In the blink of an eye, Old Liu had been practicing martial arts with Tong Yuan on the mountain for almost two months. Old Liu had almost mastered the Overlord Spear Technique. What he needed now was actual combat training. Under Old Liu's tireless efforts, his internal energy cultivation method had also improved greatly.
That night, after the three of them had dinner, they gathered together to chat. Tong Yuan said,"" Xuande, I have taught you everything I can. I know that you have lofty ambitions. The current emperor is fatuous and unreasonable. He favors eunuchs and levies exorbitant taxes, causing the people of the world to live in poverty. For the sake of the people of the world, you'd better leave the mountain. I hope that I, an old man, can still see a peaceful and prosperous world in my lifetime.”
After all, he was a modern man. Old Liu knew that all good things must come to an end. Therefore, although he was reluctant to part with the master and disciple, he still had a lot of things to do. He remembered that when he read novels about the Three Kingdoms in the past, he had always been brooding over the fact that everyone did not eliminate the Rebellion of the Yellow Turban. It was because of this war that the population of the Han Dynasty plummeted, leading to the decline of the national strength, and finally leading to the occurrence of the Five Barbarians. Since he was already here... Then he would do his best to prevent this disaster from happening.
It was now September of the year 180, and there were still three and a half years before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He had to strive to accumulate a certain amount of strength within this limited time. At the same time, according to his knowledge of history, he had to take in those rebel generals who could be taken in and kill those who could not. In short, no matter what methods he used, his goal was to prevent this war from happening before his eyes.
Old Liu came back to his senses and hurriedly replied,""Even though you didn't take me as your disciple, you've taught me a lot of things in the past two months. I've also learned a lot of things. I'll go down the mountain now and do as you say.”
After saying that, Old Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tong Yuan.
Although he did not take Xuande as his disciple, he had indeed taught him the Overlord Spear Technique. However, in fact, Xuande had benefited him a lot. His Taiji Fist had expanded his train of thought in martial arts. He had thought that he could not advance any further, but he had made progress. Most importantly, what he had said, his thoughts, and knowledge had broadened his horizons.
Old Liu, who was kneeling, suddenly had a new idea when he saw Tong Yuan's thoughtful look. Since Tong Yuan had such kung fu, why not tie him to him? In the future, he could let Tong Yuan train some generals for him. Wouldn't that be icing on the cake?
"I lost my father when I was a child," said Old Liu,"and now I feel like old friends at first sight. If Old Tong does not abandon me, I am willing to acknowledge Old Tong as my foster father. Please allow me."”
Tong Yuan was stunned by Liu Bei's suggestion. He thought that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han clan, and he was just a commoner. But after thinking about it carefully, Tong Yuan felt that it was a good idea, especially since he had a good impression of Liu Bei. After spending two months with him, he had developed a deep relationship with Liu Bei. At the same time, he felt that Liu Bei would definitely have great achievements in the future. So, he decided to hand over his old bones to Liu Bei.
"Since Xuande says so, then I won't…
You're too polite. In the future, when you need godfather, just say the word. Although godfather is old, it's not the time when he's useless.”
"Godfather, what are you saying? You still have to make decisions for me in the future.”
He kowtowed three more times to Tong Yuan. Even if his godfather recognized him, little Zhao Yun was even happier. She hurried up to Old Liu and greeted him again." Little Brother Zhao Yun greets Senior Brother." Old Liu quickly said," Junior Brother, you don't have to be so polite. We still have to thank Godfather for this."”
Zhao Yun also wanted to go down the mountain with Old Liu, but Old Liu felt that Zhao Yun was still young and her martial arts had not yet reached a high level. It would be better to wait for another four or five years, so he said to Zhao Yun,"Junior Brother, you should learn martial arts from Master. In the future, I will definitely bring you out and help the Great Han Dynasty.”
Hearing Old Liu's words, Zhao Yun didn't say anything else. She thought that she would practice her martial arts as soon as possible and leave the mountain as soon as possible. Together with her senior brother, she would make contributions.
"What is Xuande planning to do with this trip?" Tong Yuan asked Old Liu. Tell foster father and see if he can help you.”
"Godfather, I plan to go to Zhen Ding County first and find Zhao Yun's elder brother. I'll sell the things I brought back from overseas. That way, I'll have the capital to go to Luoyang and acknowledge my ancestors. If I can get the recognition of the royal family, I can think of a way to buy a prefect or county governor. With the official position and territory, I can also contribute to the world and the people of the Han Dynasty.”
"Xuande, your idea is very good. Since you want to go to Luoyang, I have an old friend in Luoyang. Perhaps he can help you. I'll give you a token. When you see him, just say that I asked you to look for him.”
"Thank you, Godfather. Who are you talking about?”
Tong Yuan turned around and rummaged through the cabinet for a while. Then, he took out a small peach wooden sword and handed it to Old Liu. At the same time, he also gave Old Liu a heavy bag.
"My old friend is called Wang Yue. His Kung Fu is on par with mine (Tong Yuan suddenly thought that his Kung Fu had improved recently, so he must be better than Wang Yue). He runs a martial arts school in Luoyang. My friend is good at everything, but he wants to be an official. It's a pity that he hasn't become an official for so many years. If Xuande has the chance in the future, he can help him realize his wish.”
What, it was Wang Yue? Old Liu was ecstatic again. It seemed that the heavens were too good to him. The moment he arrived, he had given him two experts of the Han Dynasty.
He took the sword. It was no different from the peach wood sword that he had sold before. It was said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits. The only difference was that the word 'Wang' was engraved on the sword.
Tong Yuan then said to Old Liu," Xuande, this is the money I gave you. Although it's not much, it's at least a hundred taels of gold. I don't need it now. Take it with you. It'll be enough for you for a while."”
Opening the heavy cloth bag, there were a few gold ingots and some scattered gold nuggets inside. Old Liu weighed it in his hand and found that it weighed about six or seven pounds. At that time, one pound was sixteen taels, so six or seven pounds was more than a hundred taels. Old Liu hurriedly thanked his foster father.
"Xuande, remember to send my regards to Wang Yue when you see him.”
"Yes, I remember…
It's over."
After bidding farewell to Tong Yuan and his disciple, Old Liu left with the gold and a few pieces of clothing. He also carried his King Yu Spear and left.
Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun had already eaten the few ears of fruit corn in their backpacks. They had never thought that there would be corn with such a taste in the world. After eating, they looked at Old Liu. Old Liu still remembered the look in their eyes. It was obvious that they were not satisfied. As for Old Liu, he wondered how the ones in the car were doing. If they could be used as seeds, they could be planted next year. If they could really produce this kind of corn, they could eat as much as they wanted.
After two months of practicing the Internal Strength that Tong Yuan had taught him, Old Liu's body had become even more terrifying than before. His eyesight, hearing, and reflexes had all been greatly improved. In addition, he had practiced the Overlord Spear Technique. Old Liu was full of confidence in himself. He hummed a tune along the way and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was really happy.
After being happy for a while, Old Liu suddenly discovered a new problem. He was currently impersonating Liu Bei. What if the real Liu Bei was still around? Could it be that he was going to kill him?
Thinking of this, Old Liu felt a headache coming on. However, he thought about it again. Since God had changed him into Liu Bei's appearance, perhaps he had also changed Liu Bei away. It was also possible that he had swapped places with him. Thinking of this, Old Liu suddenly became afraid. If Liu Bei returned to his home in the modern world, his wife and children would all belong to him. Wouldn't he be taking advantage of him?
However, on second thought, Liu Bei would be doing his duty on his behalf even if he went. What he would get would be his wives and the empire. Thinking of this, Old Liu's heart was at peace. He was also happy. On the way, he hunted a few pheasants and rabbits and brought them to Zhao Yun's grandfather later.
The mountain road that spanned more than ten miles was soon gone. Old Liu found his Jetta first. After all, there were few people here, so it seemed that no one had discovered it.
He removed the tree branches that he had pressed on the car last time and opened the car door. Old Liu was afraid that there would be a problem with the car, so he tried to get out of the car. It seemed that the quality of the Jetta was indeed good. There was no problem at all. Looking at the oil gauge, there was almost half a tank of gas left.
He looked at the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the car. Fortunately, they were not rotten. They were all dry. Since he had nothing to do now, Old Liu rubbed the corn off and found a plastic bag. He weighed it and estimated that it was at least two pounds. He would try to plant them next year. Whether they could germinate or not depended on God.
Old Liu also prepared to use sweet potatoes and potatoes as seeds. According to his knowledge of history, these two plants did not exist in the Han Dynasty. If he could plant them successfully, it would be a great thing for the people. It was said that the yield of this sweet potato could reach 1,000 kilograms per mu, which was more than 2,000 kilograms. It was easy to store and had high nutritional value. In times of disaster, the people would not have to worry about not having enough food to fill their stomachs.
He checked the items in the car. There were a few signature pens, a few notebooks that Old Liu used to keep records, his driver's license and driving book, the Swiss Army knife that he had always carried with him, and the laptop in the car. However, the battery was also…
'It can only be used for two hours. I'd better put it in the car first. Thankfully, there's an inverse power supply in my car, which can convert the direct current in the car into alternating current. When I have the conditions in the future, I'll move this car to my house. It'll be more convenient to use it. There's a complete set of maps of the Three Kingdoms Period, some very practical materials, many e-books, some current blockbusters and games in my computer.'
There was nothing else to take from the car. The rearview mirror in the car was probably no longer needed. Old Liu broke it off with all his might. The mirrors were all polished with copper, so the person who reflected it was not very clear. His own and the two rearview mirrors outside the car could probably be sold for a good price. He opened the trunk and took out the tools. Old Liu carefully took down the three mirrors, wrapped them up, and put them in his backpack.
In the backseat and trunk, there were a few boxes of crystals and glassware that needed to be exchanged. He had given some to the old village chief last time. He wondered how the sales were going.
He picked out some necklaces and bracelets, some pendants, and some slightly larger crystal ornaments on the table. Among them was a crystal globe. Old Liu put them all into his backpack and stuffed two bottles of Erguotou into it.
Seeing that his backpack was almost full, Old Liu locked the car again. In order to save electricity, he even removed the battery's connection. This kind of battery was maintenance-free and sealed well. It was estimated that it would not run out of electricity even after a few months.
After tidying up everything, Old Liu used the branches to cover the car. There were still a few large pieces of wood on it.
Seeing that the car was no longer easily discovered, Old Liu carried his backpack, picked up the rabbits and pheasants he had just caught, and ran to the old village chief's house.
When they arrived at the old village chief's house, Old Liu bowed to the old village chief and handed a few small animals to the old village chief. He also told him that Zhao Yun and the others were very good.
Seeing Old Liu return, the old village chief was very happy and said to Old Liu,""Xuande, after you left last time, I sent a message to Zhao Sheng and asked him to come back when he had time. A few days later, Zhao Sheng came back. I showed Xuande's things to him and asked him to bring them back and think of a way to sell them for more money. Although my grandson is quite knowledgeable, he was shocked when he saw your things. In his eyes, each of those dozens of treasures is a priceless treasure. He asked me about the origin of these things. My grandson brought all those treasures back, but he never came back after that, so I don't know if you sold those things.”
"Grandpa Zhao, I'm not in a hurry. I'm going back to Zhen Ding County. Tell me Zhao Sheng's address and I'll go to his place to take a look.”
In fact, he wanted to go to Zhending because he knew that there were two generals in this city, namely Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Although they were not top experts, they should be second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Now that he was here, he couldn't let them go. In the end, Yuan Shao benefited. This time, he must find them and persuade them to become his followers, especially Yan Liang, who was actually a general with both civil and military talents. It would definitely be of great help to his future development.
Old…
The village chief chatted for a while more and asked about the way to Zhending County and the name of Zhao Sheng's jewelry store in the city. Old Liu only found out after the old village chief mentioned it. In fact, Zhao Village was not very far from Zhending County. It was about ten miles away. Zhao Sheng's jewelry store was of a decent scale. Its name was Long Bao Zhai, and it was in the middle of the busiest street in the county. If he could not find it, he could ask a passerby and most people would know.
Seeing that it was only past 10 am, Old Liu decided not to have lunch at the old village chief's house. He decided to go straight to Zhending County. With his speed, he would arrive in about an hour even though he had brought a lot of things. He would have lunch after he found Zhao Sheng.
After rejecting the village chief's invitation to stay for dinner, Old Liu set off on the road to Zhending County. It was not a road, but it was nothing like the current road. It was similar to the gravel road we saw in the suburbs or countryside when we went to the countryside for fun. It was uneven and only two meters wide. In the future, when he had a foothold in the county, he could drive the Jetta back. However, he had to pull the car out of the forest at the foot of the mountain first. There was no road from there to Zhao Village. They could only think of a way to use manpower or cattle and horses to pull them onto this road. However, they still had to cross the river that was about five meters wide. It should be frozen in winter.
On the way, Old Liu saw very few farmlands, and only corn was planted. There was basically no rice. Thinking about it, this place was not a place that produced rice. There were cabbage and radish, as well as sorghums and millet. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and they could occasionally meet a few. When they saw the Yu King Spear that Old Liu was carrying, the pedestrians avoided Old Liu far away and went around the wild or farmlands.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally saw a city in front of them. The city was not very big. It was similar to the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi that Old Liu had been to. As it was closer to the city, there were more pedestrians.
The city gate was bustling with people. There were soldiers standing guard outside the city gate and on the city wall, but there were not many of them. When Old Liu entered the city, the soldiers also checked him. However, when they saw Old Liu's imposing appearance and the three-meter-long King Yu Spear, the soldiers did not make things difficult for him. After asking, they knew that he was looking for someone in the city, so they let him in.
