That is the author of the Nine Yin Scriptures, a powerful figure who can produce unique knowledge by studying Taoist classics by himself. Moreover, he is a Taoist scholar through and through, and he never engages in the ideas of other schools. In other words, the I Ching he annotated
It must be explained from the most fundamental and orthodox Taoist perspective, which is different from other side interpretations using various doctrines.
Do you think the I Ching annotated by such a person is of high value?
"Xiao Mei, let's go into the city again and ask the bookstore owner what's going on with this book. If he doesn't tell me, give him money and buy back all the Yi Jing annotated by Huang Shang.
"
Xiaomei was confused, but looking at Zuo Zhou's serious face, it didn't look like he was teasing her, so he stood up and ran towards Guanling County.
"What? What did you find? What happened to the book Huang Shang annotated?" Zhang Junbao frowned and looked at Zuo Zhou, feeling that the book seemed to have become mysterious. He couldn't help but read it, and then he was shocked.
!
Everyone was shocked when they saw Zhang Junbao's expression of disintegration. Zuo Zhou laughed instantly, "Even if this book is precious, there is no need to be so exaggerated, right?"
"The speed of the innate power has become faster!"
"What?"
Mr. Ximen looked at the two of them with a look of disgust. Old Zuo sighed, and Zhan Shiqi pursed his lips and chuckled, which was the most reserved among them.
Zuo Zhou forcibly restrained his expression of collapse and tsunami, "First question, how did you gain innate skills?"
Zhang Junbao looked like you were teasing me, "Practice Rama Neigong and Taoist health-preserving skills together, which has a very good effect on the internal organs. Last night, my Taoist health-preserving skills entered the innate state and became innate skills. You still taught me this
What about you, don’t you know?”
The corners of Zuo Zhou's eyes were twitching wildly. Was he being tricked? "Well... I've been busy practicing sword practice these days, and I haven't practiced Rama's inner strength yet. Well, what about you just now?"
Zhang Junbao picked up the Book of Changes in his hand and said: "When I just read the Book of Changes, I found that the speed of the Xiantian Kung has suddenly accelerated a lot. Well, now that I have put down the book, the speed has not slowed down."
Zuo Zhou's body shook violently, and then shook, and kept shaking... It turns out that this is how the innate skill works!
Picking up the Book of Changes, Zuo Zhou immediately tested it. Well, there was no change. It seemed that it was not a way of randomly adding attributes similar to the system flow. Looking through the books, I have to say that Huang Shang's comments could help him quickly.
Introducing the Book of Changes, at the same time, the speed of Xiantian Gong was directly accelerated by 50%!
Fifty percent, this is still just getting started. If you read all the Yi Jing, how much will it increase? Moreover, this is not a status skill, but directly increases the upper limit of running speed.
Of course, while proving that Huang Shang's version of the I Ching is valuable, the most important thing is that he found the correct way to open the innate power.
It turns out that understanding Taoist classics will increase the speed of innate skills!
"I'm back!"
Xiaomei was panting and holding a book, which was Huang Shang's version of the Book of Changes. She took a long breath and put her hands on her hips, "Hahaha, I have a keen eye for treasures. Let me tell you, this Book of Changes annotated by Huang Shang
There is only one copy left in the entire bookstore!”
Zhang Junbao asked anxiously: "Why?"
"I smashed his counter with money, and he told me everything immediately. Because the I Ching annotated by Huang Shang was in vernacular, it was not recognized and valued by the public, so it was discontinued after a short run. So although it is very cheap
, but it can be considered a real rarity. Generally, it is only spread within the imperial capital. This boss once visited the imperial capital in the early years, and these five books of Yi Jing were given as free gifts when he purchased the goods."
"Such an easy-to-understand version is actually... given away for free?" Zhang Junbao shook his head and sighed.
Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows, not too surprised. There is a saying that human prejudice is a huge mountain! Especially in this ancient environment, almost no literati would be proud of being understood by ordinary people.
On the contrary, the more obscure and difficult to understand, the more compelling it is.
Just because it is in vernacular, I underestimate the value of Huang Shang's version of the I Ching. Haha, I guess the people who printed the book didn't read it seriously at all.
"By the way, Xiaomei, go to the bookstore now and buy each annotated version of the I Ching and each version of Taoist books."
"...I don't want to serve you anymore!" Xiaomei lay down next to her, spreading her limbs and beating the ground, "You bully me!"
Mr. Ximen also frowned and glared at Zuo Zhou, "There are so many Taoist classics and all kinds of annotated editions. Do you know how many there are? How can you bear to let a little girl go?"
Zuo Zhou choked for a moment, "Okay, I'm just worried. Anyway, there are bookstores in every city. We can buy them later." Then he squatted down and reached out to poke Xiaomei's cheek, "Okay, get up, the ground is cold! Girls can't catch cold.
Yes, it will affect having children in the future.”
Xiaomei o(′^｀)o “Believe me!”
The old man Zuo picked up Zuo Zhou's collar and threw it aside. He squatted down with a smile and said, "Xiaomei, don't pay attention to this brat. Uncle will help you kick his ass. Let's get up and find Prince Consort Xiao and return to the capital as soon as possible."
He kicked Zuo Zhou on his butt.
Xiaomei (o?▽?)o "I just want to give dad face, hum!"
Zuo Zhou was speechless. The two men worked really well together, but his family's status was worrying.
"Okay, let's go. Let's go to Pingle Town first." After Zuo Zhou finished speaking, he helped Xiaomei get on the carriage as if to comfort her. Xiaomei was very proud.
However, after getting on the carriage, Zuo Zhou didn't say much. Instead, he started to study the I Ching. As the speed of his innate skills increased, he couldn't help but sigh. This Huang Shang is really knowledgeable about heaven and man. I just started reading this edition of the I Ching.
I didn’t think anything of it when I read it, but after turning a few more pages, I will find that even if the content becomes more and more profound, I can still read it with the relaxed attitude before. In other words, Huang Shang has read the entire book of the Book of Changes from front to back.
It is explained with the same level of difficulty. As long as you have some knowledge, you can understand the content of the I Ching very well.
What a great talent!
When you get into a book, you will feel that time flies by quickly. Before Zuo Zhou finished reading the entire book, the carriage had already stopped.
"Pingle Town has arrived."
Zuo Zhou raised his head and glanced, "So fast."
"It's not that far to begin with." Mr. Ximen got out of the car first and frowned as he looked at the iron cable across the cliff.
Zuo Zhou got out of the car with the book in hand and glanced down the cliff. "This cliff is not very deep. I estimate it is only a hundred meters. However, the sides are steep and the river below is fast. It can only be crossed with an iron rope."
"Are we going there? Let's hide the carriage first." Zhan Shiqi held the reins and started walking into the nearby woods.
"Wait for me, I'll go over and explore the way first." Zuo Zhou put the book away from his waist, flew up, shook off the chain, and used the skill of Qiansuo Suo to swing over.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to reach the other side, Zuo Zhou suddenly discovered a man hiding in the forest opposite.
This man was wearing the most ordinary commoner clothes. Zuo Zhou was a little surprised by the two strands of hair style similar to dreadlocks on his head. This kind of hair style is generally not seen in the Central Plains. However, after the Qin Dynasty conquered the east and west, it gradually became more common.
, but now the people who use this hairstyle the most are those from the Miao and Xinjiang areas.
Jiannan Road is also close to the original Miao border area, but you have to go further south. It is really rare here!
Zuo Zhou was still slightly suspicious, but the man opposite him was ruthless enough and directly raised three hidden weapons. No, they were snakes.
Hiss, this snake is very small and silver-white all over. It is difficult to see clearly when it is flying in the air. Zuo Zhou was about to use a doll needle to block it, but he found that there was something wrong with the trajectory of the hidden weapon. At the same time, he heard the sound of a small snake.
Ming was the discovery.
I almost capsized in the gutter!
The rope rotated directly to form a shield-like shape in mid-air. The three snakes slammed into the chain shield in unison, but they did not stop there. Instead, they climbed up along the chain to bite him.
Zuo Zhou had already expected it, but it was not the snake itself that had the final say when it climbed up the chain. He just used his strength to make all three snakes fly away.
The man seemed quite surprised when he saw this. Seeing that Zuo Zhou was about to fall, he threw out a smoke bomb, and pink smoke suddenly filled the air. Zuo Zhou did not dare to be careless. After all, he had the same method, just in case the other party added something to the smoke bomb.
If you poop, it's not disgusting.
As soon as he took off his coat and shook his hands to throw off his cassock, he used the Demon Subduing Technique, and the pink mist was dispersed by him before it came over.
"Running very fast!"
After the pink mist dissipated, Zuo Zhou disappeared and the man's figure disappeared. His face was a little ugly. This man's kung fu was average and there was no danger, but the meaning he represented was a bit troublesome.
Why would someone be guarding one end of the rope?
Everyone came quickly along the iron rope. Only Old Man Zuo was not strong enough in martial arts, so he stayed there and watched the carriage and the twins.
"Those things just now..." Master Ximen certainly understood the problems involved, and he became more and more worried about Prince Consort Xiao.
Zuo Zhou thought for a while and suddenly started to patrol around. He quickly smiled and said: "Fortunately, I used less force just now. These three silver snakes are not dead yet. We should follow them secretly and we should be able to find them."
"You still understand this?" Mr. Ximen was surprised.
"Killing the trophies of pit vipers is a way of raising krait. Although it is different from this snake, I know that the raised snake will automatically crawl back to its owner." Zuo Zhou said as he walked forward, this kind of use
The silver snake, which was used as a hidden weapon, moved very quickly and came out of the jungle in a short time.
The closer everyone got to Lezhen, the more vigilant they became, and they did not stop until they entered a small courtyard from a distance.
"What's next?" Zhang Junbao looked around, "This place is quite remote. Although it's within the confines of Pingle Town, it doesn't have much contact with other people."
Mr. Ximen frowned slightly and said softly: "There are three horses in the horse pen in the yard. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least three people in the yard. Although it is a little far from the center of Pingle Town, it will easily attract attention once a fight begins. If there are still enemies,
Reinforcements will be back within a quarter of an hour, I'm afraid."
Zuo Zhou glanced towards Pingle Town and then said: "Remember this place first, let's enter the town."
Zuo Zhou got up and walked directly to Pingle Town, even walking a few steps faster. Everyone was a little surprised, what was the hurry?
"Hey buddy, why are you here? We are really destined!"
"If you have a choice, I don't want you to be destined to me."
Zuo Zhou put his arm around the shoulders of a young man who looked a bit familiar. The young man's tone seemed a little helpless, but he did not resist Zuo Zhou's behavior.
However, when the young man turned half of his face to speak, everyone paused and did not come closer.
Mr. Ximen had a cold face and leaned against Xiaomei and asked in a low voice: "Who is this that you hate?"
Xiaomei shrugged, "I don't know."
The innate energy in Zuo Zhou's body was running rapidly, and the innate energy suppressed the annoying feeling, "What? People from the Xingxiu Sect have gone to Jiannan Road?"
He Ran shook his head, "I have broken away from the Xingxiu Sect, and I should be hunted by the Xingxiu Sect now."
"Huh? Why, did you steal Ding Chunqiu's sacred wooden king tripod or secretly learn his energy-transforming method?" Zuo Zhou was amused.
"No, I just had a friendly exchange of martial arts knowledge with him."
Zuo Zhou curled his lips and obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't care. He asked with a smile: "Then why did you wander here?"
He Ran paused, "What about you?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"What a coincidence, I'm looking for someone too."
Zuo Zhou looked at this guy meaningfully, "We shouldn't be looking for the same person...right?"
He Ran was silent, "Why don't we talk about it together."
"My lord!" "My younger brothers and sisters!"
"..."×2
Zuo Zhou was instantly filled with righteous indignation, "What I hate most in my life are human traffickers, but I am curious, why do human traffickers sell two children together? Did the seller specifically designate twins?"
"I don't know what kind of human trafficker sells adults. That one should be called Ren Yazi!"
Huh? Zuo Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
In this world, there are actually some differences between human yazi and human traffickers. Human traffickers just steal children just like in previous lives, while renyazi is more like a middleman who sells slaves. Many refugees take the initiative to sell their children into wealthy families as slaves when they cannot survive.
As a maid.
But the problem is that in previous lives, human traffickers not only abducted children, but also women, but the methods were mostly deception. Of course, there were also many violent abductors of organs.
Since He Ran is an exile, why does he have no idea about this matter? Could it be that human traffickers were completely eliminated in 3333? That would be a great merit!
"What I'm looking for is a lost person. He may be injured." Zuo Zhou explained with a smile.
He Ran suddenly understood, and then said with a somewhat sad tone, "It's not the two children I'm looking for, it's just... I don't know if they are a younger brother or a younger sister."
As soon as Zuo Zhou said this, nothing happened, but the people behind him were greatly touched. The child must have been abducted and trafficked when he was just born. The older brother couldn't even tell the difference between male and female. How pitiful!
But what Zuo Zhou heard was another explanation. Haha, it was probably that one of the exiles had the bad luck to die and was reincarnated, so He Ran didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl when he came over.
"By the way, how did you get in touch with your relative who is your sister or brother?" Zuo Zhou asked curiously.
He Ran paused for a moment, "This... you'll know it when you see it. Well, you guys don't have a place to stay yet, so come with me first. The inn where I'm staying has a lot of rooms."
