Chapter 299 The Unlucky Prince
"Kui, Kuihuabao, treasure book?"
He was so surprised that Li Mu stuttered. When Eunuch Gao saw this, he thought Li Mu was laughing at the name of the book, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's called Marquis' joke. We don't know the book for the New Year. I know a few words. I learned it from your Majesty. To be honest, this book is really to commemorate an old friend."
"Old friend?" Li Mu stared at Eunuch Gao with curious eyes and said to himself, "Can you say that Eunuch Gao is the author of "Sunflower Book"?"
Li Mu had read many miscellaneous books and Jin Yong's novels in his previous life, so he naturally read them all. Not only have he read novels, but he has basically read all TV series. "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is one of Jin Yong's classic works, and he has read them more than once.
When setting up "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the planning team also regarded Jin Yong's martial arts novels as an important reference. They also specially studied the origin of "Sunflower Book".
Based on the Internet's research on the period when "The Book of Sunflower" was written, a relatively high viewpoint is that "The Book of Sunflower" was written in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Now it seems that this time point needs to be pushed forward.
"Uh..." Eunuch Gao didn't seem to have expected Li Mu to break the casserole and asked to the end, and he was a little embarrassed, and said, "To be honest, before we became eunuchs, we had a relationship with each other, and we were in love with each other for life. But we were helpless, we were born in troubled times and we couldn't help ourselves. I entered the palace and became a eunuch, and she married a wife and later died in war-"
Li Mu was stunned and hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry, I mentioned your sad things."
"Hi!" Eunuch Gao waved his hand and said, "This is something that happened many years ago, and I have been sad. But when I was naming, her shadow suddenly flashed through my mind and wrote it down by a mystery, making the Marquis laugh. The Marquis just took it to see it. If he could help a little, it would be useful. However, when will the Marquis finish reading it, please return it to our family. This technique is not perfect, and our family still needs to carefully craft it."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, as long as three days, and as long as five days, I will return the jade to Zhao."
"Our family can trust the Marquis." After saying that, Eunuch Gao nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Marquis will do it, our family will give you a meal for His Majesty."
"Please, Eunuch Gao."
Li Mu turned around and walked down the steps, and couldn't help but complain in his heart. His Majesty was getting more and more stingy. It was already afternoon. He knew how to eat, but he didn't know how to add a pair of chopsticks. Is the palace so poor now?
He walked to the palace gate while muttering, Dugu Jiu was sitting in the carriage and gnawing cakes. He was now smart and knew that he might not be able to eat on time when he went out with Li Mu. So he always prepared two cakes. When he didn't have time to eat, he would just put some of them.
When eating, he naturally had to take off his mask. He was afraid that his face would be seen, so he hid in the carriage.
Seeing Li Mu get into the car, Dugu Jiu handed him the remaining half of the cake. Li Mu was not polite and bit it in his mouth. He took out the "Sunflower Book" from his arms and handed it to Dugu Jiu and said, "Look at this, the internal strength created by Eunuch Gao."
Dugu Jiu took it and flipped it over. At first, there was no expression. After a while, his brows frowned and looked at Li Mu and said seriously: "Brother, that eunuch wants to harm you! You can't practice this internal skill!"
Li Mu choked the cake in, took a breath, and said, "How could Eunuch Gao harm me? What nonsense?"
Dugu Jiu said anxiously, "Brother, I am definitely not exaggerating. If you follow the methods recorded in this book, your aura will spread to the sky, and a heated air will be produced from the dantian. From the bottom to the top, it will be inconsistent. Not to mention whether you can survive this heat, even if you survive it, it will cause great damage to your body."
Li Mu frowned and said, "What can he damage?"
"This..." Dugu Jiu turned a few more pages and said confidently: "It will damage the kidney meridian, that is, my brother's..." Dugu Jiu glanced at Li Mu's crotch and said: "...it will gradually become weak, and in the end, it will not be used."
Li Mu stared at Dugu Jiu with his eyes and suddenly covered his chest. Damn, isn't I going to bend? Why is his heart always pounding when Dugu Jiu took off his mask in recent times? And what does Dugu Jiu mean? Why are you looking at my crotch? After you look at me, your face is blushing? You are so big watermelon, you!
Li Mu looked away and said, "This cannot be said that others are harming us. Don't forget that Eunuch Gao is a eunuch. The eunuch didn't have this..." Li Mu pointed to his crotch, coughed lightly, and continued, "He doesn't have this thing, so he naturally doesn't consider this thing. It's understandable. Since you said it's useless, I'll give him back in two days. I'll practice my "Taixuan Sutra"."
Dugu Jiu nodded with a red face and said, "The Taixuan Sutra is naturally good. Although Taoist practices are slower, they are good for the body."
Li Mu couldn't face Dugu Jiu's face anymore, so he reached out to pull down his mask and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and drive quickly. Let's go home and count how many leather armor I made some days ago. It's not enough, so I have to make some."
"Yeah." Dugu Jiu responded, stuffed the last bite of cake into his mouth, got out of the carriage and sat on the shaft. He threw the whip, turned his head, and walked home along Zhuque Street.
...
In the carriage, Li Mu was reading two internal skills books.
I can't read a single book, but I can see something by looking at it in comparison.
Both Cheng Yaojin and Eunuch Gao said that it is difficult to practice internal skills, and it requires talent and insight. But Cheng Yaojin couldn't tell what talent and insight are. Eunuch Gao was also a little sensible. However, Li Mu compared the settings of various novels and TV series he had read in his previous life, and compared them with these two books, and guessed it.
The so-called talent should refer to the innate conditions of a person. People have meridians, and most people have narrow meridians and impede breathing, so they will naturally slow to practice internal strength. However, some people are born with wide and thick meridians, smooth breathing, and fast to practice internal strength. This is the so-called talent.
The so-called enlightenment is inspired by Eunuch Gao’s words.
Eunuch Gao said that internal strength is the way to record the movement of breath. This sentence is understood in the mind of Li Mu, the game designer. This is like "Street Fighter", and the buttons are approximately equal to the meridian nodes.
Lower, lower left, right P is equal to the root of Ouyu. Lower, lower left, right X2 and then P is Haoyu. Lower, lower left, left K is Daidai Brugen.
The secret is here. As long as you do this, the ultimate move can be released, but due to different personal conditions, some people have broken hands. They clearly think of it, but they can't press it, so the internal skills cannot be practiced. Some people have no broken hands, but the key is broken, the nodes of the meridians are not opened, and their P key is not easy to use, or the K key is not easy to use, and it is impossible to use the ultimate move.
Simply put, internal strength is to pick people. Only when a person who practices internal strength meets the various conditions set by the person who creates internal strength can he practice this internal strength.
Just like the "Taixuan Sutra", it is Taoist internal skills, and people who need to practice have a deep study of Taoism. By the same token, "Sunflower Book" was created by Eunuch Gao. He is a eunuch, so he naturally has to "caught by himself by snaking the knife". When Eunuch Gao created this internal skills, he might not have thought so, but as long as you practice according to the breath running method he sets, you must castrate yourself, otherwise you will not be able to practice.
After understanding the twists and turns, Li Mu became a little annoyed.
He neither wants to study Taoism nor can he castrate himself. It seems that there is only one way to imitate Eunuch Gao and study internal skills that suit him. However, he has no experience in this kind of thing and has no system to rely on, so he really doesn't know whether he can do it.
But then he thought again, isn’t he as good as a eunuch? Eunuch Gao can create internal strength, so why can’t he create it?
If you really can't create it, then you won't practice it. Anyway, Dugu Jiu and Li Chongyi are by your side, one is a warrior and the other is an assassin. Do you still have to worry about your own safety?
...
Li Mu returned home and headed straight to the warehouse.
There are four warehouses in Zhulu Hou Mansion, one warehouse to load money, and the other warehouse to load the application items in the mansion, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, jerky, wine, etc. The remaining two warehouses are all filled with things made by Li Mu. For example, when he was proficient in his skills, he could not put down the various things he made in the studio, so he would ask people to move them to the warehouse.
It’s not that he is reluctant to throw it away, but that most of the things he makes for grading are parts. These parts may not be valuable, but they are likely to be needed for the drawings behind, so they are left to save time when grading behind.
The things made during the shaving [skin making] are also here.
When Li Mu was proficient, he considered that he might use it. Therefore, the leather armor he made was all set. In order to save materials, he did not make the most material-saving wrist guards.
Li Mu counted and found that there were 130 sets of primary leather suits and 218 sets of intermediate leather suits. This number made Li Mu quite shocked. When he was proficient, he never counted it. He knew that he had done a lot, but the impression in his mind was only 180 sets of sets. Unexpectedly, he actually made more than 300 sets of leather armor. No wonder those twenty cars of leather were used up.
This is fine, so don't worry about the armor of the independent group. Although the number of intermediate leather suits is less than 300, it doesn't matter. If you perform well, wear intermediate and poorly perform, wear primary. Anyway, wear it when you train. When you really go to the battlefield, Li Mu will not let them wear leather armor, at least it must be a mail, combining the flexibility of leather armor and the defense of plate armor.
But the proficiency of the forging skills is too slow, and he also has to make a slam in the iron. Li Mu is very lazy recently and has not swung a sledgehammer for almost two months.
"Forget it, I don't have to worry anyway, wait until the spring is blooming..."
Li Mu murmured and comforted himself, came out of the warehouse, hummed a little song he heard from somewhere, and walked towards the studio in a swaying manner. He bet out of the lucky bag and hadn't eaten the big watermelon, so he just took it back to the back house. After his wife came back, she cut it open and ate it.
While walking, he thought. On the way home from the palace, he felt that he had forgotten something very important. But he never remembered what it was.
"What's the matter?"
...
Wannian County Prison.
Ju Zhisheng and Usman have been squatting here for several days, and because they had a conflict with the servants when they came in, they were arrested because they were wandering around the back door of Zhuluhou’s shop. In the past few days, the two of them were often "careful" by the prison guards.
If you have something to do and you are whipped a few times, then you will be jailed and say something. What makes the two of them most unacceptable is that they have less food than other prisoners.
But if this matter takes turns, Ju Zhisheng will blame himself.
When he first came in, the jailer gave the same amount of food. But who is Ju Zhisheng? He is the prince of Gaochang. Although Gaochang is a small country and has a small population, he is very wealthy. Moreover, the merchants who come and go bring good things. Ju Zhisheng has been frugal since he was a child, and he has never eaten any good things?
He was tired of eating delicious delicacies. How could he eat the mixed bean steamed buns in the prison?
As soon as he tasted it, he blurted out: "This thing is also for people to eat?"
The jailer was also just a little bit, smiled and said, "Don't eat it, right? Then don't eat it!"
Since that meal, he has never had any share of the baked bean steamed buns.
Ju Zhisheng was hungry for a day, and the next day, he couldn't help asking the prison guard for steamed buns. After saying all the good things, his grandfather called him, and the prison guard gave him half. Usman had to give him some of his own share. Both of them were evenly enough, and they couldn't eat enough, but they couldn't starve to death.
Several times, Ju Zhisheng showed his identity to the prison guard. The prison guard just laughed and said sarcastically: "If you look like a prince, then I will be the prince!"
After saying it a few times without results, Ju Zhisheng was too lazy to say it. Later, he was so hungry that he had no energy to say it. He leaned against the wall all day long, staring at the sky as big as a palm, staring at the sky outside, watching the sunrise and setting, and he became depressed.
When will this day come to an end?
"Who can save me?" Ju Zhisheng suddenly screamed, grabbed the prison door and shouted: "I am really the Prince Gaochang. Why don't you believe me if you are a fake prince. You can let me go? Let me prove it. I have money and I'm in the inn. Can't I give it to you all? Grandpa, let me go..."
The wail echoed in the cell. When several jailers who were drinking heard this, one of them sighed helplessly: "Oh, another crazy!"
But some people were worried and said, "Brothers, I see he says this all day long. It may be true. What if it is true, what should we do?"
"Wu!" said the person who just sighed, "He is crazy, you are crazy too. If he is really the prince, someone would have come to look for him. No one has looked for him for these days, so it would definitely not be. But..." The man paused and said, "If it is true, we will be in trouble. Wait for two more days, if it is true, we can only--"
"What?"
"Kill them!"
