Merchant ships went out to sea overnight, along the coastline, heading north.

The days at sea were quite boring. During this period, Ning Jiang kept using a knife and Xiao Yaer, as well as his sister and lover who would sometimes sneak into his room to do experiments to practice his acupuncture techniques.

Of course, in the eyes of Guan Yezhou and the Yuxiang Gang members, he, the "little white Taoist", has nothing to do with the "Huanjiang Shuangjiao", and he has never even looked at him several times. After Huanjiang Shuangjiao boarded the boat, he basically hid in their houses and did not come out.

Under Ning Jiang's training, Xiaodao's transformation technique has become much more proficient. Although he still cannot make the cat's ear and tail disappear when he becomes a human, he sometimes transforms himself into something that can look almost as big as Sister Xiao Meng. Putting aside the cat's ear, the two of them stand together, and they are simply twins.

At this time, Ning Jiang would sigh, this is really a godsend.

Walking on the sea is actually not an easy task. The hull must withstand big winds and waves, and the steer must be familiar with the reefs everywhere.

However, the boats from the Yuxiang Gang are actually just along the coastline and heading north according to the long-drawn chart. They all walk near the sea, so the risks are much smaller.

In this way, they finally entered the Huanghe River from the mouth of the Huanghe River.

On that day, the merchant ship stopped. Ning Jiang was lying on the bed, playing with a knife, and a knock on the door came from outside: "Master, you are here."

Ning Jiang cleaned up, of course, there were not many things to be packed. A medicine box that was not heavy was carried by Xiao Ya'er, and Xiao Dao took a small flag with the eight big words "The wonderful hand is rejuvenated, and the magic needle saves the world".

After leaving the room and coming to the deck, it was just dawn and the boat was docked at a dock in Luzhou on the north bank of Huanghe River. The "Hunjiang Shuangjiao" also wore veils and got off the boat.

Before leaving, Ning Jiang kept smiling and thanking Guan Yezhou. Basically, Ning Jiang would never see them again after these people returned to Jiangnan.

If it weren't for borrowing their boat to come here, the Yuxiang Gang would have been taken over long ago.

After getting off the boat, he met Jianli and Xiaomeng with Xiao Dao and Xiao Yaer. He said, "Next, be careful. There should be no branch of our Tiandihui in the area of ​​Luzhou, and the stronghold of Momen. Unfortunately, I don't know where it is. The contact information left by Princess Shan is in Huozhou, which is a bit far away from here."

Chun Jianli smiled and said, "Don't worry, with the ability of both of us, who are you afraid of now?"

Ning Jiang sighed: "There is heaven beyond the sky, there are people beyond the people. I don't know many masters in the world, and there are quite a few barbarians, which are not easy to mess with. In short, along the way, you can walk more and see less trouble."

Chun Jianli said: "You are. Along the way, don't rely on your own to practice acupuncture for a few days, and then he will be cured everywhere."

What does it mean to kill people? How can I kill people? Is my medical skills very good?

Ning Xiaomeng said: "Brother, you should be careful, be low-key, don't be so arrogant, you need to know that there is heaven beyond heaven and there are people outside..."

Hey, when did I become arrogant? Where did I become arrogant? I have always been very low-key, okay? And wasn’t this what I just said to you?

Ning Jiang was speechless when he was about to be taught a lesson by his sister. He said, "Okay, then let's swear by high-fives. This time, everyone is more low-key."

The two girls said in unison: "Okay, swear by high-fives!"

Ning Jiang raised his palms, Jian Li and Xiao Meng each raised one hand, and with a "bang", it sounded at the same time.

Then, they separated. Ning Jiang continued to dress up as a young Taoist, taking Xiao Yaer and Xiao Dao two "little Taoist boys". Jian Li and Xiao Meng also followed Huozhou...

***

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times! The furnace in troubled times is like boiling water, and everyone is put inside to steam and cook.

To the north of the Huanghe River, everyone was destroyed by war, among which the two states were the most important. When the barbarian army first came out of the Helan Mountain and Xia gap, these two states were the key points for the decisive battle between the Chinese side and the barbarian army. Later, the Chinese side collapsed, and bandits and soldiers were everywhere.

Even when Ningjiang was prime minister, the two states were abandoned throughout the strategy. They originally planned to place all their troops in the upper reaches of the Huanghe River and set up many checkpoints to delay the barbarian army's pace of entering the Central Plains until they dragged the barbarian army through the entire winter.

As a result, after Song Gan ascended the throne, the troops were forcibly advanced, which eventually caused the dispersion of the troops. The entire record completely collapsed. The north of Huanghe River still failed to defend it. Instead, it caused Li Hu and Meng Yu's troops to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the capital was lost. The emperor Song Gan and all the civil and military officials of the court were arrested.

After the continuous baptism of the military front, there were wastelands everywhere along the way, which could be described as miserable by the people. The refugees were driven back and forth, and the uncontrolled riots after the collapse were far more cruel than the bandits. In addition, a large number of barbarians migrated from Yinchuan and plundered the Chinese people as slaves and maids.

During this period, many people who resisted the rule of the barbarians were either brave. However, with the complete loss of the Central Plains, the new emperor established the new dynasty in Jiangnan. Most of these rebels were in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness, or were wiped out by the barbarians, struggling to support them. Some Mo people ran back and forth, trying to establish a connection between various rebels, while promoting New Mo's studies, while establishing a united front for cooperation with each other.

However, the barbarian army is too strong. In addition, many of them would rather surrender to the barbarian army and bully the lowly Chinese people with the barbarian army than support the Xinmo Sect. Under the encirclement of all parties, the Xinmo Sect could only go from open to dark, and was in a difficult situation.

In these days in Luzhou today, Ningjiang treated patients as a "Little White Taoist" and had a wonderful effect on rejuvenating the youth.

On this day, even Qin Xiaoyaer couldn't help asking: "Master, your acupuncture is really so powerful?"

Ning Jiang said: "Nonsense, how are you, my master? I know that after picking up acupuncture for a day or two, I will use it."

Qin Xiaoyaer said: "Then why do you have to practice with us on the way from Jiangnan to here?"

Ning Jiang said: "Isn't that because you asked you to put on various positions and put them in half and put them there and let me poke them with a needle. I'm idle anyway."

Then Xiao Ya was speechless.

At this time, there was a desolate scene everywhere, and even the grassroots in the surrounding villages were dug out by refugees who fled. In a county where they passed, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, with some miserable people scattered in the corners, and more of them had left with the beggars. There were rumors that on the bank of the Huang River, barbarians were massacring the refugees who joined the beggars on a large scale. Although they didn't know what the truth was, they probably wouldn't be too far away.

When I arrived at the city gate, I was about to leave the city. "Master, please stay!" A crisp woman's voice rang behind them.

Ning Jiang looked back and saw a woman and three men, four young men and women riding horses. The four of them rode horses and swords. Their clothes were not gorgeous, and they were mostly armed with arrow sleeves, and they were obviously from martial arts.

The woman in the lead strangled the horse in front of him, probably because she saw that he was too young and didn't know if he was the person he was looking for, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that a Taoist priest who is skilled in medicine has passed by recently. Is it my brother's platform?"

Ning Jiang smiled and said, "I am indeed a little familiar with medical skills. As for whether I am the 'Tao Master who is proficient in medical skills' you are looking for, I am not easy to say. The world is great, and I am not the only one who is Taoist."

A person next to him said, "Sister Zhen, this person is so young and so many famous doctors are helpless. What's the use of finding him?"

The young woman whispered: "You can't just leave Xiaojiu's life alone?" Jumped off the horse: "What do you call the Taoist priest?"

Ning Jiang put the whisk on his arm: "Xiaobai!"

The young woman was a little confused: "Xiaobai?"

Ning Jiang said: "The Taoist Sutra says: Dabai is like humiliation! What is Dabai? Those who study the mysteries of heaven and earth and are proficient in the essence of all things! The more they understand the secrets of heaven and earth, the more they know their own insignificance in the vast world. This is the so-called "Dabai is like humiliation". I dare not regard myself as Dabai, so I have to be a "Xiaobai". "

The young woman thought to herself: "This person is a bit famous!"

So he said, "I am the daughter of Master Fengfeng of Qili, named Zhao and Tingzhen. My father has two sworn brothers. Recently, my second uncle's only son was killed by a demon. I don't know if it was poisoned or internal injuries. No matter how he is treated, it cannot be cured. The Taoist priest may go and have a look? If it can be cured, there will be a lot of money to repay."

Ning Jiang said: "Where is Qilifeng?"

Zhao Tingzhen said: "It's six or seven miles away from the north."

Ning Jiang waved his whisk again: "Since that's the case, I'll go and have a look."

At that moment, Zhao Tingzhen asked one of them to give up a horse and asked the Xiaobai Taoist to get on the horse. As for the two little Taoist boys Xiaobai Taoist said to have, she took one with her horse and the other sat behind Xiaobai Taoist. The person who asked the horse to ride with another companion.

Before this, Ningjiang had also explored various forces in the Luzhou area along the way, and knew that Qili Feng was one of the local forces in this area. The Feng leader Zhao Guipan was originally a quasi-grand master. After the appearance of the Nine Yin True Sutra and the prosperity of the mysterious energy, he entered the master level. His two sworn brothers, one called Cao Ziteng and the other called Ying Quankun.

These three people had a life-long friendship. After the court began to implement the Baojia Law, Zhao Guipan relied on his own reputation and connections to become the local gubernator and formed a militia. After Luzhou fell into the hands of the barbarians, Zhao Guipan knew that he could not resist the barbarian army's front and was forced to rely on him.

The existence of the Baojia method has led to the civilians who were originally a scattered sand to a certain extent, forming complex and organized local forces. Some of these local forces surrendered to the barbarian army, but their own territory is still there, and some continue to rise up and resist. Although they were killed countless times, they are still unable to kill. In addition, the prosperity of the mysterious energy and the emergence of the Nine Yin Scriptures have made the masters of the master appear like mushrooms after a rain.

This also makes the barbarian army strong, but if there are masters in charge of the group training like Qilifeng, they can only win over if they can. If they cannot win over, they can be wiped out as much as possible. However, for the sake of self-protection, many local forces like Qilifeng can only surrender to the barbarian Hu, bow down, and try not to offend them as much as possible, so as not to end up ruining their families or even destroying their clans.

Because I had a general understanding of Qilifeng's situation, Ning Jiang did not think that deeper information could be found from these people. Ning Jiang did not take this opportunity to find out the news. He just talked about the customs and customs of the state.

Zhao Tingzhen asked, "Earing the accent, the Taoist priest does not look like a northerner. I don't know which Taoist temple he was from, but he learned the martial arts of that sect."

Ning Jiang smiled and said, "I am from Jiangnan. I am just a Taoist priest from Youfang who is home to all over the world and has never practiced martial arts."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Tingzhen and others were all stunned.

This is not uncommon for the Taoist priests who are all over the world. Just like the one with a sword on their body may not be a swordsman, it may be just an ornament. Those who wear blue shirts may not be scholars, or they may just pretend to be knowledgeable. Similarly, they are not holding whisks and wearing Taoist robes must be real Taoist priests, including doctors with Taoist priests, liars who cheat, even disciples of the Mo family who are famous for their true priests, or unique Confucians.

But no matter what, in such a chaotic world, if you don’t know martial arts, you dare to travel around the world with two girls. It’s fine if you are in a peaceful and prosperous era. In this world, it’s like looking for death.

Especially the two girls he brought, one looked only eleven or twelve years old, petite and delicate, while the other was even younger. He was about ten years old, but he was born with a beautiful beauty. He could be taken by some inferior sect or thieves at any time, and he would be robbed directly, sold to a brothel, or other more terrible endings.

He obviously knows martial arts, but he dares to take two such girls to wander around in this situation?

In fact, when the little white Taoist was on the horse just now, Zhao Tingzhen was a little doubtful whether he could not know martial arts at all. Now that he personally admitted it, Zhao Tingzhen couldn't help but say: "The Taoist priest is really brave. In such a chaotic world, the Taoist priest is not afraid of meeting evil people?"

Ning Jiang smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although I can't be a martial arts master, I will act like an unpredictable and profound person when I meet a bad person. If others don't know that I can't be a martial arts master, I often dare not take action. Besides, although I am a Taoist priest, I am a doctor. Nowadays, people who practice medicine are very popular no matter where they go."

Zhao Tingzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "What the Taoist priest said makes sense."

In this way, they talked all the way and finally arrived at Qilifeng.
Chapter completed!
