replaced the youngsters' posts.

"Wait...his eyes aren't red!"

"It's not a corpse!" said a sharp-eyed boy.

"Huh...he looks so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before." Another teenager said.

Chapter 394 One city, one phase, ten thousand cities and ten thousand places

Cao Zhe stood on the ridge of the rice field, looking at the small town not far away.

Like many cities he had seen before, this city was still almost completely closed.

From the outside, it looks like an ugly, awkward, and uneven tortoise shell, crooked and upside down on the ground, dusty, dry, and not round at all.

Small towns have limited resources, so they will not waste energy on shaping the shape.

All the 'irregularities' are the experience and lessons gained with blood when resisting evil surges and evil beasts.

"After walking for so many days, I have traveled more than half of the land of the Tang Dynasty, but I have not seen many cities, and there are almost no villages."

"The fire of humanity is indeed almost extinguished in this world."

"It's no wonder that the original Jiuding Town's luck should have been drawn from the humanitarian luck as a protection. Why did it need to organize a special team to send sacrifices to stimulate."

"Just because the human nature is getting weaker and has reached the verge of ruin, Jiuding stands to protect the human race, and will not take the initiative to ask for it. This is a good intention, but it adds more suffering..." Cao Zhe walked away in three or two steps In front of the small town.

The small town has no gates.

To enter and exit, someone needs to use a hanging basket to lower it from the top of the city, pull the person up to the hole in the top of the city, and then follow the slide at the hole to enter the strictly inspected underground hall.

Only after strict identity verification in the underground hall can they truly enter the city.

This kind of pattern is generally universal. It was fixed and formed three or four hundred years ago. It is widely used in this land, but there are some subtle differences according to the customs and environments of different places. Cao Zhe has seen it before. Not a lot.

As for the inside of the city... of course it is completely enclosed, and there is no sunlight all day long, only some glowing moss, shining light on the walls and corners, allowing people to barely see things in the city.

People living in small cities will only flock out of the city in large numbers under special circumstances to see the light and wind blowing outside.

And generally speaking... that's probably for farming outside the city, or adventurous hunting.

Although it is an opportunity to go out of the city, it is even more dangerous for the people in the city.

Every year when it comes to the plowing and harvesting season, it is a life and death.

More than one-third of the adults in the city will be randomly selected, and under the 'protection' of the guards, they will go out to work in the city.

Less than half of the people who go out of the city and finally return to the city are often less than half, and the probability of annihilation of the entire army is not low.

Such a high loss rate has also led to the fact that, almost every few years, a large number of small towns will be completely dilapidated and abandoned, and will eventually be buried in the soil of time and become the past.

"Although it is still a country in name, in fact, the 'Great Tang' has almost been completely 'split' many years ago. Some important towns are the core of the place, and a large number of small cities are dotted around. However, even on the same side Under the water and soil, there is almost no communication between cities."

"What the Tang Dynasty can really control is actually only Chang'an, and some cities around Chang'an, as well as the border guards that focus on deploying troops. But they have no troops, capabilities, or financial resources. What is there for a wider area? care."

"People have even given up contact and exploration with the outside world, repeating their past life day after day, delaying the destruction of the city and the complete demise of the group."

"Afraid to go out, afraid to face new changes."

"This kind of concept is deeply rooted. Even if I spread the new martial arts of evil spirits, let the corpse-carrying people take risks, go deep into various places, and spread the martial arts of evil spirits. But I still haven't been able to break this situation. This is in my heart." Stubborn illness." Cao Zhe thought to himself.

Such a situation can only be truly understood by going deep into the people, seeing and hearing it.

If you just stand in the center and issue orders, even if you know about it, it is difficult to pay attention to the solidity of this 'stubborn disease'.

It's like many people have stayed at home for a long time, and they don't want to or even dare to go out again.

The situation here will only become more serious many times.

"So I have to come!"

"Every city I walked through, and in every city, I left something behind." Cao Zhe looked at the hanging basket hesitantly put down from the top of the city, and straddled it calmly.

Even though it was easier for him to enter the city, he was willing to do it.

Facing the curious and eager eyes hiding behind brick walls and traps, he showed a smile that made everyone feel relieved.

As before, enter the city...then accept inquiries calmly and accept some inspections that will make people feel at ease.

The lord of the small town is a thin young man, judging by his aura, he is still under 25 years old, but between his brows, he is already full of old age, judging by his face, he must be at least forty.

Even the city lord seemed somewhat malnourished.

The soldiers wearing tattered armor around them were also short and skinny.

The most 'elite' people in these cities are still like this, which shows how difficult life will be for ordinary people.

Although there is farming outside the city, without daily maintenance and care, there is only one kind of harvest, and the amount of harvest depends on God's will. The annual grain output... is really not optimistic.

"Master Tianshi! Thank you for your cooperation." The city lord of Xiaocheng said as if he was not very good at words, his tone seemed a little dry.

He doesn't seem to understand the specific meaning of "Heavenly Master".

I just know that the corpse-bearer who came to teach evil spirit martial arts last time 'described' Cao Zhe in this way and left a portrait.

Traces of civilization, in this small town... Like many similar small towns, there are a lot of breaks.

"No need to say much, I am here today to teach the Dharma."

"Does your city have a name?" Cao Zhe asked.

The owner of the city, Qiqi Aiai, moved his lips cautiously and said: "Yes! Yes... I heard from the old people before that our city is called 'Ditch', called Ditch City."

"Okay! Go build a wall in the city, and I will write an article on martial arts on the wall."

"This martial art is unique to you in Goucheng, so it is called... Gouquan. If others want to learn it more comprehensively, they have to come to your city and see this wall with their own eyes."

This is Cao Zhe's method.

The evil spirit martial arts liberated the high wall that the human race could not 'resist' against evil spirits, but the barriers that naturally grow in the human heart are not so easy to break.

In the closed life that has lasted for hundreds of years, few people dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to explore, communicate, and recognize the vastness of this world.

Therefore, Cao Zhe will leave a unique article on martial arts in every city he has traveled.

If you want to see the whole picture of these martial arts, you have to come in person and stand on the martial arts wall to admire.

In this way, a group of hardworking warriors can be aroused to embark on a brave and adventurous journey.

And with the traction of these people, greater circulation will also break through the thick 'turtle shell'.

It can be said that Cao Zhe was just letting the race "stand up" in this malicious world.

Now it is to let people actively want to 'go out'.

Chapter 395 The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws

Goucheng is very dilapidated and very small. The total number of people in the city is less than 1000.

There are also several contestants hiding in it, but they did not contact 'Cao Zhe' hastily.

Before they can confirm Cao Zhe's identity and attitude, they will not take risks.

After two competitions, many contestants have learned to restrain their "different" feathers, hide themselves in the crowd, and hide themselves among the natives.

In the early stages of competition, knowing "self-discipline" is the "first commandment" for ordinary competitors.

Although there were few people in Goucheng, the stone wall that Cao Zhe wanted was quickly erected.

The stone wall was polished smooth, and the city lord, together with some ragged civilians, stood around and watched.

Among them, there are only a few who still have "light" in their eyes, and most of them are numb.

Cao Zhe did not write on the stone wall.

Instead, he used a small carving knife to carve out some seemingly simple human-shaped patterns bit by bit, and at the same time marked the circuit diagram of luck, movement of qi, intake of qi, and display.

In this way, even illiterate people, as long as they have brains and can understand these pictures... even if it is only a part, they can follow along and learn part of the ditch boxing.

Then after communicating and learning with each other, you can get an almost complete overview.

In Cao Zhe's eyes, ditch boxing is of course not an "amazing" martial art, and it only has the effect of laying the foundation, which is barely passable.

The real point is that when Cao Zhe sculpted, a little bit of martial arts entered into it.

Those fighters who have reached a certain threshold will naturally be driven by Cao Zhe's martial arts when looking at the depictions on the stone wall, and they will have a new feeling for the ditch fist...even the boxing technique, as well as some combined use of evil spirits.

And for warriors who have seen more depictions in cities, the ideas deposited in their hearts will continue to accumulate and stack up, and gradually form a stronger and more suitable martial arts in their minds.

This is equivalent to Cao Zhe teaching them step by step, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

The method of a true saint is that in just a few thousand words, every word and every sentence, when arranged individually, can explain the truth in a subtle way.

Cao Zhe has not reached the realm of those saints in the rumors, but if he is allowed to explain martial arts in this way, so that everyone who is interested can gain enlightenment and gains from watching the stone carvings again and again, he can still did it.

When the last picture was finalized, Cao Zhe wrote eight large characters in the lower left corner as usual.

'If you are good at moving stone carvings, the world will strike together'.

Other than that, Cao Zhe didn't make any more arrangements.

At most 50 years, he will leave this world.

But this world, with competitors, will continue to run for 250 years, and it will continue to exist after all the competitors leave.

The stone carvings left by Cao Zhe seem to be overflowing, and anyone can see them.

When time passes, there may not be ambitious people who try to collect all the stone carvings, and then hide them as private collections.

Cao Zhe left these eight words, but there are no more restrictive means. In fact, he left two options for latecomers.

Either lose together and make the most powerful.

Either attack it together, and let the rivers and lakes be full of waves forever.

The way of martial arts is improved from killing and confrontation.

Now there is evil spirits filling the world, and there are enemies everywhere outside the Tang Dynasty, so martial arts in this world will not lack opponents, let alone enemies.

But if those external enemies are dealt with, will the world become dull and dull until people give up fighting and indulge in peace and mediocrity in front of them?

This possibility is not high, but Cao Zhe will see this possibility in advance, and then take precautions.

"Warrior will die, forget the war and you will be in danger!"

"I seem to be cruel to all living beings, but it is precisely because I am responsible to them." Cao Zhe's heart was full of turbulent waves, but his face remained calm.

Turning his head to the city lord, he also said to the people in the city: "The ditch boxing is filled with the meaning of a big river. If you want to master the boxing technique, you might as well go to the bank of the big river often to see the scenery of the long river."

"Among them, the initial evil energy needed for practicing boxing and promoting Qi can also be found around Goucheng."

"It's over here, so I'll take my leave."

Cao Zhe said he was going to leave, but he didn't go so smoothly and smoothly. Instead, his eyes swept across the crowd inadvertently, concealing encouragement.

A young man jumped out and was about to kneel on the ground.

A mass of soft breath supported him, so that he could only be regarded as half lying there.

"Lord Tianshi! Please accept me as an apprentice!" The young man shouted loudly.

The people around looked at the boy with some 'exploration' and 'surprise' in their eyes.

Most of them have been closed and numb for too long. For them, any "shouldn't" desire seems so extravagant.

For many people in Datang.

Their biggest problem is not whether they are too greedy or have huge ambitions, but...they have lost their greed and ambition.
