Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 55 054. Born Free
The way of travel in this era is actually very monotonous.

Although things like maps can be used as a reference, most people don't have them.In the Sui Dynasty, although maps were not explicitly prohibited, some people tacitly agreed not to circulate them.

As for the specific reasons, there are many reasons. Firstly, in this era, the role of maps is not just for guiding the way.Fighting also depends on it. Once you get the map, you will know which route can be taken and which route cannot be taken.And if there are more detailed maps, such as marking what mountains are in a certain place, and what rivers are in a certain place, that would be even more remarkable.

Almost equivalent to the existence of military secrets.

Therefore, ordinary people generally do not have any maps in their hands.

But what if you want to go out without a map?
It's very simple, find the official way.

First of all, you need to know the approximate direction of where you want to go, then find the official road along that direction, and then walk along the official road.

After the first emperor unified the Central Plains, in line with the requirement of "books with the same text, and cars with the same track", countless official roads began to link from Xianyang to the world.

It has evolved into a dense network over hundreds of years.

Generally speaking, it is safe to walk along the official road, because whether it is a merchant or an army, taking this official road with better road conditions is the best choice.

In addition, at intervals, post stations are set up for the country to transmit news, and there are some shops doing business on both sides of the official road. As long as you are not stupid and can understand people's language, you can always find you when you go from station to station. where to go.

The same is true for Li Zhen.

However, Qimo is rather special.

At the beginning of its construction, it existed to guard against the monster race. It belonged to the "outpost" camp, and later it gradually evolved into a city.

Once it is discovered that the monster race is invading, it is up to the local defenders to defend or retreat.Just get the message out as soon as possible.

Therefore, on the road extending from Qiemo all the way to the Central Plains in Guannei, the network of post stations was very developed.

But with the passage of time, those demon clans that were expelled have been quiet for hundreds of years, and there are fewer and fewer post stations here at Qiemo, and in the end, only the Qianfu Mountain post station is still in operation.Everything else gradually fell into disrepair.

As I said before, Qiemo is an outpost city. Strictly speaking, it has been "out of the circle".And before Qiemo appeared, the important place to guard against the monster race in Xiliang was in Qianfu Mountain.

Thousand husbands mountain, as the name suggests, the mountain of a thousand husbands... this is just a joke.

The reason why it is called this name is because this place is a natural danger, surrounded by towering mountains that are difficult to climb, but this Qianfu Mountain is a pass, and there is a naturally formed narrow road about the width of about ten people.Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is said that this place got its name because a thousand soldiers once resisted tens of thousands of monsters for three days and nights.

To be honest, even Qiemo Dongshan belongs to the remaining foot of the mountain range where Qianfu Mountain is located.

Qiemo and the people from the three surrounding outpost towns must go to Qianfu Mountain if they want to enter the customs.On this point, Li Zhen's master had already chatted with him as if he was chatting with him when he was alive.

So after leaving the city, he wasn't too flustered.

Although it has snowed twice, the outline of the official road can still be seen, and it can be seen that people often walk there.

Li Zhen only needs to walk east along the official road.

Guided by the surrounding mountains and the sun above his head, he was actually quite happy along the way.

After all, after a snowfall, the world is so white and clean.

Walking on the road, as there are fewer and fewer pedestrians living in some villages around, the snow on the official road is getting whiter and the footprints are getting less and less.

As you walk, you will have a sense of sight that you are the only one left in the whole world.

But when he was bored, he tried his best to sense the qi in his body while walking.

He discovered that it turns out that one can practice while walking.

It's just that you need to be distracted by the road under your feet.

And the heat flow in the body is also slightly sluggish.When impacting the acupuncture points, the posture will be different according to your own pace, sometimes it is late, sometimes it is fast.

Not to mention, it's fun.

As long as you can keep your pace, or maintain a standard body movement, even if the heat flow in your body is fast and slow, after you get used to it, it will naturally form a pattern.

With this discovery, he was neither cold nor tired, but felt that his steps became more and more relaxed.

……

This walk, then walked all day.

When night fell, he finally saw a deserted inn.

All the houses in the station collapsed, leaving only a few low earthen walls.

And when he stepped in, he also saw some animals running away in fright.

Apparently they call this place home.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm staying overnight, I don't intend to disturb you, don't blame me."

He said something to himself, obviously those voles and sparrows couldn't understand.

He checked the dilapidated house and found that there was not even a pot.But the windows have a few wooden frames, so it's not bad.

"Go chop wood."

hum~
The golden tower appeared again, and the wood near the window turned into pieces of broken wood.

He took out the tinder and ignited it directly, and the weathered wood burned quickly.

Dispelled the severe cold around the fire.

After unscrewing the gourd, he came to the present from time travel and drank the "first sip of wine" in his life.

The wine is a bit sour, and the alcohol content is not high, it is far worse than the white wine in the previous life.

But he is also quite satisfied.

He casually picked up a fairly clean tile, blew on the floating dirt on it, went to the yard to find a piece of snow with no animal footprints, brought back a handful, and took out some brown rice from the bag.

The tiles heat the snow water, and the brown rice absorbs the snow water.

It didn't take long for Yiwa to say that it is raw or not, but the "porridge" that is very rough is ready.

He didn't dislike being dirty, he held the tiles and finished the porridge, which was less than half a bowl full. He put the burden under his head, turned his head up, and looked at the clear and shining galaxy in the sky.

Speaking of which, he also felt miserable.

A traveler doesn't do salt making, paper making, etc. to make money, and he doesn't have enough food and clothing every day.

Worst of all... Get a few snacks out, and make a stir-fry dish that doesn't exist yet, so it won't be so miserable.

But in fact, Li Zhen's thinking is quite simple.

What can I do if I was so rich in my previous life?In the half a year after the cancer cells spread throughout his body, chemotherapy, dialysis, and pain made him experience almost all the tortures in the world.

Especially in the last few days, the urine bag was hung, and the urine bag was full of blood.

He really didn't want to feel the burning pain from the urinary bladder to the whole body, like a needle prick.

What about now?
What's wrong with being poor?
I'm not starving.

So what if it's miserable?
I am not freezing again.

A brand new life, a healthy body, and a reborn person.

According to him who has already died once, desire for food, desire for money, lust for women... well, this is to be determined.

In short, if these things can't jump out after living for two lifetimes, then just find a piece of tofu and kill them.

Looking at the sky full of stars, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

how comfortable...

The vast world, the boundless starry sky.

we were born...

Already free.
