Zhou Xing glared at Gao Xiang and said to smooth things over: "But I don't know how much inheritance there is from the ancient Shu country. What Brother Jian cultivates is passed down from the ancient Shu country?"
"Your Majesty is too polite." Jian Lan dared not say, "You are a noble Marquis, and I, Jian Lan, cannot bear to be called you. As for the inheritance of the ancient Shu country, I don't know much about it. I practice
It’s a secret that has been passed down from the family.”
"Lao Jian's magic technique focuses on a pair of arms." Ruban added, "I dare not say that it is extremely powerful, but he always has the strength of seven or eight hundred kilograms. His usual weapon is a cooked stick.
The long iron stick weighs more than 160 kilograms, and he is a famous brave general in our Jianwei County."
When Ruban said this, he was very proud. The other party was the famous murderer of the national traitor Shen Xiu, and he came from Shangluo, the center of the country. Although Yizhou is remote, in their hearts they believe that Yizhou locals
The talent is definitely not inferior to that of other states in the Jin Dynasty. Even after Jian Shuo said these words in Ruban, although he kept saying modestly, he could not help but show a look of contentment on his face.
Zhou Xing was moved when he heard what Ru Ban said. As mentioned before, he was originally born in Yizhou in that world, and the sect he joined was the Shushan Sect, which is known as one of the nine major sects in the world. Shushan Sect's Body Refining
There are many techniques, but the most profound one is the "Hercules Ape Technique" which is said to be passed down from the ancient thrips. This "Hercules Ape Technique" is also considered one of the top body-training techniques in that online game.
, Zhou Xing, as a god-level player, was naturally very familiar with this.
"Could it be that the legendary ancient Shu country was a country established by the descendants of the Shushan Sect?" Zhou Xing thought doubtfully. There were no countries in that game, only large and small sects.
Zhou Xing was willing to test, so he said: "I once read an ancient book, which said that there was some magic ape method in the ancient Shu Kingdom. I wonder if you two can understand it."
When he said this, he paid special attention to the expressions of the two men. Ruban's face did not change at all, but Jian Lan's expression changed slightly.
"The Divine Ape Technique?" Ruban burst out laughing when he heard this, "I don't know what kind of technique Lao Jian practices, but I have seen his movements during practice, and they look very much like an ape."
When Zhou Xing heard what Ru Ban said, he was even more surprised. Could it be that this world really has the same background as the online game in the world he came from?
So what projects are those scientists working on?
How did you discover this world?
How to send yourself here?
What is the relationship between the two worlds?
With these questions, Zhou Xing tried again: "I read in the book that there were seventy-two postures of the divine ape in the ancient Shu country. If you practice it to the deepest level, you can not only pull off the stone, fly over the eaves, and walk on the wall, but also your body shape can be enlarged."
The smaller it is, the more mysterious it is and its power is astonishing."
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Jian Lan's expression finally changed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Is there really the Seventy-two Styles of the Divine Ape?"
Looking at his expression, Zhou Xing was sure that what his family must be practicing is a certain branch of the seventy-two body-refining techniques of the Divine Ape. Thinking like this, he pretended to be confused and wondered: "Could it be that the old man
Jian, are you practicing the legendary seventy-two postures of the divine ape?"
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Jian Lan's charcoal-black face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he said with insufficient confidence: "There are only seven, no, only thirteen styles handed down from my family." His family originally handed down only seven styles.
There are only three complete formulas, and there are four that were originally incomplete. After the efforts of the Jian family monks of all generations, they were finally completed by a great genius in the pre-Shang Dynasty. Although it cannot be said to be perfect or comparable to
Those three techniques are quite powerful after being practiced. All these are the secrets of their Jian family and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. He does not want to reduce his prestige in front of others, so he exaggerates and says that there are thirteen
Since he was a child, he has heard from the elders in his family that this method comes from the lineage of the kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Their Jian family were originally the bodyguards around the kings, so they were able to learn the twenty-one moves of the divine ape.
.When the Qin Dynasty invaded the Shu Kingdom, the ancestor of the Jian family died in battle with the ancient Shu king. The descendants of the Jian family failed to learn the complete twenty-one movements, and only the complete three movements were left.
and incomplete four forms.
But he suddenly became excited again and looked at Zhou Xing eagerly, "Could it be that the Lord knows about the 'Seventy-two Styles of the Divine Ape'?"
Under everyone's expectant gazes, Zhou Xing smiled slightly: "I really know a thing or two about this."
Flooded water is also called Tongtian River. According to Ruban, this flooded water comes from the endless and towering snow-capped mountains in the far west of Shu. Its source is unknown. In Bodao,
It merged with the Minjiang River that passed through the Chenyao Plain, and the water suddenly became more powerful, so the world called it a big river.
There is a big river in the north and a big river in the south.
Bodao County is where the three rivers converge, located on the south bank of the river. Further south, the terrain rises suddenly, with mountains stretching to unknown places. It can be said that Bodao City is the most beautiful place in the Chenyao Plain.
An important junction in the south. After passing Bodao, you enter Zhuti County in the Nanzhong region, which is no longer the traditional Shu region.
Gao Lin and Gao Xiang were still children. Seeing such a vast river for the first time, they couldn't help but cheer for joy. It had been more than two months since their parents died. Zhou Xing and Wang Tianyun had taken good care of them and this journey.
, allowing them to temporarily forget the sadness of losing their parents. This made Zhou Xing and Wang Tianyun feel a lot more relaxed.
Compared with the river to the north of Shangluo, the water of this river is vaster and more turbulent. Here in Bodao, the widest part of the river is hundreds of feet high. The rapid river water stirs up countless water vapor, covering the water surface in white, and the scene is very dramatic.
Spectacular.
No monk can fly across this vast river, not even Zhou Xing, not even in the online games of that world. The only way to cross this river is by boat. This river is too vast, and no skilled craftsman can build such a river.
long bridge.
Zhou Xing and others are now crossing the river on a large ship more than ten feet long.
"Do you know where this river flows?" Zhou Xing actually knew the basin of this river best. He just wanted to see if Ru Ban was really that knowledgeable.
When Zhou Xing asked, Ruban raised his eyebrows slightly, and said loudly and brightly: "From Bodao, take a boat along the river, pass through Jiangyang Bajun, pass Badong, and then enter Jingzhou. When Shang Zhao led his army to conquer Wu,
The naval army followed this path. Unfortunately, just after leaving Yidu in the mountains of Yizhou, the joint camp was burned down by Soochow general Lu Yi, and they returned in a disastrous defeat. It is a pity."
"Oh," Zhou Xing likes to know the history of this world the most, and he couldn't help but become interested when he heard this. Not only because he has not forgotten the mission he came to this world with, but also because he is very interested in history.
"Your Majesty, please tell me, don't show off any more."
Ruban felt extremely helpful when he saw everyone looking at him expectantly. His talent was not bad since he was a child, but he is only an eighth-grade monk now. The bad thing is that he spends all his energy on other chores and has no intention of practicing.
.And the reason why he was hired to the governor's office is because he is really knowledgeable, especially the history and customs of Shu, which Ruban knows very well.
"I think back when Soochow betrayed the alliance and took advantage of the Shu merchant general's Northern Expedition to the Great Zhou Dynasty to sneak attack Jingzhou, and killed the Shu merchant general Guan Fei and occupied the entire Jingzhou area. Although Shang Zhaolie and Guan Fei were known as monarchs and ministers, they were like brothers. He ignored
There was a voice of opposition in the country, and the whole country was mobilized to attack Soochow and avenge Guan Fei. But the Naba Mountain trail was so narrow that hundreds of thousands of Shu merchants could not pass quickly. The front and rear camps were hundreds of miles long.
.”
"The general of Soochow, Lu Yi, saw this clearly. He took advantage of the fact that the vanguard of the Shu merchant army had just come out of the mountain pass, while the rear army was still hundreds of miles away, and suddenly attacked with fire, defeating all the forward camps of the Shu merchants. At that time,
The vanguard was defeated and fled back, while the rear army was still advancing. How could they win in such a situation? As for the navy of Shu merchants, due to the rapid currents in Bashan, there was no place on both sides to camp on the shore, so they could only camp on boats.
I watched helplessly as Pao Ze on the shore was being chased by Soochow and could not save him."
"What a pity." Ru Ban said with a long sigh, "Zhaolie's ambition is as good as Emperor Wu of Zhou. After defeating Zhou Wu in the battle of Hanzhong, he was waiting for two groups to march to seize the two capitals, but he didn't want to suffer such a disastrous defeat in Yidu.
A few months later, he died of illness. God is destiny! This destiny is not with Zhaolie, this destiny will eventually belong to the Jin Dynasty. To be honest with you, we people in Yizhou have been hurt by Zhaolie so far, and we hate such a wise king.
Unexpectedly, he failed to achieve great things."
Looking at Ruban's slightly depressed expression, Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh. He had never integrated into this world, and he didn't even know the history of this world at all. Before he met Wang Tianci, he didn't even know how to write books.
After meeting Wang Tianci, he was busy practicing all day long. It was only when he met this wonderful person like Ru Ban that he heard so much about the history of this world.
The boat they took had no sails, just a few boatmen on both sides rowing oars at a very slow speed.
Zhou Xing stood proudly on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands. He changed the subject and asked Ruban, who was also standing on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands: "I wonder what the main business here in Bodao is?"
"There has been the Ancient Tea Horse Road here in Bodao since ancient times, connecting our Shu region with Nanzhong, Ningzhou and even Jiaozhi and even Shendu. The tea, salt, Shu brocade, porcelain, etc. produced here are the most popular among these business travelers.
Items they like, and their jade, agate, ivory and other items are also liked by the rich people in Shu."
When Ru Ban said this, his face showed a look of pride again, "To be honest with you, the richness of Shu, in your opinion, although you dare not say that it is the best in the world, it is not inferior to Luoye City and other places. Don't say Shu.
There are so many rich businessmen in the county, and there are also rich businessmen from other counties such as Qianwei, Jiangyang, and even Hanjia, Guanghan. They come and go in teams of carriages, followed by clouds. What's more, some are wearing jade and gold, as if they were princes. Not only because
Shu is rich in products, and it is the Ancient Tea Horse Road, together with the north and south, that has created a large number of wealthy merchants. We, Shu, deserve to be called the land of abundance."
"Oh." Zhou Xing was happy when he heard this. After he and Wang Tianyun held their wedding in Wuyang, the Wang family not only gave Wang Tianyun a lot of dowry, but also distributed dozens of slaves. Refugees were everywhere in Shu, and the roadside
There are many people selling their sons and daughters by planting grass on them. Except for Nian Qiu, who are old people, the others have just been bought. This makes Zhou Xing, who has never lived with such a big family, secretly worried.
He is a homebody who doesn’t know how to farm or invent. Along the way, he is very worried about his future livelihood. At this time, after listening to Ru Ban’s words, it was as if the clouds were clearing and the sun was revealed.
He had never been a boss before and always thought like a migrant worker. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was now the boss.
If used well, these slaves are employees who make money for themselves, rather than being a burden to themselves.
"It's better to do business. You can make money quickly by doing business." Zhou Xing thought excitedly, "Sichuan salt, Shu brocade, silk and other items have always been best-sellers. It seems that my decision to come to Yizhou was absolutely right.
.”
"Shame, aunt, why are there so many naked people over there?" When the boat was approaching the shore, someone had already taken the tow rope and flown it to the shore and handed it to the trackers on the riverside. When these trackers were pulling the tow, they were almost all over their bodies.
Naked, several people carried thick ropes on their shoulders and marched forward while shouting slogans.
Zhou Xing and Wang Tianyun asked Gao Lin and Gao Xiang to call him uncle and aunt. Seeing this scene, little Gao Lin covered her eyes with her hands, but spread her fingers slightly to look at this thing she had never seen before curiously.
Scene, shouted crisply.
When Wang Tianyun saw it, she said "Yeah" and quickly asked Nianqiu to take little Gao Lin back to the cabin. This made Zhou Xing laugh.
Bo Dao, this is finally here.
Not to mention that Zhou Xing and his party went ashore and came to the county seat and were warmly received by Tian Tu, the head of Bodao County. After the banquet, they rested in the county seat for another night, and then they left the county seat and headed southeast of the city.
We walked. The person leading the way was Bo Dao County Lord Bo, who looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth. His name was Yan Meiting. He was extremely enthusiastic about the hospitality he received along the way. In Zhou Xing's opinion, that was no longer the category of enthusiasm.
, almost to the point of flattery.
He was not used to this. He had never liked this kind of person.
Ruban obviously doesn't like this kind of person either, and he can feel Zhou Xing's rejection of Yan Meiting, and he looks down upon Zhou Xing even more. In Ruban's view, even though he is a subordinate of the county governor, he is not the same.
As a monk, he was recruited by the county governor over and over again. It was his duty as a subordinate to be loyal and conscientious, but this duty did not include flattering his superior.
My class relies on our ability to make a living, not on charity from others.
A group of them rode horses and cars for about an hour and arrived at a town that was a little crowded. When they learned that he was coming today, hundreds of people gathered in the town early in the morning, including old and young people.
It was small and dark. When Zhou Xing's motorcade appeared in their field of vision, the dark group of people immediately knelt on both sides of the road and looked at Zhou Xing and the others curiously.
"Welcome our Lord to return home!" These hundreds of people, led by a man who looked like a pavilion chief, shouted in unison.
Zhou Xing had never seen such a posture before. He was immediately startled and felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to speak, but his throat was extremely dry and his mind was blank. He had no idea what to say.
