Although the dog raft can run fast, it still needs to make a big circle to climb up the lake embankment.

By the time Da Bang Chui drove ashore, the three Nuo Zha brothers had already gone far.

There is a walled city in the distance, with gates but no walls.

Presumably, there won't be any large-scale wars in this wild land. A few fences are enough to resist the bandits.

Suddenly, there was a sound of trumpets, the gate of the village opened wide, and dozens of people poured out like a wave, quickly lining up on both sides, some holding large banners, and some holding painted halberds. It was obvious at a glance that they were a guard of honor to welcome guests.

Four more people walked out to greet them. Walking in front of the three Nuo Zha brothers was a burly man wearing an open fur coat and wearing a Diao Chan. He was holding a nine-story iron tower in his hand, looking majestic.

When Qingyun and others approached, seeing the opponent's array, they hurriedly jumped off the raft and faced him.

As soon as Da Bangchui tightened the dog leash, someone rushed forward, nodded and bent down to take the dog cart over.

"Which one is Tangun, the head of the Gyeong... Gyeong clan?"

Apparently the Nuo brothers did not clearly inform them of their names, and the owner of Chentangguan did not dare to randomly register names, so he had to pass them by vaguely.

Qingyun smiled and greeted him,

"I, Qingyun, am the thirty-ninth generation of Tangun.

Your Excellency, are you the master of Chentangguan, Li Jing, General Li?"

"Oh, Tangun actually knows Lee's name, I'm really flattered.

Quick, quick, please come inside!"

Qingyun should have been flattered at this moment.

In this desolate land outside the fortress, his name as Tangun actually became a golden sign, allowing the master of Chentangguan to personally welcome him out of the stronghold. What was the cause and effect?

The village in Chentangguan is not big. The so-called pass is naturally an elegant name. In fact, it is nothing more than a village with about a hundred families living there.

The most eye-catching building in the village is a two-story attic, with cornices and brackets, and black tiles and red paint. It is probably the so-called Tianzong Temple.

Other than that, all the houses are flat-floor. Except for the slight elevation of the terrain and the appearance of the facades, the standards are the same.

Several people passed by a square pond. The water in the pond had long been frozen, but there was an old man lying on the ice with his chest and back exposed, motionless.

Qingyun couldn't help being curious and looked at it a few more times.

Li Jing knew what she was thinking and hurriedly explained,

"This man's name is Beihai Caodou, and he is a Qi practitioner.

However, his Qi training method is different from other schools. It does not seek to activate blood and strengthen strength.

Instead, we do the opposite, pursuing reducing blood flow and consumption, and reducing the speed of blood circulation.

Because his blood flow is slow and his body temperature is different from ordinary people, there is no need to keep warm when it is freezing outdoors.

The inner breath that has been practiced in this way has a unique kind of evil spirit, which is extremely domineering.

He uses the inner breath to move his palms, and takes the allusion of Xuanming's fighting, so he calls it the Xuanming Divine Palm.

Those who are hit by the Xuanming Divine Palm will suffer partial frostbite and black death, and their blood vessels will be stagnated.

If there is no way to activate blood circulation, at least it will cause embarrassment for life, and at worst, it will cause death due to cold poison attacking the heart.

He has two apprentices, one is named Wuluzhangren and the other is named Dahe Qiuhao. They are both famous mountain bandits in the white mountains and black waters.

If you meet him in the future, be very careful.

Telling the name of Master Beihai may help eliminate disasters, hehe."

"I originally thought that the only way to practice Qi was Taoism, but I didn't expect that there are so many other ways.

The world is so vast and full of wonders."

"Hey, what Tangun said is not bad at all. The method of practicing Qi in the world is inseparable from the Three Purities.

Even the so-called chakra for body poison was saved by the sages of the Li family in the past.

The art of cultivating Qi in the Central Plains most likely originated from Li Xiaoyao, the ancestor of the Li family.

His "Xiaoyaoxinjue" has been widely circulated in Xingxiuhai, the source of the river, to the west of Longdi.

Later, Taoism spread internally and spread in the Central Plains.

Xiaoyao Xin Jue is divided into three chapters: Yin, Yang and Tai Chi.

Taoism has its authentic version, while other schools have adopted scattered chapters.

This Beihai clan's method is improved from the Yin Pian Heart Jue.

Oh, this is my humble abode. I didn’t know that Tangun was coming in advance and prepared in a hurry. It’s really a bit condescending.”

The Li Jing family's house is located second only to the Tianzong Temple in the village. It has an excellent view. Its structure is a standard Central Plains courtyard. Although the decoration is very simple, it is kept extremely neat.

Mrs. Li has already arranged the banquet and drinks in the hall, waiting for the distinguished guests to come.

The guests and hosts were seated, Qingyun couldn't help but ask,

"General Li, when we first met, why are you so enthusiastic about me?"

General Li waved his hand quickly,

"Tangun must not claim to be a subordinate.

The Li family of Chentang traveled outside the Great Wall, admonishing their ancestors to respect Tangun, the Heavenly Lord.

I hope that his subordinates will not disobey orders..."

When Qingyun heard the word Tianzun, he reflexively raised his voice.

"What did General Li say? Tianzun?"

Could it be that Chen Tang really has contacts with Tianzong?"

Li Jing didn't understand why Qingyun was suddenly so nervous. He was stunned for a moment. Then he guessed that Qingyun might have some conflicts with the current Tianzong forces, so he became more careful when speaking.

"Um, well, the Li family lives in seclusion in the bitter cold, and has long lost contact with the current Tianzong Tanzong.

But because of the old relationship, we still have a certain respect for each other."

Qingyun frowned and said, "According to General Li, how much connection does Tianzong and Tanzong have in ancient times?"

"There is indeed some connection. Well, I just don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Li Jing didn't understand what kind of conflict there was between the two sects now. If he said the wrong thing and offended the distinguished guest, he would not look good.

Qingyun was also generous and said, "General Li, I just said it's okay. I'm here to ask for advice."

"Don't dare, don't dare.

The origin of the two sects, Tianzong and Tanzong, must start from the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the heads of tribes outside the Great Wall were all called Heavenly Kings.

According to the custom of Chentang, my people today also call me the King of Heaven.

The so-called king of heaven is called Chanyu in Xiongnu, and Khan in ghosts, each ruling one side.

However, since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, all tribes have jointly elected alliance leaders. The so-called Great Chanyu, the Khan of Heaven, is the deity.

Therefore, he can be called a Heavenly Lord, his status is at least the leader of one party, and his virtues and martial arts will be obeyed by all tribes outside the Great Wall."

The more Qingyun listened, the more confused he became. What does the concept of the so-called Tianzun mentioned here have to do with today's Tianzong?

What does it have to do with Tan Zong?

But out of politeness, he did not interrupt and continued to listen.

"During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the supreme general Liu Hong, a powerful man named Tan Shihuai emerged from the north of the Great Wall.

He was unparalleled in bravery and defeated Dingling, Wusun, and Fuyu one after another, and unified all the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes. From the desert to the sea, he formed a country thousands of miles away.

In terms of territory alone, it was even worse than the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time.

Therefore, Tan Shihuai's title of Heavenly Lord is probably the most undisputed one since he received this title.

Tan Shihuai's father, King Touluhou, was the leader of a tribe in Mobei, which belonged to the Xiongnu at that time and had not yet been renamed Xianbei.

However, since Tan Shihuai himself was of the Tan family, he took his mother's surname.

Legend has it that Tou Luhou went on an expedition for three years. When he returned, he found that the Dalan family was pregnant. He thought it was a great insult and wanted to kill his son.

But the Dalan clan fought to the death to protect each other and sent the child to the mother's family, and they were lucky enough to escape.

The mother clan of Tan Tianzun is the descendant of Tan clan of Tanzong.

They are the descendants left in the country when the Lord of Jizi invited Master Tan Gong to teach him."

The so-called causes and effects of Li Jing, Nuo Zha, and Chentangguan must of course be discussed in detail. But I am afraid we cannot leave them out in this section, so we will discuss them next time.

Here are some notes for this chapter.

First of all, a trivia. If someone asks what is the highest general rank in the Han Dynasty? Some people with a historical background will answer that you are the general. This answer is wrong. The highest general rank in the Han Dynasty is the supreme general. At this time, the Han Dynasty

The military rank used by the Ling Emperor Liu Hong in person was the same as that of General Tiance in the Tang Dynasty. It was a title that could not be matched by ants. In this article, Li Jing calls Liu Hong the supreme general, which is based on the custom of people outside the Great Wall who worship the title of heavy general.
