Chapter 73: Divine Movement ( Collections and More)
"Gentlemen, please forgive my abruptness. Although we have only met once, I can see that you both stood up and acted bravely in the face of the current situation. You are both brave and righteous. The world is in chaos, treacherous officials are in power, and the people are suffering. My prince is willing to support the new ruler to take power, implement new policies, eliminate the treacherous officials, and restore peace and prosperity to Daqing, so as to bring welfare to the people. I hope you will help me!"

After the matter was made clear, Yue Yongfeng knelt in front of the two of them again, speaking earnestly.

Chang Miao felt a little embarrassed by the praise and lowered her voice to say to Li Ming: "Brother, what do you think? I think what he said is true. Should we help?"

Li Ming chuckled, his mind clear as a mirror, he was just flattering me and using rhetoric to pressure me so that I feel embarrassed to refuse. Yue Yongfeng looked like an upright man, but he was an old hand after all, so he had some tricks up his sleeve.

Of course, Li Ming would never say this out loud. Instead, he nodded, helped Yue Yongfeng up, and said, "Since what Brother Yue is doing is for the benefit of the people, we will naturally not refuse."

Yue Yongfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and even wanted to kowtow again but was stopped by Li Ming.

"But gentlemen, since you are going to Yuhua Mountain, I'm afraid..." Yue Yongfeng said hesitantly after standing up.

"It's a small matter, just a detour. Let's go back to the mountain after we finish our business. Anyway, the master didn't specify when to go back to the mountain. Instead, he asked us to take a look at the scenery below the mountain." Chang Miao said with a smile.

Li Ming looked at Chang Miao and sighed, "You, I see, are just itching to go out and have some fun."

Chang Miao smiled and said, "Didn't you, Senior Brother, tell me to be more open-minded? The more I see, the more I pretend."

Li Ming didn't say much after hearing this, but just smiled. He then bowed to Yue Yongfeng and said, "I think your whereabouts have probably been exposed, Brother Yue. Let's adjust our route slightly to prevent the other party from setting any more traps and ambushes."

Yue Yongfeng hissed, then said, "Mr. Changqing, I shouldn't say much, but if we take a detour, I'm afraid we won't have enough time. My uncle originally told me to bring the relic back within a month, but now I only have seven days, maybe six. If I take another detour, I'm afraid..."

Li Ming laughed and said, "No problem, you'll see what I can do tomorrow."

Yue Yongfeng's eyes lit up, and when he thought about the fact that the two men possessed Taoist skills, he felt relieved. He thanked them again and again and then went back to his room to rest.

After Yue Yongfeng left, Li Ming's expression changed slightly.

Chang Miao asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Li Ming sneered and said, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome from now on."

Chang Miao didn't understand what was going on and asked, "Don't we just need to help escort the relic to the capital?"

"It's not that simple," Li Ming said, looking out the window and shaking his head. "The most troublesome thing in the world is getting caught up in the vortex of power. What a pity..."

Li Ming subconsciously touched the Eight-Gate Dragon-Seeking Plate on his chest, thinking to himself, "There is indeed a connection between the Qi. Now that the hidden vein has not yet appeared, and the Daqing dragon vein is not overthrown, I am afraid that the country's fortune will last for a few years. If I really want to make a plan, I can only take a risky move and put myself in the vortex."

"What a pity?" Chang Miao asked again.

Li Mingze laughed and said, "Why are you asking? You have so little experience in the martial arts world and life. You have a lot to learn."

"But senior brother, we grew up together." Chang Miao looked straight at Li Ming and said.

"There are differences between people, understand?" Li Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow to travel. Oh, and prepare some armor and horses, they will be needed tomorrow." Chang Miao snorted and muttered, "You only know how to order me to do these little things. It's not like you don't know the magic of walking."

"Hmm?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows.

Chang Miao immediately said, "Brother, you know that I have a weak foundation and am not yet proficient. You gave me the opportunity to practice. I really want to thank you, Brother."

"Well, the boy is teachable. Go quickly." Li Ming laughed and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

Chang Miao had no choice but to take out a few things from her luggage and get ready. At this time, a breeze blew in the room for no reason. Chang Miao glanced at Li Ming who was sitting cross-legged, and curled her lips, but did not say much.

The next morning.

Before five o'clock in the morning, the three of them had packed their luggage, left a few dimes and went outside the village.

"Where is Jia Ma?" Li Ming asked Chang Miao.

"It's ready!" Chang Miao agreed with a smile, and took out a stack of yellow paper from his bag. On it was a picture of a god riding a horse, and some spells were written with cinnabar.

Li Ming took it in his hand, looked through it, and nodded.

Then, two armor horses were tied on each of the three men's legs, and a towel was tied on their foreheads. Li Ming held a command flag in his hand, asked the two men to put their hands on his shoulders, and then recited the mantra of the gods.

How can we know that the magic of walking is effective? There is evidence in "Xijiangyue":
It's like riding a mist, vaguely like soaring into the clouds. My feet fly, leaving the mundane world behind, climbing mountains and rushing on. In an instant, I've left the town, and a moment later, I've passed the state capital. The golden armor and horse are truly divine, and a thousand miles seem close before my eyes.

This is the art of supernatural speed. By chanting the spell, you can obtain the supernatural power of the armored horse, and it can run as fast as flying. It can travel 800 miles a day without any effort. Even if it runs all day long, it will not feel tired. It is better than a Ferghana horse.

What's even more amazing is that even when riding a horse, one can only take the main road. After using this method, the mountains will be like flat land, and the rivers will be like flowing water. In this way, one can avoid being seen by others and not take the main road.

Last night, Li Ming's spirit traveled out of the blue, looking for a specific path.

It is a remote and uninhabited place, with mountains on both sides and rivers blocking the way, making it even more dangerous.

I can only say that this path is not something that ordinary people can think of.

This further reduced the risk of word leaking out, and coupled with their incredible speed, they truly covered half the distance in a single day, stopping at an inn for the night. Unhooking the armored horse, the divine movement hadn't yet concluded, and they needed to fetch some gold paper as a farewell gift, burning it along with the armored horse. Since the horse god provided transportation, they also had to pay a small fee.

Of course, there are many things to pay attention to when using this technique, such as not consuming meat, alcohol, etc., otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced. Of course, Li Ming knows all of this very well and will naturally not violate the rules.

After three days, the three finally arrived at the city gate of the capital at dusk.

ps: The "Xijiang Yue" in the article is the original text of Water Margin, and the magical walking technique here is also taken from Dai Zong in Water Margin. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.
