one person's life

Chapter 176 How many true heroes have there been in ancient times?Once you enter the poisonous family, your life will be short.
"It's hard to evaluate Wu Gensheng. Back then, the Japanese were not expelled. In my eyes, there were only two types of people, those who resisted Japan and those who did not resist Japan. They were neither good nor bad! That's what I thought. Yeah, I don’t have that much thought, and I hope you won’t think too much about it in the future. The Jiashen incident started out of interests and people’s selfishness, but in the end, many people couldn’t help themselves.”

The deep light in Qiu Laodao's eyes flickered and flickered with the sparks in the iron basin.

"Competition between things and people... This fight between people and people starts out for interests and never stops. We Taoists also compete, but Taoist competition is not on the same level as people. Let nature take its course. , seems to have no fight with the world, but in fact this is the biggest fight. The fight is for the world to fight with. In the future, whether you are refining Qi or working in the world, your purpose must be pure, you must be transparent, and you must hold your fate and destiny in your hands. Do things inside, and don’t be forced by external things to do this or that.”

The night was already dark and the charcoal in the brazier had burned out. Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin did not want to disturb the old man's rest anymore, so they left. Qiu Laodao left the door open for a while, allowing the charcoal ash in the air to settle, and then took a rest.

Tang Muzhi knew that Qiu Laodao was also deeply affected by the Jiashen Rebellion, but he could see the essence through the phenomenon. Desires arise from the heart, and after they brew, they are beyond his control. He does not hate those who have hurt him. to his people.

Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin stayed in Yang Lie's house for one night. Early the next morning, Tang Muzhi found a good place not far from the wooden house on Qiu Laodao: sunny, ventilated in summer, leeward in winter, with a good view, and no There were dangers such as floods, mudslides, and landslides. When the land was framed, he and Qiu Laodao asked for an ax and went into the forest to cut trees alone.

"Be careful when chopping, pick good wood to chop." Qiu Laodao pointed to the Xikang spruce in the forest behind. "This kind of wood is abundant in the mountains and the material is hard. It is suitable for building houses... Don't forget the way."

Tang Muzhi nodded, holding his pocket in one hand and carrying the ax in the other, and walked leisurely towards the lush forest. With the yin and yang in hand, cutting down a few trees was the same as cutting cucumbers, and it didn't take much effort.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Muzhilu carried about twenty sections of fir trees to the ground that had been circled before, just in time for Qiu Laodao to have breakfast.

When Qiu Laodao saw Tang Muzhi's neat skills, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"It's not as good as before -" When Ye Kexin helped set up the fire to cook porridge, Qiu Laodao took out hard steamed buns and pickled cucumbers from the underground vat and handed them to Tang Muzhi, "In our time, many people came out to enter the world at a young age, and there were bullets and bullets. , bloody storm... I have never seen any storms that have survived, and my abilities have only improved. Now it is peaceful. I think you young people are not as good as we were back then, but now that I see you, I feel that it is okay, and I am worthy of it. You are from the main sect, and the elders in the sect have taught you well."

Tang Muzhi followed his topic and asked: "Master Dao, you are well-informed. You didn't have any dealings with young people back then, right? Are you much better than you are now?"

Qiu Laodao nodded, "I have never been to the south except Sichuan in my life, but I have traveled to the entire Northeast, North China and most of the northwest. These are places with outstanding people and there is always no shortage of young heroes with strong skills. ...Now, even some major sects that have been passed down for thousands of years have disappeared. In terms of magical powers, I don’t know how much has been lost. I think you are far behind, but in a peaceful and prosperous age, this is better."

Ye Kexin cooked porridge and served it to Qiu Laodao. After eating, Tang Muzhi devoted himself to the construction of the wooden house again. Qiu Laodao watched him scrape the rafters while doing farm work in the field.

"You can keep the bark, and when the time comes, you can make fires, make medicine, and feed livestock."

Qiu Laodao would walk around the river ditch every once in a while. If a Tibetan got sick, he would rely on his experience to give injections and take medicine. He would go around like this, sometimes returning empty-handed, and sometimes bringing enthusiasm to the Tibetan people. goat's milk and specialties.

After Tang Muzhi built the wooden house, he stayed in Chuangpinggou for more than a month. Calculating the time, Xiangjiang has returned, Thailand's financial crisis has also swept into the country, and the Green Corps must have exploded.In the circle, Nandoutong, who had been watching the dog-eat-dog fight in the alien world for more than half a year, finally couldn't sit still. He released the news in advance. The Wang and Lu families cooperated with some sects in North China to take action. The assassins of Heibingtai disappeared and offered a reward. They also withdrew, and it is said that the hearts of the four families have finally settled down.

When Yang Lie came over, he also brought Tang Yu. Tang Yu's fair and tender face was a little red from the ultraviolet rays of the plateau. She had a thick towel wrapped around her head and stretched out her hand to say hello to Tang Muzhi and Ye Kexin.

"Uncle, hello -"

"Hey..." Tang Muzhi wanted to laugh a little when he saw Old Man Sun's granddaughter suffering. She was usually protected by Old Man Sun, and she didn't dare to show off her timid attitude in front of others. But now that she was away from the old gangster, she became more lively.

When Yang Lie came over this time, one was to guide Tang Muzhi in practicing Qi Du, and the other was to inform him that Yang Lie was going to attend the "celebration banquet" between the company and the Wang and Lu families in September, and would take him with him when the time comes. In the name of master and disciple, teach him to prepare early.

"In one month, we have completed all seventeen orders for the Wang family and the Lu family, so they also invited us...Tang Mian and Tang Yao almost missed it, this time it's just you and me."

Tang Muzhi understood. It seemed that Yang Lie knew some inside information about the Black Ice Platform. Otherwise, how could he have made the apprenticeship ceremony so formal more than a month ago? The outside world must have known about this matter by now.

This is obviously not in line with Yang Lie's low-key style in the past, and the so-called celebration banquet this time, no matter how old Yang Lie is, he will not come forward in person. It is presumably to let Tang Muzhi show up in front of the company and other sects Show your face.

Yang Lie walked into the simple wooden house built by Tang Muzhi and rarely said unnecessary gossip. He sneered and said: "Qiu Laodao said that I grew up being served by others. I was born in a wealthy family. The house I built is extremely difficult to see. Looking at you now, you are not as good as I was back then."

The wooden house mainly contained long-necked beakers and other glassware brought by Tang Muzhi. He showed Yang Lie the results of refining and swallowing foreign medicines in the past month, and Yang Lie frowned.

Tang Muzhi's few experience in refining medicine was taught by Tie Fangshan. After returning from studying abroad, Tie Fangshan visited several of the most high-end laboratories in the Soviet Union. He was very particular about refining foreign medicine, which was in line with the traditional methods of the Tang sect. The methods are not quite the same.This more advanced method has gradually replaced the method of refining poison inside the door in the past 30 years, but it has relatively strict environmental requirements. Tang Muzhi wasted a month to refine it. Although the progress was not small, it did not meet Yang Lie's expectations.

"The environment here is not as good as the laboratory in the school. It's a waste for you to use these objects. The humidity and temperature can't be controlled. Why don't you build a medicine pot to boil it." Yang Lie said bluntly: "But I don't expect you to be alone." It doesn’t matter if the foreign medicine is crude or not, as long as you take foreign medicine for a long time, your heart fire, lung gold and kidney water three qi will have their own severe toxicity. Don’t take any medicine at this time.”

Yang Lie asked Tang Yu and Ye Kexin to go to the other side to continue practicing the Five Treasures Body Protection Technique, and then ordered Tang Muzhi to go out, and then led him to use the Earth Mu Flow Infusion, and the released Earth Mu Qi was transported back to the meridians, and Tang Muzhi developed A thin layer of blue-purple Qi acted like a protective barrier, and the aura was greatly enhanced.

"...It seems that this has become a habit of yours." Yang Lie found a tall wooden pier to sit on, his eyes were sharp and vicious, and he immediately noticed the problem of Tang Muzhi's usual practice of qi poison.

"Tumu Liuzhu is a means to escape when the mission fails and is completely exposed to the enemy. Your yin and yang energy is too destructive and exhaustive. It is more suitable for assassination to use it restrained on weekdays, but this is the same as this method. The original intention was violated.”

Yang Lie slowly said: "The Qi of Earth and Wood will return to your body on its own after it is generated. Although it is consumed, it is not as serious as your innate superpower. This is a trick that can restore your physical strength. Don't hold it back for fear of stress. Can’t you resist the tiny bit of toxicity that your internal organs have just refined?”

Tang Muzhi stretched out his hand and rubbed it for a while. Yang Lie was right. In the past, he would only release it unreservedly in a few cases. After all, if Yin Yang Qi was not controlled well, it would kill him with one strike.

Tang Muzhi took a deep breath, and the energy of earth and wood suddenly erupted from the middle of his body like a volcanic eruption. The blue-purple energy flame almost surrounded Yang Lie who was sitting in the distance and the wooden house behind him that was spreading moisture!

After all, the wooden house was simply built by Tang Muzhi, an inexperienced person, and the structure was relatively loose. At this time, under the impact of Tang Muzhi's Qi, the beams actually creaked and shook.

"Ahem... ok."

Yang Lie straightened his messy hair and assessed the shocking energy in Tang Muzhi's body. He thought for a while and finally came up with the plan -

"Increase the dose of medicine." Yang Lie said calmly: "Even if you take two or three times the external medicine every day, with this energy of earth and wood protecting you, I don't think you will have any problems."

Tang Muzhi was a little stunned. The foreign medicines made from the venom of croton, aconite, datura flowers... and snakes, scorpions and other animals were really not for human consumption.The external medicine is refined to resemble an elixir, and you have to grasp the timing when taking it. If the hard shell on the outside melts away in the esophagus, the abdomen will inevitably suffer.

"Qi poison is a killing skill. Since ancient times, killing skills have to be practiced hard." Yang Lie said: "Not to mention the alchemy, there are never many disciples who practice ordinary poison skills and kill themselves. Your talent is extraordinary. The talent, the amount of energy is astonishing, this is the effect that ordinary people can achieve after many years of cultivating the body and life! The house utensils can be ruined, they are just foreign objects; the potential talent of the body cannot be ruined!"

With Yang Lie watching, the dosage of Tang Muzhi's medicine was greatly increased in the next few days. The three Qi of gold, fire, water, etc. also changed with the dosage of medicine and the progress of poison skills. The Qi of earth and wood was deftly made into a thin film to protect the belt. Toxic triple qi.

"This is the beginning." Yang Lie said: "Release and contract the poison energy. If you can do this freely, you can deal with the enemy. Otherwise, the effect will be too far from your innate ability, so there is no need to use it."

Tang Mu's meridians are different from ordinary people. If you practice poison kung fu step by step according to the method in the secret book of "Poison Classic", your progress will inevitably be slow. The remaining meridians are unimpeded.

"You have to practice the Vipassana method yourself after this." Yang Lie said: "Even with Zhang Wang and the others helping me handle my affairs, I can't keep an eye on you all day long. By then, I will feel that something is wrong with my body. Vipassana The meridians and five qi will know the problem, and if you treat these difficult and complicated diseases intermittently, you will be able to master it without a teacher."

Once there is something wrong with the practice of poisonous skills, it is extremely easy to cause some diseases in the body. Sometimes the immunity is reduced, and a cold can cause people pain. However, these are not problems for Tang Muzhi, as long as he puts away the poisonous attacks. As soon as he thought about it, Yin Yang Qi would come out to help him sort out these small problems on his body. Tang Muzhi sometimes thought that it would be great if Ye Kexin also had a natural guardian like Yin Yang Qi in his body, but it would not be able to completely solve her muscular and bone marrow problems. It's okay to be weak and contain it.

Ye Kexin was a little happy when she knew that Tang Muzhi would go out in September because of the Wang and Lu family's celebration banquet. One of Tang Mu asked and found out that Prince Zhong's birthday is the autumnal equinox of August 22 in the lunar calendar, which is also September 23. Calculating the time, the old man's birthday will be only a week after Tang Muzhi participates in the celebration banquet. He will definitely have time to go there by then.

"Outsiders never know Mr. Wang Zizhong's birthday. If he announced that he was celebrating his birthday that day, people coming to congratulate him would line up from Beijing to Jingu. Mr. Wang Zizhong has never had a son or a half in his life. , I took on a disciple in the past two years who is not much older than you and me. I think he is a junior who is close to me... This is a rare opportunity."

So when Yang Lie came back in September, Ye Kexin followed them down the mountain, and Xiongxing was handed over to the care of a Khampa man named Ruduoji. In the past two months, he and Tang Muzhi got to know each other in the forest of Chuangpinggou, and the two People have climbed snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 5000 meters, and have searched for raw materials for Tibetan medicine in the depths of river valleys that are also full of savage legends - Tibetan fennel, scopolamine, Tibetan codonopsis, Tibetan comfrey, jellyfish snow lotus, and Tanggute rhodiola. etc.

Ruduoji is in his 30s, and in Tang Muzhi's opinion, he is a simple and brave man, but here, in his hometown of Chuangpinggou, he cannot hold his head high. When he was young and rebellious, he abandoned his hometown and his religious name. In the year of reform and opening up, he completely learned Chinese and traveled from Sichuan to Fujian alone to develop. After 1990, he became his own boss and ran a business. When he was at his most high-spirited, he was imprisoned as an economic prisoner. After he was released, He worked hard for a few more years, and now he's back in his hometown.

"My father died last year." Ruduoji said, "I only learned the news last month. I came to the snowy mountains in my hometown to atone for my sins, because my mother was also sick and didn't want to go out to see him."
