The days passed quickly and dully. In the blink of an eye, it was already midsummer. The sun was scorching hot, making people sweat profusely. Even at night, it was unbearably hot. The villagers from each house and courtyard held cattail leaf fans and lit up smoked grass. They formed groups of three or five and chatted about old things or the harvest of crops. They were happy and content. As for the cattail leaf fan, it was naturally created by Liu Yuan. The purpose was to cool it down. Who knew which child had leaked the secret and made the whole village follow the trend. Incense had existed since ancient times. In the hot summer, there were many mosquitoes. Everyone knew that it was used to smoke. However, Liu Yuan used herbs collected from the mountains. Other people naturally used whatever grass they could find to smoke.
This was the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, the summer of 175 AD. It was also the most comfortable summer in the small mountain village. With a cattail leaf fan in each hand, lying on the recliner 'invented' by Liu Yuan and counting the stars, how could they not be leisurely?
The fire in the mud house flickered. Mother Liu lay on a brand-new recliner in the courtyard with her eyes closed. She gently fanned herself. The fragrance of the incense assaulted her taste buds. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.
With a creak, a sturdy figure walked out of the house. The light from the oil lamp in the house cast a long shadow in the courtyard. This person was Liu Yuan.
Compared to a few months ago, he had changed too much.
A few months ago, he was only five feet tall, which was about 1.2 meters. Although his figure was not thin, he was not very strong. But now, in just two months, he had grown two feet taller and his body was as strong as a cow!
This was the miraculous effect of the Body-strengthening Technique and the miraculous effect of the Blood Essence of a Weapon Grandmaster.
Due to the Weapon Grandmaster's blood essence, his Body Strengthening Technique improved very quickly. In the beginning, this kid thought that he was a natural genius with an excellent root bone. Later on, he gradually understood that it was because of the bowl of Weapon Grandmaster blood essence.
Now, Liu Yuan's achievements in strengthening his body had reached a small level. The muscles all over his body were firm, and he could exert thousands of pounds of strength with just a lift of his hand and a lift of his foot. Moreover, his skin and flesh were so firm that ordinary swords and knives could not hurt him at all. This was what he had learned when he tried using his own sharp kitchen knife.
"Hehe, this year is the fourth year of Xi Ping. Nine years later, it will be the Yellow Turban chaotic times. At that time, heroes will rise and heroes will fall. It will be the golden period to wander the world and make contributions.”Although the mountain village where Liu Yuan lived was sealed off, it was not as if he knew nothing about it. In order to find out where he was, Liu Yuan asked around and found out that it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong was in power. The mountain village was located in Yingchuan, and Yingchuan was the birthplace of many schemers and geniuses. There were the Xun Eight Dragons, the Guo Family's Fengxiao, Chen Qun's Changwen, Xi Zhongzhicai, and many other earth-shattering figures whose names resounded throughout the thousands of years of the future.
In his previous life, Liu Yuan had studied archeology. He had to understand history. If he didn't even understand history, what was the point of taking the test? The three kingdoms, where the stars gathered, was the brightest scene in history.
Liu Yuan was confident that with his understanding of history, his bravery, and his knowledge, he would be able to create a career in this era.
He could already feel the blood boiling in his chest. He could not wait to see the wisdom and martial arts of the ancients.
Seeing that his mother was resting with her eyes closed, Liu Yuan did not disturb her. He walked to the side alone, made a pose, and started practicing Tai Chi. After a round of fist techniques, Liu Yuan's body started to heat up slightly. He looked at the Yin Yang fish pattern under his feet and couldn't help but smile. Zhang Sanfeng probably didn't have much use for people. Taking a deep breath, Liu Yuan stood there for a long time. Suddenly, he moved!
Within a radius of ten feet, there were many figures moving about. Loud explosions spread far into the night, and waves of air swept across the entire courtyard with a cold wind, blowing up the leaves.
Mother Liu had already sat up. Her eyes were fixed on her son's heavy figure without blinking. However, there was a complicated look in his eyes from time to time. There was relief, excitement, and worry.
Logically speaking, as a mother, she could only feel gratified that her son had such capabilities. With his son's martial arts skills, he would definitely be able to make great contributions on the battlefield in the future. But as a mother, who wouldn't worry about their child? Fighting on the battlefield was a narrow escape!
Generals die a hundred times in battle, and warriors return ten years later!
Since ancient times, how many have returned to war?
She had to make a choice between bringing glory to her family and her son's life. As a mother, she would rather abandon all vanity than let her son be hurt.
However, the child had grown up and had his own thoughts. How could his mother hold him back? They could only silently support him.
Mrs. Liu's expression changed. In the end, there was only determination left, as if she had suddenly made up her mind. She stood up and walked a few steps. Then, she turned around to look at her son who was practicing martial arts and quickly walked into the house.
Liu Yuan was practicing the nameless battle skill. After a full hour, he finally stopped and stood still. Two streams of white gas were exhaled from his nostrils. They cut through the air like sharp swords and actually emitted a sharp cry.
Liu Yuan turned around and walked to the backyard. After washing himself with cold water, he returned to the house and saw his mother sitting on the armchair beside the table. Beside the table was his father's memorial tablet, and beside it was a roll of ancient bamboo slips.
Liu Yuan felt a little strange. His father's memorial tablet had always been on the wall in the middle of the hall. It would not be taken out unless Liu Yuan caused trouble. Liu Yuan had never seen that bamboo slip before.
"Mother…"
Liu Yuan called out and walked over.
"Yuan 'er, come here." Mother Liu's voice was calm, but Liu Yuan was even more puzzled.
"Come, kneel down in front of your father's memorial tablet.”
Liu Yuan did as he was told.
"Yuan 'er, I don't know where you learned such shocking martial arts. However, Mother understood that my son had grown up.”Mother Liu sighed faintly and continued,"Yuan 'er, tell mother, what will you do in the future?”
"Mother, I only want to stay with you.”
"Tell me the truth!" Mother Liu's face darkened, and Liu Yuan could not help but be frightened.
"I want to imitate Wei Huo and chase the Hu Krupp to the north. I want to learn from Ban Chao and conquer the Western Regions!”Liu Yuan held his head high and looked at his mother seriously.""The most important thing is to glorify the family and let mother live a better life!”
"Sigh…" Liu Yuan's words did not make Mother Liu excited or happy. She let out a long sigh and said after a long time,"My son has grown capable and ambitious, but my son, do you know the dangers of this battle?”
" Of course I know, but Mother," Liu Yuan quickly said,""You still don't believe in my martial arts? Your son here promises you that nothing will happen to you.”
Liu Yuan naturally understood his mother's concerns, but he was confident that even with his current battle prowess, no one in the Great Han Dynasty could defeat him. Moreover, his martial arts were rapidly improving. In the future, when he roamed the world, who would be his match? Who had the ability to kill him?
Looking at her confident son, Mother Liu suddenly slapped Liu Yuan's face and scolded,""Bastard! The world is so big, there are many talented people, you are just a child, how can you be so confident?”
"Do you know that those who are good at water drown in water?"
Mother Liu looked at Liu Yuan in disappointment and said,""Do not underestimate anyone, no matter how powerful you are! Otherwise, you will always be by my side and not leave half a step. Rather than letting my son die, it is better to detain you. How can I send my son away?”
Liu Yuan instantly understood his mother's meaning and lowered his head in shame. During this period of time, because he had obtained the ancient inheritance, its magical sharpness had already made him feel a little dizzy. He actually felt that the world was like an ant and had long lost his heart. If this continued, he would either die in the hands of the enemy or go berserk. At the very least, his personality would change drastically, and at the very worst, he would die on the spot!
Cold sweat rolled down from his neck and soon drenched his entire body.
"Mother, I know my mistake!" Liu Yuan's head fell to the ground as he choked.
"Good child, get up." Mrs. Liu pulled Liu Yuan up and looked at his son's stiff face under the dim light of the oil lamp. She wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said kindly,"My son must always remember my mother's words. Don't disappoint me.”
"Yes!" Liu Yuan closed his lips tightly and nodded fiercely.
Mrs. Liu stared at him for a long time before nodding slowly. She reached out and took the bamboo slips on the table. She opened them and said,"My son has great ambitions, so I won't stop him. Tonight, I've thought it through. When a chick grows up, it will eventually fly out.”
As she spoke, Mother Liu handed the bamboo slip to Liu Yuan.
"This is…"
"My son, take a good look at the genealogy."
With the help of the dim light, Liu Yuan looked from the beginning to the end. His calm expression slowly turned into surprise.
"Mother, this…This…"
"Hehe, isn't it incredible?”Mother Liu laughed at herself and said,"I can't believe that a royal relative of the Han Dynasty has fallen to such a state…"
There were many names written clearly on the genealogy. The first name was Liu Ju, and the introduction was: Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Xiaowu, was wronged and died.
Liu Yuan had some understanding of Liu Ju, the crown prince of the Wei family. Liu Ju (128 - 91 B.C.) was the eldest son of Wei Zifu, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was also known as Prince Wei. Emperor Wu, who had just received his eldest son at the age of nearly 30, was extremely excited. As soon as he was born, he ordered people to write "Crown Prince Fu" for Liu Ju, which was equivalent to announcing to the world in advance that this newborn baby was the crown prince, and his mother, Wei Zifu, was made queen by his wife. Thus, Liu Ju was both the eldest son of Emperor Wu and his only legitimate son. Emperor Wu's actions further consolidated Liu Ju's position. In the first year of Yuan Shou (122 years ago), Liu Ju was made Crown Prince at the age of seven. Emperor Wu tried his best to cultivate this son and ordered the world's famous Confucian teachers to teach him Gongyang Spring and Autumn Annals and Guliang. After the crown prince was crowned, Emperor Wu built the Bowang Garden for him and let his son interact with guests there.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he had always pursued longevity and was very extravagant. In his later years, he became even more aggressive and appointed treacherous officials such as Jiang Chong. Emperor Wu and the prince had different political views and became increasingly alienated from each other, resulting in poor communication between father and son. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deceived by Jiang Chong, Su Wen and other crafty officials during the chaos of witchcraft. Liu Ju rebelled and fled after being defeated. Later, he committed suicide because he refused to be arrested and humiliated. Emperor Wu finally found out about the Crown Prince's injustice. Coupled with the pain of losing his son in his later years, he spent the rest of his life in regret. The case of Prince Xu greatly stimulated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, prompting him to reflect on himself, so that the policy of governing the country began to return from "excessive desire" to "inaction". Liu Xun, the grandson of Liu Ju, later ascended the throne as Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty. After the throne, Liu Ju was posthumously named "Li"(Eastern Han works "Shuo Wen":"Li." Qu, follow the dog out of the door. Violent means that the body is bent and violent." Therefore, the word "Li" should take the meaning of being wronged), so Liu Ju was also called "Prince."
It was not surprising that Liu Ju was on the bamboo slip. What surprised Liu Yuan was the last name of the genealogy-Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan, also known as Zihong, is the son of Liu Ping.
A few simple words had already revealed Liu Yuan's background. He was the direct descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che!
"But…But mother, when did I start writing?”Liu Yuan stared blankly at the genealogy for a long time before asking Mother Liu,""Didn't you only get up after you were crowned?”
Mrs. Liu did not say anything immediately. She only looked at the tablet for a long time before she said faintly,"Your father gave you a name before he died and personally engraved it on the genealogy…"
When Liu Yuan saw his mother's expression, he knew that she was reminiscing about her long-dead father again. He could not help but shut his mouth, and the entire room fell silent again.
After an unknown amount of time, Mother Liu let out a long sigh and freed herself from her thoughts. She said to Liu Yuan,"Now that everything has been explained to you, my son has grown up and has great ambitions. Remember to keep it well. Don't lose it, or you'll be a sinner of the Han Dynasty!”
Liu Yuan respectfully put away the genealogy and helped Mother Liu into her room to sleep. Only then did he return to his bedroom and could not fall asleep for a long time.
"So I, Liu Yuan, am also a relative of the Han clan. Heh, Comrade Liu Da Er, I can't let you be the only one who is beautiful now.”Thinking of Liu Bei, who had always called himself a member of the Han clan in history, Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.!”
As he thought about it, Liu Yuan fell asleep in a daze. In his dream, he seemed to have collected all the fierce generals and strategists, and also seemed to be beating up Liu Bei and Cao Cao. It was an extraordinary scene.
For the first time, Liu Yuan did not wake up on time. Mother Liu did not blame him. She only knew that what happened last night was hard to accept. She did not know that her child had a mature soul and spent the entire night fantasizing.
After eating, Liu Yuan took the hard bow from the wall and carried the big iron fork that was leaning against the wall outside the door. He ran straight into the forest with a gust of wind under his feet. Because Liu Yuan was born with divine strength (as the villagers understood), the old village chief suggested that he learn some fighting and archery skills, go hunting in the mountains, and add some food to the village. Liu Yuan himself had the same idea, so he naturally hit it off. A few days ago, he had already started hunting wild animals.
Because the art of military training was all about fighting and killing, Liu Yuan always felt that there was a killing intent in his heart that could not be released. Fortunately, he had Taiji Fist to recuperate and now he could go hunting in the mountains, so he could vent it. The inheritance had also specially instructed that cultivating the martial arts book would inevitably produce hostility and interfere with one's mind before one mastered it. One had to frequently see fresh blood to sharpen one's will in order to control it. Otherwise, there would be a risk of misfire.
Liu Yuan hadn't cultivated for a long time, so his killing intent wasn't strong enough. When his cultivation level increased, he would definitely go on the battlefield to vent his anger. Therefore, regardless of what he wanted or what his body needed, it was inevitable for him to fight on the battlefield in the future.
As for the old yellow cow, the villagers were amazed that it had killed a big worm a few days ago. Since it was not the busy farming season, there was no need for anyone to take care of it. Therefore, the old yellow cow was leisurely eating some grass and bark in the wild. When it saw Liu Yuan, it let out a long moo and ran over with its four hooves. It wagged its tail and followed Liu Yuan into the forest.
How could the yellow cow kill the big insect? In order to study the relationship between his transformation and the blood essence of a Weapon Grandmaster, Liu Yuan bit his finger and fed the yellow cow a few drops of blood. A few days later, the emaciated yellow cow began to gain some flesh. There were no more ribs on its chest and abdomen. It had grown again. Two months later, the yellow cow was now ten feet tall and more than ten feet long. The horns on its head were protruding and emitting a cold light. It looked extraordinary.
The change in Big Yellow's direction also proved the miraculous effect of the Weapon Grandmaster's blood essence. Liu Yuan finally believed that the rapid progress of the Body Strengthening Technique was not due to his talent, but due to external forces. He felt a little sad.
These days, whenever Liu Yuan left the village, Big Yellow would follow him closely. Moreover, this old yellow cow even wanted to eat some blood! No wonder it was so ferocious, able to kill a thousand-pound worm.
Big Yellow's fur was smooth, and it had great strength. Its skin and flesh gradually became impenetrable, and its speed was extremely fast. It was even faster than those thousand-li horses. Now, Liu Yuan liked Big Yellow more and more. He had already treated it as a mount for his future conquests. He could imagine Liu Yuan wearing golden armor and holding a long weapon in his hand in the future. He would ride on Big Yellow and charge through the enemy's formation. That look and feeling was simply... Just now!
