People who come into contact with martial arts on the first day will definitely not get started so quickly.
Jiang Zhihong had already anticipated this.
His plan was to wait until enough people had the acupoints opened before he could start teaching the next exercise.
As long as the acupuncture point is opened, even if there is only one, it means that you have completely mastered the trick.
And these people who have opened the acupuncture points can give guidance to the remaining people.
Therefore, Jiang Zhihong walked back and forth at the city gates on all sides, demonstrating and explaining Zongyun Jin over and over again.
Chu Wei walked through the crowd, and every time he passed a certain distance, he would guide one person to assume the correct posture, and let others follow suit.
Time slowly comes to evening.
Jiang Zhihong lowered his posture and shouted loudly with the last bit of his strength: "All those who have opened the acupuncture points should come to the city gate to register, but if there is anything to hide, once discovered, they will be kicked out of the wind drum and never come near!
"
At this moment, the barrier of knowledge and vision is not only the imperial court, but also a tool of the Tao of Peace.
It also became Jiang Zhihong's tool.
Except for babies, every one of the millions of people outside the city was firmly controlled by Jiang Zhihong.
After Jiang Zhihong left, Xu Chong took the initiative to change his appearance and blended into the crowd.
As for what shape to use, that’s really easy to figure out.
Not to mention that there were so many new deaths on the way to Fenggu, even in Fenggu County at this time, people with weak bodies were still dying every day.
No matter what time, as long as you are close to the mass grave, Wuxiang Yi can create a new false appearance.
In this way, Xu Chong disguised himself as a refugee, and as a newly promoted first level, he showed strength and speed far beyond ordinary people.
After the desire of the people around him increased to a higher level, Xu Chong spoke again, deepening these people's fear of intellectual obstacles.
Of course, there is no use in deepening this fear.
The main purpose is to deepen their dependence on Jiang Zhihong in order to cooperate with subsequent plans.
Xu Chong spent the whole night doing this.
Occasionally, he encountered someone who tried to steal other people's food by opening his acupuncture points. Without exception, he would kill him directly. In an extremely shocking way of death, he announced to others the consequences of such behavior.
Overall, it went relatively smoothly.
It's just that time is limited, one person's power is limited, and the number of people who can interfere throughout the night is also limited.
But Xu Chong is not in a hurry, it still takes a long time.
Before dawn, the number of people who successfully opened the acupuncture points was counted.
There are more than 30,000 people who have had one orifice opened.
There are six thousand people who have two orifices opened.
There are only a thousand people who have the three orifices opened.
It is true that there are more enlightened people, but the number is too small, less than twenty people in total.
After dawn, Jiang Zhihong appeared again.
First, everyone's memories were awakened, and then arrangements were made for the enlightened ones.
The areas in all directions were roughly divided into tens of thousands of areas.
Those who have gained the first level of enlightenment have become instructors in these areas, responsible for teaching others in the area to practice Zongyun Jin.
Those who are at level 2 or above are divided into teams of five and brigades of hundreds. They are divided into hierarchical organizations and are responsible for maintaining order among the crowd.
On the third day, the number of new enlightened people began to decrease.
On the fifth day, there were very few new additions.
So on the sixth day, Jiang Zhihong changed his martial arts professor.
This cycle repeats.
On the tenth day, food consumption began to decline slightly.
On the fifteenth day, the first talented person who enlightened the first level was born.
He is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a calm and down-to-earth personality.
This middle-aged man was appointed by Jiang Zhihong to lead 30,000 people with more than 30 enlightened people to go out in search of food.
The 16th day of the year.
Jiang Zhihong was about to go out when he was stopped by Xu Chong.
"You want to catch up with that team and awaken their memories, right?"
Xu Chong asked, and then said: "I'll take care of this."
"you?"
Jiang Zhihong frowned, "I said, you are still young, so don't get involved in this matter."
"You don't have to worry about me."
Xu Chong shook his head, and in front of Jiang Zhihong, he changed his appearance in Wuxiang clothes, "I can always stay in the team and be responsible for awakening the memory."
"Uh... fragments of Huan Zhen Tian?"
Jiang Zhihong was stunned for a while, then thoughtfully said, "No wonder why I think these days are so smooth. You must have done a lot of things secretly, right?"
"Guide public opinion so that those people can only rely on you completely."
Xu Chong replied.
"I see."
Jiang Zhihong nodded, "That's fine, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember not to leave any flaws."
"Don't worry."
Xu Chong smiled and walked away.
Just like that, there was a silent addition to the search team.
This person was quietly influencing the team's search direction, heading towards a certain destination.
…
…
Dingtianfu.
The backyard of the Xue Yi Wei General Office.
Dou Tianyuan and Lou Youzhi sat opposite each other in the pavilion, each with solemn expressions.
A secret message on the table.
The content of the decree is very simple. Let the blood-clothed guards find out if there is anything unusual in Yongzhou recently.
"Are there any abnormalities? Look for abnormalities in natural disasters?"
Lou Youzhi slowly exhaled a breath: "It's really ridiculous."
"It's ridiculous."
Dou Tianyuan's face was expressionless, his cynicism completely gone, "So, the natural disaster is related to your Majesty?"
"No."
Lou Youzhi shook his head, "To be precise, it's not just His Majesty."
"How to say?"
Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Forget it, it's time to tell you about this."
Lou Youzhi looked confused and said, "You know, because of the drought in Bingzhou, I killed many people, many, many people."
"Everyone was killed, and no chickens or dogs were spared."
"But you don't know, I didn't want to kill them, but I had to kill them."
"Because my people rescued the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue who was on his way back to his hometown after becoming an official. He told me that the people who were really stopping the relief..."
Lou Youzhi looked deeply at Dou Tianyuan and slowly uttered three words: "It's the late emperor."
Dou Tianyuan's expression suddenly changed.
He originally thought that it was only the current His Majesty who had a problem, and never thought that the late Emperor also had a problem.
"so……"
After a long time, Dou Tianyuan let out a deep breath and said, "The real problem is the royal family?"
"No."
Lou Youzhi continued, "Because, back then, the prince was on my side."
"then……"
Dou Tianyuan murmured, and the doubts that had been buried for many years were finally solved: "So, the person who killed the refugee was the prince's person?"
"Exactly."
Lou Youzhi gave an affirmative answer, "Not only that, the subsequent impeachment of Jiang Zhihong was also suppressed by the prince's people."
"No wonder……"
Dou Tianyuan looked astonished, "I wonder why there are so many people but no assassin can be found. If it is His Majesty today, then it makes sense."
"In short, what I suspect is not a certain person, but the dragon chair and the position."
Lou Youzhi said, and he himself was a little confused, "What is the reason why a prince who cares about the world began to ignore the government's affairs and became an executioner who committed natural disasters not long after he ascended the throne?"
"Will..."
Dou Tianyuan's eyes suddenly became incomprehensible, "Is it related to Shouyuan?"
"Shouyuan... Indeed, due to the limitation of Taizu's bloodline, the royal family's lifespan is not only not long, but also much shorter than that of normal warriors."
Lou Youzhi frowned, "But how does this relate to natural disasters?"
One is a natural disaster caused by heaven and earth, and the other is an individual's own longevity.
The two concepts were so far apart that he couldn't find any clues to connect them.
"Well, if you don't understand, don't think about it for now. I'd better go and see what's going on over there in Yongzhou."
Dou Tianyuan stood up and was about to push the door open and leave.
"No need."
Lou Youzhi suddenly said, "I know what's going on."
"oh?"
Dou Tianyuan made a move.
"It's Jiang Zhihong."
Lou Youzhi sighed.
"You mean the five hundred thousand shi of food?"
Dou Tianyuan frowned, "I know that Jiang Zhihong used some connections to raise 500,000 shi of food... But this is not an abnormality, right? What's more, His Majesty has known about it for a long time."
"The locust plague has passed for so long, but the court's disaster relief has not been launched. If nothing else, Jiang Zhihong, like us, has begun to doubt the royal family, or his majesty."
Lou Youzhi stood up and turned to face the pond, "If my guess is correct, the abnormality your Majesty calls is that Jiang Zhihong is using his own methods to rescue the victims of the Yongzhou disaster."
"My own method?"
Dou Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed: "Could it be..."
"You are right. If you want to save the entire Yongzhou with 500,000 shi of food, there is only one way."
Lou Youzhi nodded and slowly said a few words: "Yongzhou Buwu."
Dou Tianyuan's face turned completely ugly.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Zhihong, he knew that this was very likely to happen.
No, it should be said that it has already happened.
Dou Tianyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I can delay... delay it for a month."
"No."
Lou Youzhi said calmly, "One month can't change the outcome of Yongzhou."
"Besides, you have already offended His Majesty because of Xu Chong's affairs. If you do this again, I'm afraid you will end up in prison."
"Now that this has happened, Jiang Zhihong's fate is doomed."
"Since he must die, then don't let him die with doubts, let him see everything clearly..."
By the way, let me see what your Majesty's attitude will be.
Lou Youzhi added in his mind.
The two of them were silent.
…
…
Yongzhou.
On the twenty-third day of Buwu, the team looking for food returned.
Returned with a full load.
There are edible young leaves, bark, and roots, as well as some fish, shrimps, snakes, and birds.
The most outrageous thing is 10,000 shi of aged corn.
There are not many things, but they represent the hope of living.
cheer.
Earth-shaking cheers.
On top of the still intact city, Jiang Zhihong rubbed his temples and sighed: "Coming back so soon proves that you haven't gone far at all. Did you get those 10,000 stones of corn?"
"no."
Xu Chong shrugged, "I just happened to let the team choose a direction. In this direction, there happened to be a granary that had been abandoned for many years, and there happened to be a pile of old corn in the granary."
"Oh, you're talking about the southwest, the granary that has been so abandoned that it's covered by woods, right?"
Jiang Zhihong smiled and said, "I've been there before and there was nothing inside."
"Oh, that's really strange."
Xu Chong dealt with it casually.
"That's all, everyone has his own circumstances and his own path."
Jiang Zhihong waved his hand, "But these ten thousand stones of corn can last for a few more days."
"How many days?"
Xu Chong looked at the lights all over the mountains and plains outside the city.
He asked the Hua family to get these grains just to give these people some thoughts and increase their confidence.
With so many people, 10,000 dan would be used up in one day.
unless……
"Seventy percent of people have already opened their acupuncture points."
Jiang Zhihong smiled and told Xu Chong's guess.
"Seventy percent..."
Xu Chong was shocked.
The light reflected in his eyes seemed to shine a lot brighter in an instant.
"You might not believe it if you tell me."
Jiang Zhihong continued, "The 70% refers to all those who have awakened."
"Among them, there are a thousand people with the first level of enlightenment."
"The second level of enlightenment, there are more than three hundred."
"There are seven more, which are the third level of enlightenment!"
As he spoke, Jiang Zhihong stretched out his hand and pointed at the lights slowly passing by: "Can you imagine?"
"These are the most common folk registrations and even craftsman registrations, which are the lowest level for the entire Daqing."
"The light that they could originally shine can actually be so dazzling!"
Xu Chong listened quietly, but his mood did not get better at all.
The greater the potential of the people at the bottom, the more it proves the importance of intellectual and visual barriers to the court.
At the same time, it is more and more proven that Jiang Zhihong's inevitable outcome.
"It's a pity that this dazzling moment is too short-lived."
Jiang Zhihong sighed and walked towards the collapsed tower.
