For several days, some people were afraid and fearful, while others were looking forward to it. However, the thunder light in the distance finally went out. After Chen Yu stopped spreading, it turned into a breeze and blew away, bringing with it dark clouds, rain and dew and disappearing.
Entering the county town quietly, he saw that the people around him were still talking about the matter. A few people took out the story of the thunder and death that happened in Luocheng, Jinzhou, and exaggerated it to scare the rest of the people around him.
He was stunned for a moment.
I couldn't help but have some doubts about the Taoist Lord Shan Punishing Thunder whom he said was in charge.
After walking through several places, Chen Yu encountered mountains and rivers, spent a lot of time plowing through water, and lingered on the natural autumn scenery and medicinal plants scattered in the mountains and forests. Therefore, by the time he arrived at Linjiang Mansion, news from far away had already spread.
Entering a place thousands of miles away.
In line with recent events, the atmosphere of discussion became heated.
Along with this, there is also a craze for worshiping Thunder God in various places, and the big landlords rarely restrain themselves a little under the threat of being struck by lightning.
He was not surprised by this. He had obviously expected it when he used the Ten Thousand Magic Mirror to perform the spell, and then stopped it. This deterrence must have lasted for a long time.
It's like a sharp sword hanging above your head, especially in areas swept by thunder waves.
It's just that the action was too rough. Chen Yu, who had some understanding, did not continue to act like this. Although it was satisfying to act boldly, using it without restraint would only indulge his heart.
During this short journey, he was not only appreciating the beauty of the mountains and rivers, but also analyzing himself. Over a period of time, he repeatedly eliminated distracting thoughts and maintained purity. Although his mental power did not show any increase or change, his spiritual platform was much brighter, and his words and deeds were smooth and natural.
My spirit and even my blood have become slightly more harmonious.
This was a good thing. Chen Yu had seen descriptions of the state of mind in Taoist scriptures, but they were very vague. He realized that he could move in a similar direction, cleansing the consciousness of the spiritual platform every day and clearing away the dust in his heart.
"In cultivating the Tao, I seek to be at ease and to follow my heart."
Since there is no vision to help the world, there is no need to dwell on it.
He is not a practicing ruthless person, but he also has no interest in Chongli Yichao.
Help within the scope of our ability, just like when we first came down from the mountain a year ago, we will take action when we encounter injustice, but we will not indulge in it and do not affect too much.
The movements are also more subtle and rarely noticed.
Gradually, Chen Yu became more and more relaxed. The awkwardness and boredom of a few days ago were gone. He knew that he had found the right path and had some understanding.
The general trend of the world and the rolling waves have their own direction.
Perhaps what he can do is to provide appropriate guidance in some places. As for how far he can reach it and what the final results will be, it depends on the efforts of the people in this place.
In an inn, Chen Yu was sitting alone in a corner.
Looking at the seemingly empty streets in Huayin County, I heard from the waiter that the imperial court had conducted four consecutive conscriptions recently, and soon there was news that the fifth time was coming soon, so many people fled to other places, and Jiangnan had already left
Without shelter, most of the villages were left with only orphans and children.
He ordered two plates of vegetarian dishes and poured a pot of rice wine. Originally, Chen Yu didn't like wine. He preferred the mellow and sweet fruit pulp to the pungent and pungent wine.
It's not that I can't drink it, I just don't like the taste.
But rice wine is an exception.
The taste is light, made from land grains, and the aroma is fragrant with field vegetation, soothing the throat without being too irritating.
In fact, even if he wanted to drink fruit juice, he had nowhere to go. There were not many fruit trees in the floating field, and none of the cultivated fruit berries were transplanted, and they were all left on Qingtai Mountain.
I thought that Yamashita would have enough ingredients to select and cultivate, but as a result, I still haven't cultivated one with a taste that suits me. It's either too juicy or too sour.
I met a passerby on the road who had a good drink, so I recommended rice wine to him. His eyes lit up when he tasted it for the first time. The aftertaste was long and rich, with a unique flavor.
His thoughts returned from the sake to the present. He was no stranger to Huayin. As early as last year, he met a great doctor when he was going down the mountain. The doctor who gave him the "Feng Pu San Dan" left a lasting impression on him.
Shallow impression.
"I never thought that one year later, I would have arrived in Huayin, Dr. You's hometown."
You Kewei has outstanding martial arts skills. At that time, he discovered that this person's physique was beyond ordinary people and he was a first-class martial artist. There were not many such masters not only in one county, but also in the entire martial arts world.
With superb medical skills and strong martial arts, it is no wonder that he can go from Huayin in the south of the Yangtze River to Guangyong in the southwest, spanning half a beam from east to west.
He didn't know where You Kewei was now. He heard from the other party that he was compiling books to study pharmacology, and he estimated that he should be in southern Xinjiang now. There are many mountains and rivers there, and there are many plants, trees, and medicinal plants, many of which are not known to the outside world.
However, you may also go to the northwest. I heard that unique medicines grow in snowfields, deserts and other terrains. You Kewei may go there if you are curious.
After filling his stomach, Chen Yu temporarily went to his room to rest.
Take out a roll of paper from the wonder, seven or eight pages, and wrap it with a string into a tube shape.
This is what he transcribed using his energy after deliberately restraining himself over the past few days.
At the beginning, he mainly focused on some of what he had seen and heard in his previous life, but he soon realized that this approach was inappropriate. There were many differences between the two worlds from culture to system, from population to geography, and copying them would only be counterproductive.
The world is different, and the truth will also become false. Of course, it is more likely that these things are not based on a certain background and no one can understand them.
So I changed the content, deleted those that were unrealistic, and changed it to focus on practicality.
Looking at it now, the proposition of how to save the common people is too grand, and it is somewhat different from Chen Yu's starting point. He does not want to save anyone, but more because he does not want to see ordinary people unable to eat, clothe and warm, and freeze to death on the road.
After much thought, I decided to provide guidance for the world in some practical ways.
"I still remember the first time I came down from the mountain and saw that the valleys in the fields below were suffering from thin harvests under the dry sun. At that time, I was still thinking about cultivating a high-yielding crop."
It's just that this idea has gone a bit far, and later I was more immersed in the exploration of the unknown.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He recalled for a moment, and then he wrote down several defective products that appeared during the inspiration-induced cultivation process. Although they were only defective products and did not have anything special, the advantages of these plants were
It can be promoted - at least it won't be a problem in the southwest.
In addition to the experience related to planting, there are also some simple prescriptions on the hand scroll, such as treating summer heat, abdominal distension, and some joint diseases of the hands and feet. These were also discovered while he was exploring techniques and tinkering with elixirs, and the combination of many herbs was perfect.
The effect can be exerted after mixing.
"Well, the planting of fruit trees... there is no need to write about this. The ones planted before and after are all spiritual plants. How to improve and inoculate ordinary fruit trees needs to be studied."
In fact, he still has a lot of crops on hand that can bring about more changes. He usually doesn't think about it in detail, but now after sorting it out, he suddenly realizes that he has created so many things in a daze.
Most of them are useless to me, and they are not even spiritual plants. However, they have more or less certain advantages over the crops grown under the mountains.
Considering his original intention, Chen Yu only selected a few improved crops such as spring millet and autumn wheat, which could bring high yields. He recorded them on the hand scroll and ripened a piece in the wonderful scenery.
Nowadays, hundreds of kilograms of grain are piled up in small mountains on the corner.
Chen Yu thought for a moment, looked through the scroll and then put it away. He held on to his plan to throw it out now and prepared to visit more places in Daliang. The cultivation of new crops cannot be spread all over the world. Different regions have different conditions.
The soil fertility and climate vary, so crops naturally need to be differentiated.
The things he has now in the southwest and northwest are very suitable for planting, but they will not work in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.
We still have to see if we can breed and improve some from local crops.
"Besides, who to give it to and how to give it to are also issues worthy of careful consideration."
Not only in terms of food, Chen Yu is now also paying attention to some areas that are usually ignored, such as Baigong.
At a certain moment, I was thinking about it and concentrated on it.
When I figured out how to do it, an ethereal mood arose in the air, just like a candle flame.
Chen Yu was stunned. At that moment, his spirituality seemed to have suddenly risen a little. It was very weak, but his perception was not wrong.
He quickly came to his senses and realized something.
"Is this also a kind of spiritual practice?"
His eyebrows were raised slightly, showing a smile.
Chen Yu couldn't tell whether it was related to active spirituality or whether it was a way of self-cultivation, but it was a good thing anyway.
"I once heard that there are three spiritual realms: I know myself and I am not myself, so I am."
He should be in the state of knowing me now, assuming that this state really exists.
Chen Yu thought about it carefully, summed up the fleeting inspiration and feelings, and gradually came up with some ideas.
"The root of spirituality lies in the self. If the self is confused and confused, the spirituality will be muddy and weak. If the self is clear and awakened, the spirituality will be thick and clean."
Just like the thick cocoon he had seen covering himself, it was condensed from spirituality.
"The emergence of spiritual power can be seen as the starting point of spiritual growth and transformation. It is caused by the light and power that burst out at the moment of self-awakening. However, the extent to which it can be transformed later depends on the degree of self-awakening."
He looked at himself, looking inside his body and mind.
Knowing myself, not myself, therefore I am, Chen Yu judged, maybe after awakening oneself, one begins to embark on the road of ‘knowing myself’. As for whether the subsequent state of ‘not-self’ is reached, this is only a speculation and remains to be discussed.
Perhaps knowing oneself is all there is to spiritual practice. This is not impossible. Digging deep into the roots of one's self and finally realizing one's true self may not be a different path.
He made a conjecture based on the spiritual changes just now. Self-awakening is only the first step, and then it needs to be combined with spiritual understanding to know the fundamental desires, so as to feed back to spirituality and gain enhancement.
"Seek what you gain and know how to practice, and you will be able to strengthen yourself."
Studying things to gain knowledge?
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment and no longer thought about anything else.
…
In mid-November of the first year of Zhang He, a chill suddenly hit from the north. Then, before the people in Hejian had recovered from the suddenly cold weather, streaks of beacon smoke rose from the towers.
The sky is blocked and the sun is blocked, telling the emergency!
Two days later, the imperial court received an urgent call from Eight Hundred Miles: After seven months, the puppet Qi from the north invaded the border again.
Jianye, Minghe Hall.
"Everyone, we received a report from the front line. Two days ago, the Puppet Qi sent 80,000 troops to the border. Duke Wu went west to suppress the rebellion. The border troops are short of horses. There have been many rebellions by rebels in the river, and food supplies are scarce."
"Let's discuss how to deal with the enemy?"
On the throne, Emperor Liang sat upright, his face rarely lifted up a bit.
A pair of eyes glanced at the officials sitting below, and they could only hear whispers and discussions, but no one stood up to speak out.
After a long time, a burly general wearing Mingguang armor stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, his tone was sonorous, but his words were flashing: "Your Majesty, do you want to order Wu Guogong to be transferred back urgently? It's difficult in the north and the frontier army is weak. I'm afraid.
It is really difficult to resist the false Qi Bingfeng."
As soon as he said these words, another red-robed civil servant came out.
"General Luo's words are reasonable. Duke Wu is the pillar of the Liang Kingdom. If he can lead the army, the puppet Qi will be defeated!"
"That's wrong!"
Another person stood up and rebuked him in a nonchalant manner, and then he lowered his body towards Liang Huang and said, "The Duke of Wu is certainly a talented military strategist, but the fierce bandits in the northwest are so fierce that if they are not dealt with, they will probably lose their tail. Even if there are Dukes of Wu and others,
With soldiers and horses working together, it will not be easy to calm down."
"Moreover, it has been more than ten days since we led the army to march westward. It has cost a lot of people to eat horses and chew them. Now, if we turn around hundreds of thousands of people at once, it will be a huge waste!"
It seemed that someone had started talking, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became lively and vaguely returned to the previous state. Everyone said something to me, and it was very noisy.
"I have many generals in Daliang. I no longer have the Duke of Wu. I also have various military governors, generals from all directions, and marshals on the left and right. Why worry about being unable to pacify the puppet Qi in every area!"
"Nonsense! Why would Jiedushi act rashly? Regardless of whether he is sitting in the prefecture and it is difficult to mobilize him, he was appeased not long ago. Now if he is allowed to enter and leave the defense on his own, there may be chaos!"
"Hmph! Look at Mr. Ma judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart!"
"You... you are a traitor and a sycophant! You harbor evil intentions!"
"Wrong intentions? The humble minister's heart to serve the country with fists and fists can be seen by the sun and the moon. But on the contrary, you, such clever talkers and treacherous people, live in the temple in vain!"
Above the main hall, a familiar scene was seen. When he heard that many of them actually supported the transfer of Jiedu, Emperor Liang's expression became more and more sullen, but his peripheral vision finally fell on the two leaders of the hundred officials.
One is highly virtuous and respected, and the other is a highly respected official.
At this moment, there was no movement.
"alright!"
After waving his hands, the eunuch on the side quickly shouted to stop the noise in the palace.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Liang said calmly, "Jiedu men guarded the border for the country, and their hard work has made them great achievements. They will not be used in this war."
"The northwest cannot be tolerated either. Wu Guogong needs to be able to stop him in time."
As soon as these words came out, the officials quickly changed their minds. They no longer talked about whether Song Yiyun should come back, and the word "Jiedu" completely disappeared. Instead, they began to discuss which general should be the main road, where to start, and who had the resources.
How to raise food consumption, etc.
After a while of fussing, we came to a conclusion.
General Zhennan went north, and the expenses incurred during the journey were provided by the state capitals along the way.
At this time, the two leaders of the hundred officials who had been sitting idle for the whole scene finally woke up and after slightly changing the direction of their march, they presented themselves to Emperor Liang.
The other party looked at it with an incomprehensible expression, and immediately asked someone to write an imperial edict:
"The general of Zhennan was granted the title of Marquis of Wandu, and a thousand households were provided with food. He immediately set off north to the river and took the position of general on the right. The troops and horses were sent out from the various states along the way as needed, and he also ordered the Yangzhou Navy and Taihu Navy to go to Da Da.
The mouth of the bay is fortified and no one is allowed to cross the river and plunder!"
