Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"We're new here, we don't know anything, let's see what's going on first."

"oh oh."

Erwazi nodded repeatedly, didn't ask any more questions, and followed Li Xiu obediently.

Shanyin County is not big, and it took more than half an hour for the two of them to walk around the Shanyin County.

Li Xiu also had a general understanding of this county.

Taking the main street that runs through the east and west city gates as the boundary, the south side is obviously richer, while the north side is slightly dilapidated. Near the east and west gates, it seems to be the barracks under the inspection department...

"The three inspectors..."

After strolling around, on the way back to the house, Li Xiu recalled what he saw and heard in the city, but couldn't help thinking about it secretly.

Jinyiwei came here for the White Lotus Sect, and he was ordered by the emperor to inspect the White Lotus Sect. As a Jinyiwei, even if it was just a small flag, he could ask for orders to mobilize the military power of Shanyin County when necessary.

With such help, Li Xiu is naturally concerned about the military strength of Shanyin County.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, in an ordinary county town, except for the yamen with dozens of yamen servants directly under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, there are only county inspections.

The county inspection department is responsible for apprehending criminals, inspecting smuggled salt, maintaining law and order, and suppressing rebellions when necessary. It can be said that it is the most important military force in ordinary county towns.

However, there are three inspectors in Shanyin County, which means that there are three inspectors in Shanyin County. Naturally, the number of inspectors in the county is not very large. Sex, it must be necessary to eat some spare money, and the strength of the three inspectors' men is estimated to be in the early [-]s at most.

Moreover, of the three county inspection departments, only one is in the county seat, and the other two are in towns outside the county seat.

This also means that the garrison force of the entire county, always including the group of yamen servants, is only a hundred or so.

After understanding the matter thoroughly, Li Xiu couldn't help but click his tongue a little. He finally understood why peasant uprisings in ancient times could easily sweep a large area.

The county towns of this era occupy a very large area, but each county town, except for those military important places, in an ordinary county town, even if the army is full, it will only have a mere two to three hundred troops at most.

These two or three hundred troops are still very scattered, just like this Shanyin County, with mental calculations or carelessness, dozens of bandits can easily capture this county.

When Fucheng reacted, sent troops to encircle and suppress, back and forth, it was at least more than a month later.

Even if it can be easily wiped out, the impact of the war cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head secretly. This is the limitation of the times. Before the emergence of fast long-distance communication, this is basically impossible to change.

While thinking, Li Xiu led the second child back to the house.

At this time, the curiosity of the teenagers in the house had almost dissipated, they were sitting around the courtyard bragging and chatting, and when they saw Li Xiu's return, they all stood up subconsciously.

"Come here, I just went out and walked around, and I probably understand a little bit about the situation, let's discuss what to do!"

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the group of teenagers naturally did not dare to neglect, they ran over one by one immediately, and finally surrounded Li Xiu.

"Well, Erwa, you guys, go to the shantytown over there, where there are poor people in distress. The White Lotus Sect likes this kind of place the most. You guys, put on a good disguise and go there to lurk there. What's the matter? Let me know right away..."

"Wu Tie, you guys just go to the street, but wherever there are a lot of people, go and inquire. Be careful, let's not reveal our identities for the time being..."

Just as Li Xiu was making arrangements, Wu Tie next to him interrupted suddenly, causing Li Xiu's voice to stop abruptly.

"Brother Xiu, wouldn't it be better for us to go directly to the county government to identify ourselves, and let the county government send someone to help us check?"

When these words caught his ears, Li Xiu suddenly looked at Wu Tie. Although he hadn't said a word yet, Wu Tie shrank back in fright.

"Our identity is Jin Yiwei, we swaggered past, and before long, the entire county will know that our Jin Yiwei has come to investigate the White Lotus Sect!"

"The White Lotus Sect is not a fool. They hide deeper than a mouse. How can we investigate after such a disturbance?"

"When the time comes, the enemy will be in the dark and we will be clear. If they really make something wrong, they will be caught off guard!"

Chapter 36 Lumi Gun

After Li Xiu explained patiently, he explained a few more words, waved his hand without further words, and the group of young people left one after another, scattered around the city according to the arrangement.

The house, which was still a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet. Li Xiu stood alone in the courtyard, but he couldn't help thinking about it. It was the first time he led a team to perform a mission alone, and he really didn't want any problems.

After thinking about it for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he looked at the place where he rented out for a lot of money.

Li Xiu didn't know much about this ancient building. Looking around, out of caution, Li Xiu carefully checked the inside and outside of the house.

The house is not too big, the layout is a bit like a courtyard. There are all the furniture that should be in the room, and there are even a lot of books left in the study.

Moreover, what surprised Li Xiu the most was that there was actually a martial arts arena in this house, but it was a pity that it was obviously deserted and overgrown with weeds.

After wandering around, Li Xiu returned to the courtyard, and the long knife that he removed to prevent his identity from being leaked appeared in his hand.

As the so-called practice and exercise, one day does not practice for three days.

Although Li Xiu had already thoroughly grasped the essence through the system panel, he did not dare to neglect his own martial arts training.

After all, the system can only be said to allow me to walk the road of martial arts in advance, and to truly implement the foundation, I have to rely on myself!

He has also practiced Polu Saber Technique for more than a year, and he has already become proficient in it. Li Xiu is naturally familiar with the pros and cons of it.

This kind of sword technique is definitely not a superior sword technique, it is very likely that it is just an ordinary entry-level knife technique.

More than explosive, not enough stamina!

After learning the explosive skill of Man Niu Jin, this problem spread to the whole body.

As soon as the Polu Knife burst out, the energy of the whole person was exhausted. Coupled with the consumption of the bull's energy on the human body, although the whole person was not powerless to fight back, he was almost like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Xiu didn't have a good solution to this problem.

The only thing that can be done is to hope for the improvement of one's own strength, perhaps break through to the step of tempering the muscles and bones, the energy and blood strength will increase greatly, and the remaining strength after the explosion may be able to stabilize.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Li Xiu slowly calmed down, raised his knife and raised his hand, the moment he opened his eyes, every move and style of the Polu knife technique flashed in his mind, and moved accordingly Yes, it is the blade in your hand.

Practicing saber techniques, Li Xiu naturally would not have the slightest restraint, bursting out with strength, without restraint at all.

Between the swaying of the blade, each knife and one style are full of fierceness!

"kill!"

With a low shout, Li Xiu took a step forward, only to hear a bang, the flying dust vibrated, and he jumped up, bursting out with brute strength, and the already sharp blade became even more turbulent!

The sound of the strong wind is loud and mighty!

Soon, the swaying blade landed on the ground with a bang, and the blade penetrated an inch into the ground. Li Xiu stood with the blade, dripping sweat dripping from his cheeks onto the ground, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Ho..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiu forcibly suppressed the exhaustion of his body. With every step, his bones creaked, his muscles tensed and contracted, and finally formed a rhythm with the beating of his heart.

The whole person's momentum also changed drastically at this moment, like King Fudo Ming, as towering as a mountain!

The qi and blood were surging, scorching like lava. Although the weather was still hot at the moment, Li Xiu's body was covered with a little smoke from the bottom to the top. Under the turbulent qi and blood, his face was flushed as The blanched prawns were average.

About half an hour later, the blood rushing like a river slowly returned to calm. Li Xiuchang let out a mouthful of stale air, twisted his body twice, and there was another crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Feeling the progress of this practice, Li Xiu couldn't help but frowned. Although it was considered fast compared to ordinary people, to Li Xiu, he was still unsatisfied.

Especially now, facing the unknown White Lotus Sect, he always arranges in every possible way, but who knows if a few great masters will emerge.

"It would be great if there was a prescription for Qixue Pill!"

Thinking of the effect of Qixue Pill, Li Xiu couldn't help fantasizing about it. With his current medical skills, refining the pill is naturally not a difficult task. The only thing is that he doesn't know the prescription of Qixue Pill, and there is no prescription unless he wants to. It took a long time to trial and error, and gradually experimented with the medicinal materials needed to prepare the Qixue Pill.

However, with such thoughts and such medical skills, instead of doing this, it is better to research a new prescription by yourself.

"Let's go and buy back the medicinal materials that Xiao Pei Yuan Fang needs..."

While the thought was flashing, Li Xiu seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stepped forward, and walked into the room in a few steps.

After a while, he pulled out a firecracker from the room.

After finding a place to sit down at will, Li Xiu carefully looked at the firecrackers in his hand. The ancient firecrackers in his impression were all indistinguishable from the word "shoddy".

However, since Li Xiu came into contact with this firecracker, there has never been any incidents such as bombing the gun.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the word Jinyiwei. After all, for the local guards, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If there is a problem, then it will be troublesome.

Li Xiu didn't know much about the firecrackers of this era, but he was quite familiar with the firecracker in front of him after practicing in that cave for such a long period of time.

The scientific name of this firecracker is Lumi blunderbuss, it weighs about seven or eight catties, and is about seven feet long. It looks like a shotgun, front sight trigger and other devices that modern firearms have. , still have to light the match with a torch.

Although it is quite simple and the operation is not simple, the Lumi gun is not small, and the range is not bad. Li Xiu remembered that the Jin Yiwei who taught everyone how to operate the Lumi gun once said that now Of the many firecrackers in the Ming Dynasty, only the Lumi cannon is the farthest and most poisonous.

When practicing shooting many times, Li Xiu also personally experienced the power of this Lumi gun. Although it is not very accurate, the combination of the diffused projectile and the rather good shooting distance can be regarded as a sharp weapon. .

"If you meet a member of the White Lotus Cult, this fire blunderbuss may surprise you!"

Looking at the Lumi gun in his hand, Li Xiu couldn't help thinking about it.

He practiced martial arts by himself, so he was naturally very clear about the strengths of martial arts, just like him, but he had just entered the body training state not long ago, and his skin and flesh were already somewhat tough, and his strength and speed were far beyond ordinary people, which is completely conceivable , What kind of scene will it be when the body training gradually deepens.

This is probably also the reason why Xu Tao was not rejected when he asked Xu Tao for the Lumi blunderbuss. This Jin Yiwei has good martial arts skills, and it is estimated that few people would like the Lumi blunderbuss.

The fact is also the same, before forming a coverage advantage, it is difficult to pose too much threat to those martial arts masters. After all, even if the body cannot block the projectile, no one will stand stupidly and let people aim at it.

But in some specific terrain, or under unexpected conditions, this Lumi gun can also be called a big killer!

If it is impossible to improve the cultivation level in a short time, this big killer must be used well.

Chapter 37 Pharmacy

"Candied haws, candied haws..."

"Excellent rouge gouache, sell rouge gouache!"

"Seed cakes! Delicious sesame cakes..."

Even though night was approaching, the main street of the county town was still bustling, with lanterns hanging, bustling with people, and sparks adorning the entire street.

For some reason, Li Xiu always felt intoxicated by this quaint scene.

It seems that such a scene always makes people inexplicably peaceful.

After being intoxicated for a while, Li Xiucai gathered his mind, looked around, and then looked at a pharmacy beside the street.

When he got closer, his eyes couldn't help but freeze on a pair of couplets on the beams and pillars of the pharmacy.

"I hope that people in the world are free from disease, why bother to put medicine on the shelf to make dust!"

As if thinking of something, Li Xiu secretly shook his head, walked towards the pharmacy.

As soon as he entered the room, the familiar smell of medicine came over his face. Subconsciously, the names of several medicinal materials popped up in Li Xiu's mind. Looking around, he saw the apprentice who made the medicine, the doctor who was attending the consultation, and the row of medicines. The shelves are no different from the layout of Qin Laona's pharmacy in the cave.

"Is this young man seeing a doctor or buying medicine?"

Soon, a middle-aged man with a mustache greeted him.

"Buy medicine."

Li Xiu nodded, then looked at the names of many medicines on the medicine shelf, and reported the many medicinal materials needed for Xiao Peiyuan's prescription.

"My lord, the portion you want is a little too much. Our pharmacy doesn't have so many leftovers for the time being. Please wait a moment, and I'll send the servants to go to the warehouse to get the goods."

"Sir, please..."

"Doctor, doctor, save my man, doctor!"

Just as Li Xiu took a step forward, a shrill cry suddenly rang in his ears.

Then a group of people broke into the pharmacy violently, and with the support of two men, a thin man with a sallow complexion appeared in the pharmacy, and the woman who shouted rushed to the pharmacy doctor. , talking non-stop in a panic.

The gray-haired old doctor was obviously a kind-hearted person, without saying anything, he walked up to the man in a few steps, helped him sit down, and began to diagnose.

"Young master, you drink tea!"

After receiving the tea brought by the servants in the pharmacy, Li Xiu watched with great interest as the doctor in front of him began to treat his illness.

Speaking of which, although he considers himself to be top-notch in medicine, he hasn't treated too many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. The most he has done is to bandage trauma...

After all, in that cruel place, those whose bodies couldn't keep up had long since turned into a pile of dry bones, so there was no need for medical treatment...

Listening to the doctor's diagnosis and the patient's self-narration, Li Xiu gradually formed a general idea in his mind, and unconsciously, he couldn't help but start thinking about the treatment plan.

But after a while, several treatment plans appeared in his mind, and the doctor, after thinking for a while, began to tell the cause of the disease.

The tea was poured into his mouth, tasting the fragrance of the tea, while listening to the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Li Xiu's brows slowly frowned.

This old doctor surnamed Sun made a wrong diagnosis!

Putting down the teacup, Li Xiu glanced at the confident doctor, then at the sallow-faced patient, and finally couldn't help shaking his head.

He waved to the busy boy in the pharmacy, and the boy ran over immediately.

Fu Er said a few words, the young man glanced at the doctor who was writing the prescription, his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, but when he thought that Li Xiu was a distinguished guest welcomed by the shopkeeper, he had to suppress his embarrassment and ran away Arriving at Elder Sun's side, after saying a few words in a low voice, Elder Sun's puzzled eyes immediately fixed on Li Xiu.

"I don't know why the young master is looking for the old man?"

"The cold evil enters from the outside and enters from the outside. After many years of subduing the evil, the weaker the righteous energy is, the deeper the cold evil invades..."
