Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 136

All beginnings are hard.

Those who are exposed to martial arts on the first day must not be so quick to get started.

Jiang Zhihong had expected this point.

His plan was to wait for enough people to open the acupuncture point before starting the next exercise teaching.

As long as one acupuncture point is opened, even if there is only one, it means that one has completely mastered the trick.

And those who have opened the acupoints can point out the rest.

Therefore, Jiang Zhihong walked back and forth at the four city gates, demonstrating and explaining Zongyun Jin over and over again.

Chu Wei penetrated into the crowd, and every time he passed a certain distance, he would guide one person to pose in the correct posture, and let others follow suit.

Time slowly came to the evening.

Jiang Zhihong retracted his posture, and shouted loudly with the last bit of energy: "All those who have opened their acupuncture points, come to the city gate to register, but those who have concealed things, once discovered, they will be driven out of the wind drum, and they will never come near them! "

At this moment, the obstacle of knowledge and vision is not only the imperial court, but also a tool of the way of peace.

It also became Jiang Zhihong's tool.

Among the millions of people outside the city, except for the babies, one counted as one, and Jiang Zhihong firmly controlled them.

After Jiang Zhihong left, Xu Chong actively changed his appearance and blended into the crowd.

As for what form to use, that's really easy to solve.

Not to mention that there were so many new deaths along the way to Fenggu, even in Fenggu County at this time, there are still people with weak health dying every day.

No matter what time it is, as long as it is close to the mass grave, Wu Xiangyi can create a new false appearance.

In this way, Xu Chong disguised himself as a refugee, and as a newly promoted first-level enlightened person, he showed strength and speed far beyond ordinary people.

After the desire of the people around him reached a higher level, Xu Chong spoke again, deepening these people's fear of the barrier of knowledge and vision.

Of course, there is no use in deepening this fear.

The main purpose is to deepen their dependence on Jiang Zhihong so as to cooperate with the follow-up plan.

The whole night, Xu Chong was doing this.

Occasionally, he met people who wanted to grab other people's food by opening their acupoints, without exception, he killed them directly, announcing the fate of such behavior to others in an extremely horrifying way of death.

Overall, it's been relatively smooth.

It's just that the time is limited, the power of one person is limited, and the number of people who can interfere in a whole night is also limited.

But Xu Chong is not in a hurry, the time is still long.

Before dawn, the number of people who successfully opened the acupoints was counted.

There are more than [-] people who have opened their eyes.

There are 6000 people who have opened two orifices.

There are only a thousand people who can open the three apertures.

It's not that there are more enlightenments, but the number is too small, with a total of less than 20 people.

After dawn, Jiang Zhihong reappeared.

First, everyone's memory was awakened, and then arrangements were made for those who had awakened.

The areas in all directions were roughly divided into tens of thousands of areas.

The ones with the first level of enlightenment have become the instructors of these areas one after another, responsible for teaching other people in the area to practice Zongyun Jin.

For those who are above the second level of enlightenment, five people form a team, and a hundred people form a brigade. They are divided into levels and are responsible for walking among the crowd to maintain order.

On the third day, the number of newly enlightened people began to decline.

On the fifth day, there were very few newcomers.

So on the sixth day, Jiang Zhihong changed the instructor of the exercises.

And so on and on.

On the tenth day, food consumption began to drop slightly.

On the 15th day, the first talented person with the first level of enlightenment 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 [-] people with more than [-] enlightened people to go out in search of food.

No.16 Tian Yinshi.

Jiang Zhihong was about to go out when Xu Chong stopped him.

"Are you going to catch up with that team and wake up their memories?"

Xu Chong asked a question, and then said, "I'll go about this matter."

"you?"

Jiang Zhihong frowned, "The old man 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, changed his appearance with Wuxiang clothes, "I can always stay in the team and be responsible for awakening the memory."

"Uh... fragments of phantom truth?"

Jiang Zhihong was stunned for a while, and then thoughtful, "No wonder I think these days are so smooth, you must have done a lot of things in secret, right?"

"Guide the public opinion, so that those people can only completely rely on you."

Xu Chong replied.

"I see."

Jiang Zhihong nodded, "That's fine, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't leave any lies."

"Do not worry."

Xu Chong smiled and walked away.

Just like that, one more person quietly joined the search team.

This person was quietly influencing the direction of the team's search, heading for a certain destination.

……

……

Dingtianfu.

The backyard of the Xueyiwei General Yamen.

Dou Tianyuan and Lou Youzhi sat opposite each other in the gazebo, each with solemn expressions.

A secret decree on the table.

The content of the decree is very simple, let the blood clothes guard find out whether there is anything unusual in Yongzhou recently.

"Are there any abnormalities? Looking for abnormalities in natural disasters?"

Lou Youzhi exhaled slowly, "It's really ridiculous."

"It's ridiculous."

Dou Tianyuan's face was expressionless, and his cynical expression was completely gone, "So, the natural disaster has something to do with His Majesty?"

"Do not."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "To be precise, it's not just His Majesty."

"How to say?"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Forget it, I should tell you about this."

Lou Youzhi looked puzzled, and said, "You know, because of the drought in Bingzhou, I killed many people, many, many people."

"It's all copying and beheading, leaving no chicken or dog behind."

"But you don't know, I didn't want to kill them, but I had to kill them."

"Because my people rescued the Hubu Shangshu who was on his way back to his hometown after Zhishi, and he told me that the people who are really stopping the relief..."

Lou Youzhi looked at Dou Tianyuan deeply, and slowly uttered three words: "It's the first emperor."

Dou Tianyuan's complexion changed suddenly.

He thought that it was only His Majesty who had a problem today, and never thought that the late Emperor also had a problem.

"so……"

After a long time, Dou Tianyuan let out a deep breath, "The real problem is the royal family?"

"Not at all."

Lou Youzhi continued, "Because, back then, the crown prince was on my side."

"then……"

Dou Tianyuan murmured, the doubts that had been buried for many years were finally solved: "So, the one who killed the refugee was the prince's?"

"Exactly."

Lou Youzhi gave an affirmative answer, "Not only that, Jiang Zhihong's impeachment was also suppressed by the prince's people."

"No wonder……"

Dou Tianyuan looked stunned, "I said why so many people can't find an assassin. If it's His Majesty today, then it makes sense."

"In short, what I suspect is not a certain person, but the dragon chair and that position."

As Lou Youzhi said, he was also a little puzzled, "What is the reason why a prince with a heart for the world, not long after he ascended the throne, began to ignore the government and become an executioner who committed natural disasters?"

"Will it be..."

Dou Tianyuan's eyes suddenly became inexplicable, "Is it related to Shouyuan?"

"Shouyuan... Indeed, limited by the blood of the Taizu, the lifespan of the royal family is not only not long, but it is much shorter than that of normal warriors."

Lou Youzhi frowned, "But how is this related to natural disasters?"

One is the natural disasters caused by heaven and earth, and the other is the individual's own longevity.

These two concepts are so far apart that he can't find any clues to connect the two.

"Forget it, don't think about it if you don't understand it, I'd better go and see what's going on in Yongzhou."

Dou Tianyuan got up and was about to open the door and leave.

"No need."

Lou Youzhi said suddenly, "I know what's going on."

"Oh?"

Dou Tianyuan paused.

"It's Jiang Zhihong."

Lou Youzhi sighed.

"You mean the 50 shi of grain?"

Dou Tianyuan frowned, "I know that Jiang Zhihong used some connections to raise 50 shi of grain... But this is not unusual, is it? Besides, His Majesty already knew about it."

"It's been so long since the locust plague, but the court's disaster relief has never been launched. If nothing else happens, 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 so-called abnormality of your majesty is that Jiang Zhihong is using his own method to rescue the victims of the disaster in Yongzhou."

"My own method?"

Dou Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, then changed color suddenly: "Could it be..."

"You guessed it right, there is only one way to save the entire Yongzhou with 50 shi of grain."

Lou Youzhi nodded, and slowly spit out a few words: "Yongzhou Buwu."

Dou Tianyuan's expression turned ugly.

Based on what he knew about 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, "I can delay... for a month."

"no need."

Lou Youzhi said calmly, "One month's time can't change the ending of Yongzhou."

"Besides, you have already offended His Majesty because of Xu Chong's incident, if you do this again, you may die in imperial prison."

"Since this has happened, Jiang Zhihong's end is doomed."

"Since he must die, don't let him die with doubts, let him see all this clearly..."

By the way, let me see what attitude His Majesty will have.

Lou Youzhi added in his mind.

The two remained silent.

……

……

Yongzhou.

After three days at No.20 in Bou Vu, the team looking for food came back.

Come back fully loaded.

There are edible young leaves, bark, and roots, as well as some fish, shrimp, snakes, and birds.

The most outrageous thing is [-] shi aged corn.

There are not many things, but what they represent is the hope of living.

cheer.

Shocking cheers.

On the wall that was still intact, Jiang Zhihong rubbed his temples and sighed: "Come back so quickly, it proves that you didn't go far at all. You bought the [-] shi of corn?"

"No."

Xu Chong shrugged, "I just happened to let the team choose a direction. There happened to be a granary that had been abandoned for many years in this direction, and there happened to be such a pile of old corn in the granary."

"Oh, you are talking about the southwest direction, the granary that has been abandoned to the point of being covered by the woods, right?"

Jiang Zhihong smiled and said, "I've been there before, and there's nothing inside."

"Oh, that's really weird."

Xu Chong dealt with it casually.

"Forget it, everyone has their own circumstances, and each has their own way."

Jiang Zhihong waved his hand, "But this ten thousand shi of corn can last for a few more days."

"a few 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 a little thought and increase their confidence.

With so many people, [-] stone will be consumed in one day.

unless……

"Seventy percent of the people have opened their acupoints."

Jiang Zhihong smiled and told Xu Chong's guess.

"Seventy percent..."

Xu Chong was shocked.

The lights reflected in the eyes seemed to shine a lot in an instant.

"You may not believe it when you say it."

Jiang Zhihong continued, "The [-]% refers to all those who have already enlightened."

"Among them, there are 1000 people in the first level of enlightenment."

"The second level of enlightenment, there are more than three hundred."

"There are seven more, which are triple enlightenment!"

As he said that, Jiang Zhihong stretched out his hand, pointed at the lights and slowly passed by: "Can you imagine?"

"These are the most common folk and even craftsmen's registrations, which are the lowest existences for the whole Daqing."

"The light that they could shine in the first place can be so dazzling!"

Xu Chong listened quietly, but his mood couldn't get better at all.

The greater the potential of the people at the bottom, the more it proves the importance of knowledge barriers to the court.

At the same time, it proved more and more that Jiang Zhihong's inevitable ending.

"The only pity is that this kind of dazzling is too short-lived."

Jiang Zhihong sighed and walked towards the collapsed tower.

It's almost dawn.
