Chapter 25: Escape from the Dead

Am I dead?

In a trance, Chen Mo realized that he seemed to be in a strange space, with darkness around him, silent, so quiet that he could not even hear his breathing and heartbeat, and only his thinking was still working.

Somehow, what he had experienced gradually appeared in Chen Mo's mind, the days of later generations, the days of the Yellow Turbans, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Susu, and Sun Jian, these people he knew came to his mind one by one.

Oh!

When Chen Mo remembered the battle between him and Sun Jian, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, because the battle made him fully understand what an orthodox warrior was. Any power obtained by any side and left-minded way could not compare to hard work bit by bit.

[Bengjin], [Cutting iron], [Rigid Body], after meeting Sun Jian, Chen Mo completely understood what a martial artist is and what a martial artist's skills are.

Unlike the martial arts novels that Chen Mo has read, the martial artists of this era do not have the ability to fly over the eaves and walls, but the skills they master are not inferior to those in martial arts novels.

In the battle with Sun Jian, Chen Mo learned that the first thing a warrior needs to master is the basics, in other words, basic skills, including [bow], [knight], [gun], and [sword].

[Bow] refers to a bow and crossbow. Although it does not require a hundred steps to penetrate the Yang, it must at least be able to do it. [Charge] refers to riding skills. A superb riding skill is the foundation of a military general; while [Spear] refers to weapons, which generally represents long weapons used on war horses, including swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. All long weapons with long handles are included; and the final [Sword] does not refer to ordinary long swords, but short swords, two feet long and two inches wide, and similar to daggers. Simply put, it is a secondary weapon. Basically, every soldier has a short sword on his waist to deal with emergencies.

In fact, in theory, in the regular army of the Han Dynasty, ordinary soldiers were also required to master these, especially elite soldiers. Take the Sanhe Light Cavalry that Chen Mo encountered for example, their daytime exercises are these.

So what is the difference between military generals and soldiers?

Is it the solidity of basic skills?

Of course not. As a general, in addition to mastering [bow], [knight], [gun], and [sword], you also need to master a special skill, that is [qi].

The term [qi] originated from Taoism, which emphasizes that all things in the world have spiritual energy. This qi represents vitality, especially people. For example, there is an ancient saying: wine, sex, wealth and energy. The pattern represented by qi is human.

Among warriors, there are two types of qi, one is [external breath] and the other is [inner breath].

[External breath] refers to the violent aura derived from negative emotions in the human body. Most of them are called murderous aura, evil aura, war aura, etc. The color is black, the shape is foggy, cold in nature, and the main yin. If you fight for many years and kill too many warriors in your hands, this qi becomes more obvious. Moreover, once this qi leaves the human body, it cannot go back or eliminates it. It can only be attached to the surface of the human body. However, relying on it, the general can perform some martial arts beyond human knowledge, such as the collapse force, iron cutting, martial arts, rigid body, etc. that Sun Jian once used.

[Inner breath] refers to orthodox qi, which means vital energy, which is white in color, invisible, and is hot in nature, and is dominated by yang. This kind of energy can only be obtained by practicing martial arts in a solid manner. Without any luck, this kind of energy cannot leave the human body and will disappear once it leaves the human body. Its function is to allow the generals to perform some special skills. This is not mentioned for the time being.

The external and internal energy are the functions of the two auras. The biggest difference is their negative effects. If the vitality is regarded as a medicine that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and prolong life, then the vitality is a double-edged sword. Any military general with excessive sexual energy will gradually become violent, and those with more serious sexual energy will even have hallucinations and confusion. After all, the sexual energy is mostly obtained from killing. According to Taoism, this is evil!

In addition, warriors also have theories of [yuan], [jing], [qi], and [power].

[Yuan] refers to Yangyuan, simply speaking, Yangsheng. The reason why we mention this is because some martial artists master some taboo skills and do things that they cannot do normally at the cost of reducing life and reducing the yuan. In addition, the medicines and pills that Chen Mo took are also included in this category.

[Essence] refers to essence and blood. Regularly speaking, it is the few drops of blood in the heart and mouth, but generally refers to the blood in the human body, because some moves of warriors require qi and blood to be used.

[Strength] refers to the physical strength of a general. Although it ranks last, it occupies no light weight. After all, no matter how strong a general is, once he exhausts his physical strength, he will not do anything else.

It is worth mentioning that Yuan, essence, qi and force can be transformed in sequence, transforming Yuan into essence, turning essence into qi, and transforming Qi into force, but the other three can be reclaimed and restored, but Yuan, that is, life span cannot be restored.

The last one, which was once used by Sun Jian and Bo Cai, was formed by the ferocious beast condensed by the evil spirit. Sun Jian had a black-patterned gray tiger, while Bo Cai's had a three-clawed dragon python. According to the martial artist, this is called [nate]. I will not mention it for the time being.

Back to the point, when Chen Mo opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a couch. He wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt a lot of pain all over his body. Just moving his neck made him gasp in pain.

However, the severe pain made Chen Mo understand something, he was still alive.

Just as Chen Mo was thinking about it, he suddenly heard footsteps. Then, a gray-haired old man appeared in front of him, with a long gray beard, leaned over and looked at Chen Mo, and said with a smile, "Awaken?"

Looking at the old man's smiling expression, Chen Mo felt embarrassed for no reason and said embarrassedly, "Ah...yes, is it...you saved me?"

"Apart from the old man, are there anyone else in this room?"

Chen Mo smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly, "Thank you for saving your life!"

It was originally a word of gratitude, but unexpectedly, the old man frowned when he heard it, and coughed and said, "At thirty, I am not confused at thirty, I am nine out of thirty this year, and I am not yet in that year, and I can't afford to call the old man!"

Thirty-nine?

Looking at the old man's gray hair and his mouth full of gray beard, Chen Mo was a little stunned.

Does this look like thirty-nine? It’s true that you can believe it. Besides, who is thirty-nine calls yourself an old man?

It seemed that he had seen through Chen Mo's thoughts. The old man looked at him angrily, then stretched out one hand to put Chen Mo's pulse and said, "Boy's life is very hard. You were seriously injured at that time, and your life was on the verge of a thread. Since I brought you back, you have been in a coma for three months. I have been looking at you several times and I didn't expect you to survive again..."

Chen Mo was stunned and asked in surprise, "Three months?"

"Don't move," the old man pressed Chen Mo and frowned, "I just finished collecting the bones for you, so I must not move..."

"Three months..." Chen Mo murmured these three words, and Zhang Susu's beautiful face couldn't help but appear in his mind. As he thought about it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

The old man obviously saw something wrong with Chen Mo. He took Chen Mo's pulse and shook his head and said, "Boy, you took the pill developed by Zhang Bao, right?"

Chen Mo was stunned and asked, "Do you know?"

"I once got one in Julu. In order to understand the pharmacology, I also tasted it. It was not a good thing. It hurts the body and the spirit, but also reduces life..."

In order to understand the pharmacology, Chen Mo understood why this old man looked old this year at only 39 years old.

"How many pills have you taken?" the old man asked.

Chen Mo thought about it and said, "Seven Pieces!"

"Seven...seven pills?" The old man suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Chen Mo in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Boy, you don't want to live? Seven pills will reduce your life for at least a few decades. Such a kind of slutty thing can't be affected!"

Chen Mo smiled bitterly and didn't answer.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't want to say in detail, the old man didn't ask questions, shook his head and sighed, half-squinted his eyes and put on Chen Mo's pulse, then nodded, and said, "Well, the pulse is a little stable. I will give you a few more medicines..."

Looking at the concern in the old man's eyes, Chen Mo felt a little warm and said gratefully, "Thank you, I don't know what the old man calls him?"

The old man glared at his eyes, and then seemed to see the sincere meaning in Chen Mo's eyes. He hummed twice and said, "Old's surname is Hua Tuo...Hehe, this year is thirty-nine..."

Hua Tuo?

A miracle doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Thank you Mr. Hua for helping you!"

“…”

The old man opened his mouth, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Stay good rest and don't move around. If you turn it apart, it's troublesome!"

"Thank you Mr. Hua!"

"Hmph!" Hua Tuo hummed and went out.

In the next three months, Chen Mo was lying on the couch and unable to move. After all, his bones were broken all over his body, and it was a miracle to be able to live. The only thing he could do was chat with Hua Tuo.

But Hua Tuo was not very interested in other things, so he talked about Chen Mo's physical condition.

According to Hua Tuo, Zhang Bao's pills did harm Chen Mo, but they could have saved his life.

Because when fighting with Sun Jian, Chen Mo held his heart to death and took all the last five pills in one breath. It was the effect of the medicine, coupled with Hua Tuo's careful cooking, which made Chen Mo, who was seriously injured, barely support him to this day. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.

Moreover, according to Hua Tuo, because of those elixirs, Chen Moxin's bones are harder than ordinary people, and his qi and meridians are wider than those of ordinary people. The only harm is that Chen Mo's life is greatly damaged.

If there is another thing, Chen Mo's external breath is too heavy, and external breath is hostility. Zhang Bao's pills and fear of Sun Jian have greatly stimulated Chen Mo's negative emotions, so that Chen Mo's hostility is even stronger than ordinary generals.

This is not a good phenomenon, because hostility is a double-edged sword. It can hurt others and also hurt yourself, especially for people like Chen Mo who have no foundation.

But no matter what, Chen Mo survived. In the past, he always thought that life and death were not important, but until he was killed by Sun Jian once, his ideas gradually changed.

It took three months for Chen Mo to completely grow bones. As he slowly walked out of the house with the help of Hua Tuo, and during his recovery, something big happened in the world.

In October of the sixth year of Jianning, Huangfu Song, the left-ranking general of the Han Dynasty, fought with Zhang Liang, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, in Guangzong, defeated the enemy, killed Zhang Liang and more than 30,000 people, and burned more than 30,000 vehicles and supplies. At this time, Zhang Jiao had already died of illness, and was killed by the coffin and corpse. He was transported to the capital.

In early November, Huangfu Song and Julu prefect Guo Dian attacked Xia Quyang, successfully killed Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 people.

Then Emperor Liu Hong presented to the heavens and told the story of his merits in the eradication of the Yellow Turbans. He changed the sixth year of Jianning to the first year of Zhongping. At this point, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down. Although some of the Yellow Turban Remnants were still in chaos in various places, they could no longer shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

The great Han Dynasty has not yet destroyed its fortune!
