094 Heroes of Troubled Times
It has to be said that the transportation in the early days of the Republic of China was really inconvenient. There were neither direct trains nor direct shuttles, let alone airplanes. Most of the time, I used transportation such as ox, horse and carriage.
Although there was a government of the Republic of China in name, it was actually an era when warlords fought each other as kings. The Northern Expedition was in full swing, and the Central Plains region could be said to be in chaos.
Under years of war, warlords everywhere set up checkpoints to guard against each other. Under warlords' melee, bandits caused a lot of trouble, so this trip of course became much more troublesome.
The inspection levels set by the warlords are okay. As long as you block a few oceans of the big-headed soldiers, you can basically pass the test easily.
However, we encountered not only the levels set by warlord forces during the journey, but also encountered more than a dozen robberies. Some bandits may just make a living, so they will not do too much. They can pass by just leaving some money to buy the road.
However, some bandits did a great job, not only would they rob all their property, but they would not even let go of people. The man was arrested as a coolie and trained to become a new member, while the woman was arrested for everyone to be humiliated and enjoy.
When encountering such a gangster who is unforgivable, Zhou Bufan will certainly not be distracted and ruthless. He wasted several days a few times and found the bandit den and completely dropped it.
Therefore, along the way, many people were rescued from the bandit's nest in disguise, and most of the property obtained from the bandit's nest were distributed to the local people, leaving many magical legends among the people along the way.
He killed the bandit gang alone and could not even deal with the security team. He also distributed the property found in the hamlet to everyone, and rescued many people who were abducted by the bandits from the bandits' den...
Such achievements are worthy of great writing in that era. Therefore, many villages and towns that have been ravaged by bandits for a long time have also built a monument to record the relevant deeds of Guan Rong as a souvenir in order to thank the hero who passed by.
However, he accidentally left some foundation in this world and then obtained some emotional energy unique to intelligent life that cannot be explained by science. Of course, these mysterious energy requires time to brew, and it is indeed useless to Zhou Bufan now.
...
It took more than a month to arrive in Xi'an, and the New Year had already passed. However, the situation I saw after entering the city was indeed a bit surprising, and I can only describe it as devastated.
This historical city has just experienced a protracted war between warlords. Liu Zhenhua's "Zhensong Army" entered Guanzhong from western Henan and besieged Yang Hucheng and Li Huchen's troops for 8 months, and countless soldiers and civilians were killed or injured.
The military discipline of warlords in this era was almost the same as that of bandits. During the siege of more than half a year, the surrounding people were almost robbed.
In order to survive, people sometimes even do things like eating for children. It is of course common to hold their heads to fight the family and rob, so although the warlords' melee has ended, the disaster is extremely serious.
When I walked on the street, I saw that almost everyone on the street was dressed in tatters, like a beggar. Zhou Bufan was dressed in a relatively particular way, and he also brought a suitcase, which really looked very abrupt.
However, after careful observation, I also saw some tricks. Not everyone is very poor. Many people are dressed in rags like beggars, but they look greasy. They are not beggars after eating the last meal.
After a little analysis, I knew the answer. The world is messy and the bandits around me are really serious. Therefore, those who still have some assets in their families have to pretend to be poor, so as not to be targeted by the eyebrow of some bandit gangs and rob them all of them.
And I was dressed in decent clothes and walked on the street with my suitcase. Soon, the fat sheep in the eyes of the thieves and thieves.
After careful attention to the surrounding area, I found that the suspicious person was observing himself. It was probably the eyeliner of some small gangs of thieves and bandits.
"Maybe it's better to follow the local customs and change into beggar's outfits!"
He muttered to himself and walked straight to a ready-to-wear shop. Suddenly, he found a teenager who pretended to trip and bumped into him when he walked to him.
With the support of that dynamic vision, I could see the hand that was reaching out to my pocket from the corner of my eyes...
He gave his body slightly to the side, and at the same time he knocked the hand that was reaching out quickly. The young man knew that he had met a big expert today, so he didn't dare to stay for more. He lowered his head and left hurriedly.
After a while, near the door of the garment shop, I met three young men pretending to seek revenge and recognize the wrong person, trying to push themselves into the alley.
Of course, there was nothing to be polite about this. He directly gave the three people an old punch, hitting several people with a bruised nose and swollen face in minutes, and ran away in a hurry.
After several competitions, those guys with malicious intentions were temporarily calmed down. However, given that their outfits were indeed a bit eye-catching, after thinking about it over and over again, they finally changed their outfits as local customs. Although they were not a beggar outfit, they were not so eye-catching.
...
After setting up some anti-theft traps around the room late at night, I finally took out the set of talisman star array cards and quickly arranged them around the room.
After the arrangement of the talisman star formation was completed, the person sat down in the middle of the formation, then adjusted his breathing and looked inward to the Dantian, and began to enter quiet and practice Qi.
After more than a month, although I have been away from home and have no place to stay, my Qi training has stopped. I have lost my sexy beauty and often accompany me. After I have restrained my lust, the Qi training effect has returned to a very good growth state.
Of course, putting the talisman star fighting formation around is not to increase the effect of qi training, but actually to sacrifice and refine the talisman star fighting formation while practicing qi.
This purple talisman card that combines many magic power systems is very different from the purple talisman mentioned in general Maoshan Technique. Of course, it is completely different from the magic rune array. It can actually improve its quality through continuous sacrifice and refining.
This situation is different from known magic weapons and equipment and the Taoist magic weapons mentioned by Uncle Jiu. It is somewhat similar to the magic sword that accidentally absorbed the dragon soul, and it is actually a set of growth-oriented treasures.
Moreover, after more than a month of continuous sacrifice and refining, a trace of bloodlines has been created. Perhaps it is not far from the day when the initial driving the Star Fighting Array.
After a long period of qi training, the true qi in the body has been circulating in the eight extraordinary meridians as you breathe, and there is no longer a need for special consciousness to guide it.
During the breathing and inhalation, the energy of the true qi will automatically be accompanied by breathing, and it will continue to flow into the eight extraordinary meridians. As the life field of the true qi becomes extremely active, the main consciousness can easily radiate outward along the life field to form spiritual perception.
Originally, this spiritual perception could only spread about three meters outside the body, but with the help of the talisman star formation, the spiritual perception could easily extend outward to twenty or thirty meters away.
Suddenly, I felt someone breaking into the range of spiritual consciousness and immediately took the set of purple talisman cards, and the person quietly lie down on the bed.
