Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Zhenghe Year 3, mid-March.

The border between Wei and Baiyue, Qiushan Pass.

In the morning, Chen Mo and his party hurried to the gate of Qiushan Pass. Baiyue officers and soldiers stood at the gate with blades in their hands, checking the identity of people entering and leaving.

Baiyue, a small country on the border of Zhongzhou, was weak and honest. At the end of the Song Dynasty, when the country was in chaos, Baiyue did not send troops to invade the Song Dynasty.

When Chen Mo inherited the Song Dynasty and established Wei, Baiyue sent envoys to Tianchuan and submitted a letter to the court.

The letter said that first of all, the Baiyue Princess congratulated Chen Mo, recognized him as the master of the new dynasty, and hoped to continue to maintain friendly relations with the Song Dynasty.

There was no reason for Wei to refuse this.

Chen Mo also loved peace. If others did not offend me, I would not offend others.

Before coming to Baiyue this time, Chen Mo also sent envoys to Baiyue to greet them.

Therefore, when Chen Xiu took out the pass, the Baiyue officers and soldiers who had received the order from the top only asked Chen Mo and his men to take off their armor, and Baiyue would keep it for safekeeping, and when Chen Mo returned, it would be returned intact.

Chen Mo also understood and ordered his subordinates to cooperate.

After entering the Prison Mountain Pass, you will reach the territory of Baiyue.

Baiyue has many mountains, and these mountains are not ordinary small mountains. There are countless large and small mountain strongholds hidden among the mountains. These mountain strongholds of Baiyue are similar to the villages in the territory of Wei.

Baiyue's "infrastructure" is very poor. There is only one official road from the Prison Mountain Pass to the capital of Baiyue. The rest of the roads are either small roads or mountain roads, and there is no maintenance, and the roads are bumpy.

The guards are transporting a large number of betrothal gifts, which is difficult to walk.

Not only that, there were poisonous insects and tigers everywhere in the mountains and fields. They stopped and started along the way. It took five days to walk a hundred miles.

"Erlang, there are more mountains in Baiyue than in Yuzhou."

Han Anniang rode on a horse and came to an open area. She looked at the endless mountains in the distance and sighed.

The road to the Poison King Valley was not passable by carriages. They had abandoned the carriages long ago and chose to ride horses or walk.

Han Anniang could not ride a horse, so Chen Mo rode with her, hugged her from behind, and smiled: "Yes, most of them are primitive forests with few human traces, and the plants are rich in spiritual energy."

Almost every tree here is as thick as a bucket and as tall as ten feet. The treetops cover the sky and block the sun. Basically, they have not been mined.

"There are few people in Baiyue, and most of them gather in the form of mountain strongholds. There are few cities built with stones and yellow mud like your Wei. There are many poisonous insects, tigers and leopards in the forest. Almost no people will go deep into these mountains and forests. They collect firewood around the mountain strongholds and will not go far." Nalan Yiren chuckled.

"Baiyue has a gold mountain but does not know it. If these trees are transported to my Wei, how much money will they sell for? Moreover, such thick trees are good materials for warships." Chen Xiu's eyes lit up when he saw these big trees.

He even saw the golden nanmu that required several adults to hug together.

If it was taken to Wei, just this one would sell for tens of thousands of taels.

"Master Chen, even if the trees on this road of Baiyue are cut down, it is difficult to transport them to my Wei. Even carriages and horses are difficult to pass." Sun Meng said.

"That's true." Chen Xiu looked at the towering trees and sighed.

Generally, trees like this have to be transported by boat, but Baiyue has no canals at all.

"This place is a holy place for martial artists who cultivate Xiaoqing spiritual energy and plant spiritual energy." Chen Mo said.

"That's right. Any mountain here has plant spiritual energy that is thousands of years old." When she arrived at her home, Nalan Yiren talked a lot and said, "Don't think that there are fewer people in Baiyue than in your Wei Dynasty, but we all practice martial arts, and the number of martial artists is more than that of your Song Dynasty."

Before Chen Mo, the cultivation method was not passed down to civilians.

For example, the blood nourishing technique that Chen Mo practiced before was obtained after Chen Da Canjun was promoted to centurion for meritorious service. It was difficult for civilians to get access to it.

But in Baiyue, the Baiyue court passed it down for free, and everyone could practice it.

Although it was only the lowest level of the method, it also gave the people the opportunity to practice.

Even after Chen Mo succeeded to the throne, the method was only spread in the army, allowing the entire army to practice for free.

"Master Chen, please remember this and implement it when we return." Chen Mo said to Chen Xiu.

"This" Chen Xiu hesitated.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, no need to be hesitant." Chen Mo said.

Chen Xiu spoke in front of Chen Mo.

The reason why the Wei Dynasty has not yet been implemented by the whole people is mainly because the Wei Dynasty has a large population. The court feels that if the whole people are allowed to practice, it will not be conducive to stability.

As the saying goes, with sharp weapons in hand, the killing will arise.

Think about it, if the group of rebellious Tianshi thieves in the late Song Dynasty were all practitioners, they would have overthrown the Song Dynasty regime long ago.

"In addition, even if the whole people are implemented, the people have no conditions to practice. The lower-grade warriors practice blood and qi. If they want to have enough blood and qi, they have to eat meat. Forgive me for being frank. Now the world is stable, but there are still many people who can't eat enough, let alone practice. In addition, if you want to practice the skills, you have to be literate, and reading and literacy cost money." Chen Xiu said.

"I know what you mean, but we have to do things step by step. You can't become fat in one bite. As for reading and literacy, I promoted county schools before I ascended the throne. Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I have implemented new policies. All prefectures and counties have begun to establish county schools one by one. I don't ask every citizen to be well-educated, but it is still okay for them to recognize and understand some words in the exercises.

As for those who can't afford to eat meat, let's promote the practice first. Later, when Wei's national power increases and people's lives improve, they will naturally start practicing. "

Chen Mo didn't want them to immediately become warriors as soon as the technique was implemented.

You have to take your time, it's a long process.

As for what Chen Xiu said about threatening rule.

Chen Mo is not afraid, he only delegates low-level skills.

What's more, he doesn't expect his dynasty to last for generations.

Each generation has its own thing to do.

He can guarantee that he will not harm the people.

But he guarantees that his descendants will all be wise and benevolent kings, and they will not be foolish kings?

it's out of the question.

Chen Xiu understood what Chen Mo meant, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is very kind."

Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at Nalan Yiren: "Yiren, how long until we arrive?"

"Soon."

After leaving the forest, Nalanyi pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "Have you seen the highest mountain? After climbing over that mountain, you will reach the Poison King Valley. I have asked the Venom-Eating Bee to go back." The news has been reported. After the elders receive the letter, they will send someone out to greet us. "

Two days later.

Chen Mo and his party were walking on the mountain road, holding their horses. At this time, they were walking on a path halfway up the mountain. Next to them was a cliff. The cliff was shrouded in fog and they couldn't see the bottom. But everyone knew that if they fell, they would die. Severely injured and paralyzed, they walked one by one on the side of the mountain, not daring to ride horses.

Not only people are afraid, horses are also afraid.

If it weren't for the Naranyi people's ability to train animals, these horses would have stopped at the intersection of this road, even if they were pulled hard.

"Everyone hold hands and be careful not to fall." Sun Meng continued.

"Originally, I wanted to enter the Poison King Valley, but the only way was the lower road. However, the lower road has raised many poisonous insects in our valley, and it is now in the mating period. It is the time to get violent. Not only you, but also the poisonous insects in our valley. Anyone who passes by this road will be bitten by them. For this reason, the ancestors in the valley spent more than ten years building the road we are walking on now." After hearing Chen Mo's words, he turned around and said.

There is something Nalanyi didn't say.

That is to say, there are too many ordinary people among Chen Mo and his party, and the Nalanyi people have to take care of them. If they didn't use Qing Gong, they would have arrived long ago.

"An Niang, are you tired?"

This mountain road is winding and winding. If the route is spread out, it will probably be ten or twenty miles. Han Anniang has not done hard work for many years and is pampered. If she walks to the end, she will probably get blisters on her feet.

"I'm not tired." Han Aniang held Chen Mo's hand tightly. There was a cliff next to her, and she was also afraid.

"We still have to walk for a while, so I'll carry you."

"No, no need."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

Han Aniang didn't want to cause trouble to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo had already squatted down in front of her, not giving her a chance to refuse.

She could only lie on Chen Mo's back with a blushing face. When she felt her buttocks being lifted up, she looked back shyly, for fear of others saying.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to adapt. She spread her legs, sandwiched Chen Mo's waist, and let him hug her legs.

Chen Mo walked steadily and lay on his back. Han Aniang was not afraid of the cliff next to her at all. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Not long after, there was movement from the front.

It was the people from Duwanggu who came out to greet Chen Mo and the others.

There were five people in total, two old men and three middle-aged people.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, Uncle Mo, Uncle Mu, and Uncle Yang." Nalanyi greeted with a smile and said, "Why are you the ones who came out to pick us up?"

"This is the first time that my uncle comes to visit us. Of course we have to come in person and we must not lose our etiquette." said the second elder in purple robes.

"We should have been here long ago. The great elder ordered us to put away the poisonous insects in the valley first so as not to disturb the guests, so we wasted some time." The third elder in black robe glanced at Chen behind him. Mo smiled and said: "Yiren, is this my uncle?"

Nalan Yiren's face turned red, he did not deny it, and nodded gently.

Seeing this, the five of them all looked at Chen Mo. Their eyes were all the same as looking at a son-in-law. They looked up and down and were very satisfied.

"Yiren, don't introduce me to me."

Chen Mo put down Nalan Yiren and stepped forward.

Nalan Yi's face turned even redder. Her skin color was already white, so this red color was particularly conspicuous.

At this moment, like a shy little girl, she introduced in a low voice: "This is Mr. Qin, the second elder in the valley, this is Mr. Liu, the third elder in the valley, this is..."

It was also the first time for the two elders and five others to see Nalanyi like this, and they couldn't help laughing.

After Nalan Yiren finished the introduction, the five people solemnly saluted Chen Mo: "The common people have met your Majesty."

When I was talking to Nalanyi just now, I called him uncle, but now I'm greeting him face to face, so I can't lose etiquette.

"You guys are so polite. You are all Yiren's elders. How can you salute a junior like me? Just call me Xiao Mo." Chen Mo said.

"How did this happen?"

"No, no."

"Yiren has told us that you are the monarch of the Wei Dynasty, and you must not lose your etiquette."

The second elder and five others shook their heads, but they were increasingly satisfied with Chen Mo. What they did was their business, at least Chen Mo didn't put on airs in front of them.

"By the way, where is the Great Elder? We haven't seen each other for more than two years since we parted in Yelang last time." Chen Mo said with a smile.

But as soon as he finished speaking.

None of the five Second Elders responded immediately.

Nalan Yiren found something wrong, her face changed, and she said anxiously: "Second Elder, what happened to the Great Elder?"

Seeing Nalan Yiren's anxious eyes, the Second Elder and the Third Elder looked at each other, then the Second Elder sighed and said: "Originally, the Great Elder asked us to keep it a secret from you, but I know that when you meet him, you will be able to see it yourself.

The Great Elder, I'm afraid he won't have much time left."

"What?!"

Nalan Yiren's delicate body trembled violently, and then her body trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "How could this be? He was fine before I left."

"In fact, before you left, Yiren, the Great Elder's body was already failing. He was holding on and took the rejuvenation pill just to make you think he was fine, but in fact, when he forcibly raised his poison skills to the eighth level, his body was already irreversible." The Second Elder said.

Nalan Yiren's body trembled even more, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why? Why tell me now?"

"It was the Great Elder who told us not to tell you, saying that you finally had your own life, and you should continue to move forward. If you had told you at that time, you would never leave." The Third Elder said.

"I don't want my own life, I want him to be fine." Nalan Yiren cried, crying hard.

The Second Elder was also very distressed when he saw her. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't hide it this time, he wouldn't want to say it.

He sighed and said: "Yiren, I'll tell you the truth. At that time, the Great Elder's condition was incurable. Even if you stayed, it would be useless. The reason why he did this was that he wanted to see you get married before he left the world, and it would be best if he could hold your child, so that he could have an explanation when he went down to see the old valley master."

"Yiren, even if you don't come back by yourself this time, we will send a message to ask you to come back in a month or two." The Third Elder said.

Nalan Yiren was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. She squatted down slowly with shaking body.

Chen Mo said nothing. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen before they even reached the Poison King Valley.

Chen Mo helped Nalan Yiren up.

Han Anniang handed her a handkerchief.

The second elder comforted her: "Yiren, don't be sad. The first elder is very happy to know that you are back and still getting married. If he sees you like this later, he will be sad.

Let him live happily in the last days of his life."
