There are endless creatures in the ancient continent, but after millions of years of development, generally speaking, ordinary humans are still the main ones, accounting for more than half of the population.
Although they are ordinary human beings, they have long lost all the supernatural powers of the original human race, and their base has been reduced to the lowest limit. However, because of the abundant spiritual energy and fertile land in the whole world, the living people are naturally extraordinary.
Because we breathe fresh air mixed with fairy spirit and without pollution, and eat water and grain plants that have been infected by boundless vitality, even if we cannot absorb the spiritual energy and vitality, we are passively nourished, so everyone's human body is nourished. Build a healthy body and have extraordinary courage.
And since Shen Nong tasted the herbs, Xuanyuan, Qi Bo waited for the emperor's internal canon, and the Medicine Buddha founded the medical science, the development of human medicine has long formed a complete system. Combined with Taoist health-preserving techniques, some living and dead people, flesh and bones, have been produced. He is a famous doctor, so even people with no cultivation can easily fight tigers and leopards. As long as they don't encounter natural disasters, they can easily live for hundreds of years.
Although the precarious and difficult days of ancient times have long gone, under the environment where people live and work in peace and contentment, they have begun to have higher pursuits. Immortality is naturally highly sought after for cultivating immortals and visiting Taoism, and immortality has flourished.
However, practicing cultivation is not easy. In addition to having a predestined relationship with immortals, you also need to have wisdom, strength, understanding, and good luck.
Moreover, immortals attach great importance to cause and effect. Once you become an immortal, you will have to live in seclusion in the mountains and stay away from the mortal world unless you practice the method of entering into the human world, such as serving as an official in the Dragon Court, being restrained by others, contributing your strength, and not being free. The state system will take responsibility for cause and effect. Use a pure mind to understand the wonderful Dharma of the Immortal Way.
Therefore, although there are countless believers in various sects, most of them are just ordinary people. In addition to cultivating noble morals, accumulating negative virtues, and being protected by sects to a certain extent, they are no different from other ordinary people and can truly worship each other. In sects and sects, those who learn advanced immortal magic are very rare, and ordinary believers will never be able to access higher levels of power in their lifetime.
However, this situation has been completely changed after the rise of martial arts. Compared with the high and mysterious Tao of Immortals, martial arts is very down-to-earth, easy to get started, and does not require so high qualifications. Moreover, it does not need to be austere, and everyone can practice it. , even if you can't achieve anything, you can still keep fit.
However, the so-called poor in culture and rich in martial arts, although the requirements for martial arts cultivation are low, it relatively requires more resources. Especially after Shattered Void, not only will more resources be required, but the cultivation speed will also be slower.
After Xuanming was named the leader of martial arts, he began to spread martial arts widely in the three realms. With the cooperation of the Qin government, it was very effective. Children are given training. As for the Da Qin General School, it is a compulsory course. People without martial arts cannot become military attachés.
Now more than 100,000 years have passed, and the development of martial arts has already been extremely vigorous. At the top, all people with extraordinary cultivation basically practice both immortality and martial arts in order to make up for their shortcomings. Even if they can go further together, The other one will never slack off either.
For example, the saints and their ilk have long been able to absorb the infinite energy of chaos and have no bottlenecks in their path. They have already cultivated the saint's legal body to the same level as the Yuanshen. The quasi-sages below cannot absorb the energy of chaos, and their speed is much slower. You can only rely on accumulation of resources, and you will not be able to reach the heights of immortality for a while.
However, at the bottom, there are countless people who practice martial arts. Many people with extraordinary family backgrounds have no shortage of resources, but they have no wisdom to cultivate immortality, and they are reluctant to part with the wealth and honor in the world. They are all overjoyed when martial arts is born, so they specialize in martial arts.
Therefore, although martial arts has only been spread for more than 100,000 years, it has quickly been strongly pursued and admired by a series of aristocratic families and the landlord class. The number of practitioners has long exceeded that of immortals. Wherever you go, you can see qi and blood rising to the sky.
A warrior with tremendous strength in every move he makes.
Moreover, as martial arts flourished, no saint established a religion, and luck flourished. People with small achievements in various places started to establish sects, and various martial arts sects sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, quickly filling the gap in the underlying strength.
Although Liu Bang did not belong to any sect, and his family was not rich and powerful, as the former chief of the Sishui Pavilion of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was responsible for the security of a land with a radius of hundreds of miles. He was also a military attaché, so he was certainly not an ordinary person.
In fact, Liu Bang once studied in the Pei County Martial Arts Academy, and his strength has long been innate. It is not difficult to defeat a thousand people among ordinary people. This is why he became a local snake in a county with millions of people like Pei County.
, otherwise there are many powerful people in the county, and without Da Qin’s official status, he would have been tortured to death long ago.
The basic martial arts code he practiced is said to be the official martial arts secret code issued by the military. It is derived from the supreme martial arts secret book of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Bingjia Wu Jing. Although it looks quite satisfactory, it is very comprehensive and has no shortcomings in all aspects.
board, and the foundation building effect is top-notch. There is no obstacle to modifying other secrets later.
A group of tens of thousands of hard laborers were all managed by Liu Bang alone, traveling across mountains and rivers, escorting food and wages, from Peixian County to places thousands of miles away to work as coolies.
There are very few people here who have some cultivation level. Most of them are ordinary people. They are all from Peixian County. They were unlucky and were drafted by the government, so they had no choice but to leave their hometowns.
With Liu Bang's status, he could not be included in the conscription list. Unfortunately, the Xinchu regime was very unfriendly to people who had had connections with the Qin Dynasty. The higher-ups learned that Liu Bang had served as a pavilion chief and asked him to participate by name. As for the other
Xiao He, who passed by the Immortal Officials, had already woken up before the golden wind had stirred the cicada, and ran away in advance and disappeared.
"Ku Ye, this is killing me, Lao Liu!"
Taking a look at the sparse team, the number of people was half less than when they first set out on the road. The remaining people were all sallow and thin, tired and exhausted, as if they would fall down at any time. Thinking of the consequences of not being able to deliver the goods on time, Liu Bang was filled with fear.
Along the way, within a few hundred miles, the number of people was reduced by half. They either ran away halfway or died of illness and exhaustion. With such a small number of people, it was impossible to complete the task, and the consequence of failing to complete the task was naturally the death penalty.
By the way, the overlord of Western Chu always said that the Qin regime was tyrannical and cruel to the people, but after he restored the country, it was not much better. He abolished many Qin laws and did not take corresponding measures to supplement them, which made the territory chaotic and the people suffered.
The hardship is that local governments act according to their preferences, use public tools for private purposes, and amass excessive amounts of money as routine operations.
"I heard that not long ago, there were heroes Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township who revolted. They raised poles as flags and chopped trees as soldiers. They attacked the city a little lower and created a great momentum. Under the banner of the second emperor, they wanted to rebel against Chu and restore Qin.
The world is bright and clear."
Just when Liu Bang was frowning and thinking about whether he should go home and ask his father-in-law, who seemed to have a lot of background, to solve the current crisis, Cao Shen, who was also captured as a coolie next to him, said quietly.
