So for another year, the wind spirit energy, driven by the wind, spreads through the meridians, penetrates the skin outside, and penetrates into the bones.
The wind spirit energy passes through the body, completely cutting off the hair and cleansing the marrow, entering the innate world and gaining mana.
At the end of the year (Linghai Calendar Year 196), Zhao Jin knew that he could not hide it, so he asked Fang Qiongwei to go down the mountain to inform her parents and invite them to come up the mountain to celebrate the New Year.
When the Marquis and his wife arrived, Zhao Jin closed the door and explained to his relatives that he was now practicing cultivation again and hoped that his parents and wife could keep it a secret and not tell anyone, including his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I didn’t mean to hide it from them, it’s just that the time has not come yet and there is no need to publicize it.
The three people understood it and agreed.
…
After the New Year, Zhao Jin used his energy to fly into the sky, and went to the sky to attract wind into his body.
While enjoying the pain of the heavenly wind entering the body, you can also understand the meaning of the wind, and use the sword intention of the wind to attract the wind spiritual energy into the body to improve your cultivation.
This process is very painful. The higher you go, the stronger the wind will be and the pain will be more intense. However, the more wind energy there is, the faster the practice will be.
Zhao Jin gritted his teeth and endured. He was not willing to fail or be a useless person. He also wanted to protect his family.
Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
But the pain is not so easy to bear. I try again and again and suffer again and again.
It took three years to form the loose elixir, and another two years to condense into the golden elixir.
Yuanshen is quite fast, it was born in less than a year. I discovered it unconsciously, and I don’t even know when it appeared.
However, there is no need to go into detail. In short, Zhao Jin finally stood up again after eight years of hardship and six years of being cut into pieces.
…
(Linghai Calendar Year 202) The end of the year, December 11th.
Zhao Jin took his wife down the mountain to celebrate the New Year, but on the surface it was his wife who took him down the mountain.
However, they discovered that there were actually rebels forming a formation outside Taihou City. Looking at the flags, the leader was none other than Lu Shangren, an old enemy.
Zhao Jin felt itchy hands and waved his sleeves to encourage wind.
The strong wind blew several miles away, and when the breeze was gentle, he had already used the sword intention of the wind to control the rebel positions.
Lu Shangren is also a person who has achieved great spiritual success, and he is sensitive to the artistic conception in the wind.
He quickly waved his palms to cut off the mana in the wind.
But Zhao Jinfeng's sword intention had already come out, and he used his weathered sword to attack the entire rebel army.
Finally, Lu Shangren was able to make a big mistake. Although his men were attacked by the wind sword, most of them were injured and the entire army was not wiped out.
"It's a Yuanshen master. You retreat, I'll go meet that person."
"Brother, be careful."
"It's okay. If you can't beat him, I can escape."
"Brother, take care!"
…
Lu Shangren, who was at the rear, flew directly towards Zhao Jin. When he got close, he immediately recognized his old enemy.
"Is it you?"
Zhao Jin held up his hands and said, "Brother Lu, are you okay? I didn't expect that Brother Lu would also give birth to a soul."
Lu Shangren also handed over his hand, "I just came out of seclusion this year. I heard that you have become a cripple, so I came to see you. Originally I just wanted to scold you to relieve my anger, but now it seems that I can have a good fight to vent my anger."
Zhao Jin sighed, "To be honest with Brother Lu, I am also looking for a fight with someone, but seeing Brother Lu's earthy aura, I am in the sky and you are on the ground, we can't fight."
"Uh..." Lu Shangren scratched his head with a headache, "Yes, it seems that my brothers' revenge is really difficult to avenge."
Zhao Jin held up his hands and said, "Brother Lu is a thief and I am a soldier. I was ordered to suppress the bandits at that time, but I couldn't help myself."
Lu Shangren sighed, "I understand, but this blood debt will have to be settled one day."
"Brother Lu, your people have left. If you don't mind, why not come to my house for a drink."
"No, I accept your offer not to pursue me, but you want me to drink with you, but I'm still not in the mood. I'm not an official like you. I'm hypocritical and can laugh at anyone. Let's go. See you later.
.”
Lu Shangren handed over his hand, then turned around and left, shrinking down to an inch and leaving quickly.
Zhao Jin laughed and said goodbye, "Brother Lu, have a good trip. Come and play when you have time."
"My husband and he are enemies, right? Why is this happening?"
"Madam, I don't understand. Those who have achieved spiritual success are mostly open-minded people. They hate to hate and drink to drink."
"I really don't understand."
"Ma'am, please, let's go home too."
…
Hou Mansion.
When they heard that their son had become a spiritual master, the couple was so surprised that they couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
Zhao Jin asked about the current situation, and the Marquis spoke slowly while drinking.
Since the fifth prince ascended the throne, he was supposed to work hard to govern, but the weather was not right - Da Lian actually went south.
He also looked at the Zhao brother Ni Qiang, who took the throne from his brother, and Zhao Jin, the commander-in-chief, was deposed. He thought that the situation in Zhao was corrupted and the internal chaos was a good time for invasion.
It happened that Da Lian had been recuperating for many years, and the new generation had grown up, and their numbers were large, and their military strength was even stronger than before.
In addition, the slaves of the Zhao people forged weapons, armor, and magic weapons, refined elixirs, and drew talismans, and the equipment was even better than in the past.
On the other hand, the soldiers on Da Zhao's side were scattered, their equipment was not well equipped, and the entire border was in disarray.
It was only because Lord Lingxu called on all the academy sects to lead their masters to guard the border that the defeat was stopped.
But the border is long, 30 million miles, and those experts can only divide the territory and station it there for a long time.
As a result, there was no one in Zhao to suppress him, and all the princes and aristocratic families united together.
Although he did not openly raise the flag of rebellion, he turned a blind eye to the orders of the royal city and disobeyed them.
The fifth prince wanted to revitalize the Zhao Dynasty, but he was powerless. If it weren't for the imperial guards at his side, he might have been assassinated long ago.
The rebel army seems to be cooperating with Da Lian and has become more active over the years.
Especially after the front of Da Lian's army was blocked and could no longer go south, the rebel army seemed to be funded by Da Lian, and its equipment became better and there were more talismans.
In short, they are operating everywhere in Da Zhao.
The most terrifying thing is that the number of Zhao people in the rebel army is increasing.
This was forced by the local government, which imposed excessive taxes and corrupted the administration of officials, forcing them to become thieves in order to survive.
If things continue like this, Great Zhao will perish!
…
Zhao Jin had no other choice but to continue practicing.
With him, a master of Yuan Shen, here, everyone can be safe.
Zhao Jin thought about going to see Yamazaki, but in the end he decided not to go. Now that he was not in a hurry, he might as well save the opportunity.
…
The other side.
The mountainous area where Yamazaki is located has developed into a village over the years.
They are all refugees who cannot stay at home and hide in the mountains to live.
Each divides its own territory and does not interfere with each other.
Yamaqi and Gu Ling'er also had to use fence posts to fence off their fields and orchards.
Fortunately, the mountains are vast, and you can circle them however you like. Although the later ones were jealous, they didn't fight for it.
However, as the population increased, various industries slowly emerged, including rebel armies.
Finally, they didn't take away everyone's things, but distributed them.
Many people were moved, and then were beguiled to join the rebellion.
Yamazaki didn't care about this and just asked Gu Ling'er to prepare things and retreat at any time.
As a result, the news about him leaked out, and Lu San'er's daughter-in-law came and built a small courtyard nearby to live in. She came to visit every day to help out, saying she was filial to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki was speechless and could only do this for now.
Then Lu San'er came out of seclusion and brought a rebel army over, and this unknown village became his territory.
Gu Ling'er laughed so hard that her stomach ached, while Yamazaki felt very weak. In a complete circle, he was a thief again.
