The Era of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 9

Of course you can't cut it, but it's worth practicing it. What if Li is a unique martial arts genius?

With the idea of ​​throwing a shot if there is no fish, Li Hao circulated his qi according to the method of condensing zhenqi in the book.

Within two weeks, he was forced to stop, looking at himself with a raised robe in embarrassment:
"Okay! It seems that I am really not a martial arts genius in this area."

The core martial arts of the book is to stimulate one's yang fire to advance one's cultivation, but excess yang fire will naturally disturb the movement of true qi.

This Li Hao is clear, but the book did make him very interested in martial arts and internal strength in this world.

Zhongnan Mountain is near Xi'an Mansion. It is estimated that there is nothing left of the Quanzhen Sect site, but the ancient tombs can still be explored.

There were still young descendants of the Ancient Tomb School at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, so the Ancient Tomb School should have existed at least until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

If you can find martial arts such as the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, you will naturally earn money, and it is not bad to have the Quanzhen and Jade Maiden's Heart Technique to guarantee your bottom line.

Just do what you say, Li Hao packed his luggage that night and dismantled all the traps carefully arranged in the small courtyard.

It's a good thing that these traps are useless, but it's a pity that Li Hao's special itching powder can't be collected after being sprinkled, which is a bit of a waste.

Early the next morning, it was slightly bright, and he carried the same package as when he came, and headed for Zhongnan Mountain.

Xi'an Mansion is not far from Zhongnan Mountain, but after walking for half a day, Li Hao has entered the Zhongnan Mountain Range.

From the village at the foot of the mountain, he bought a simple map for 40 Wen. Following the map, Li Hao found a Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain to stay.

It is said that it is a Taoist temple, but it is actually bigger than the small courtyard where Li Hao lived in the city before.

In the room in the middle of the Taoist temple, there is a portrait of the Sanqing Master and an incense burner. On one side lived a Taoist priest and his apprentice, and on the other side was reserved for people like Li Hao who entered the mountain.

In the evening, the Taoist master and apprentice drank the vegetable soup cooked by the Taoist together with Li Hao.

Li Hao asked curiously:

"Are there a lot of people entering the mountain? Why do you have to set aside a special room for people to borrow?"

The Taoist blew on the steaming vegetable soup and took a sip:
"It's a bit salty, disciple! Go get some pancakes for the guests." Then he added:
"The hunters in several villages below the mountain occasionally come back from hunting to rest with me, and some hermits on the mountain also stay here when they go down the mountain to buy groceries, grain and oil every one or two months.

Furthermore, there used to be some Huashan disciples on the mountain of the Quanzhen Sect, but they had another way out of the mountain, and it was only occasionally that they walked towards me. "

"There is an old saying: there are many hermits in Zhongnan. But why are Huashan disciples in Zhongnanshan?"

Li Hao was a little surprised, wondering if it would affect his search for the ancient tomb.

"Listen to your accent, you are not a native of Xi'an Prefecture, are you?"

"Not really."

Li Hao's accent has been carefully adjusted, but it is still different from Qin Di's accent, and there is nothing to hide.

The priest went on to say:
"No wonder! You should know that the Huashan School is the top one in the Jianghu?"

"Although I am not from Jianghu, I have heard of the name of the Huashan School."

The Taoist said again:

"The Huashan sect is so prosperous and prosperous, so there must be some income to support the disciples. Those disciples grow and collect medicines on the mountain, and by the way, they collect rent from the nearby Lantian and Zhouzhi counties."

Li Hao didn't understand again:

"Growing medicine is a common thing, but collecting rent? What rent?"

"Hey hey!" The Taoist just smiled for a long time before saying:

"Nearly half of the fields in Lantian and Zhouzhi Counties are owned by Huashan, and the other fields in these two counties that are not owned by Huashan are rushing to pay [-]% of the rent to Huashan!

Just like this, how many servants in the 37 counties of the six prefectures in Xi'an Prefecture want to pay it back but can't pay it back! "

Seeing that Li Hao was still a little puzzled, the Taoist priest said:

"My lord, do you know how much an ordinary county tycoon would have to spend to rent out a piece of land?

5% of the money is a living Bodhisattva, and [-]% or even [-]% of the lot!

I have to pay all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and corvees by myself. The normal years are good, but when there is a drought or flood, I have to sell my sons and daughters to eat bark.

The Huashan faction only charges [-]% of the rent. If a child is selected to join the sect, the five-year rent will be waived immediately.In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can also pay less rent as appropriate, and you don't have to make up for it later.

If there are worms and wolves, Huashan disciples will naturally get rid of them; when encountering corrupt officials, unjust, false and wrong cases, Huashan disciples will act chivalrously.

You said such a landlord, who else is there in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region?

Court?What is the use of the imperial court besides being able to come up with various reasons to increase taxes?

The first thing the magistrate of Xi'an government does when he takes office is to go to Huayin to pay homage to Huashan. Huashan doesn't talk, and he can't even pay his taxes! "

Li Hao understood:
This is a worse world. In comparison, the Huashan Party's exploitation of ordinary people is not so strict, so that they can at least barely make ends meet, and they are praised by the people.

What a fucking world.

The Taoist priest is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so Li Hao chatted with him until midnight.

Lying in the narrow hut, Li Hao stared at the hole in the roof without any sleepiness.Everything the Taoist said today made most of his excitement about arriving in another world and his good impression of the martial arts world go away.

It is now the 28th year of Jiajing. Originally, the feudal dynasty, which has already passed half its life, is still in a state of ups and downs, but at least it still maintains a bright and beautiful surface, and it still has a lifespan of nearly a hundred years.

But in this timeline, in this timeline where there are martial arts and was changed by Daobiao a hundred years ago, the feudal dynasty is more seriously ill.

The reason is due to the improvement of personal force value.

In an era when there were no congenital extinctions, it was difficult for the Acquired Peak to affect the current situation with personal force. Sixty or seventy armored soldiers with bows and crossbows were enough to encircle and kill.

Even if it is like Shaolin, the master of martial arts, with many masters and thousands of disciples, three thousand elites are enough to destroy the temple.

After all, warriors are good at fighting alone but not in an army formation. The more people there are, the more chaotic they are, and the less room to play.

Therefore, the influence of the rivers and lakes on the entire dynasty is very limited, and it is difficult to determine the direction of history.

However, the huge changes brought about by the Sunflower Treasure have caused the emergence of innate masters in batches, and this is a completely bad thing!
Innate masters can already use the aura of heaven and earth initially, and there is a qualitative gap with the acquired peak in all aspects.

The specific performance is that the innate realm is no longer afraid of the siege of ordinary people. As long as there are no masters of the same level to restrain them, and they are not besieged in narrow places, it is difficult for thousands of troops to spare their lives.

Moreover, warriors of the sunflower system have a distinctive feature of 'fastness', which makes the innate difficulty of besieging even more difficult.

With a sharp knife in his hand, he wanted to kill himself.

There is a saying that 'the truth is only in the caliber'. Obviously, the innates lost the caliber of their bodies, but gained a huge threat of force.

I can kill your prefect, county magistrate, or even the emperor's relatives, but you can't do anything about me!
Then I'm still afraid of your power?I have more 'fist' than you, and fist is power!

How could the powerful royal relatives, landlords and officials be willing to part with it?

They will not even allow the people around them to cut them, because once the people around them have the power to crush them at any time, how can they guarantee their loyalty?

The human heart is always unpredictable.

Therefore, from the later period of Yongle to the present, the deterrent power of the imperial court has been eroded step by step by the martial arts faction represented by Shaolin Wudang Huashan Sun and Moon.

The interests and rights that originally belonged to the bureaucrats and landlords were continuously seized by various factions, and the national power of Ming Dynasty naturally declined even more.

The major factions have become the toubob kings who essentially enshrined the Tuliehou.

Li Hao turned over and slowly fell asleep. The last thing he thought before losing consciousness was:

'I think Daming is going to end!

That is, the old wine seller, the waiter in the shop, the Taoist priest, and countless ordinary people are pitiful. '
