Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 78 Zhang Ning Yu Ji
"This woman is actually Zhang Ning?"

Ji Qiu's eyes flashed, feeling that this answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

Zhang Ning does not exist in official history and is only recorded in unofficial history.

Legend has it that Zhang Jiao had no children in his life, and only had this daughter in his later years, who was considered Zhang Jiao's heir.

After Zhang Jue's death, Zhang Ning was raised by the general Zhang Liang.

Later, Zhang Liang was defeated and killed, and Zhang Ning was secretly sent to General Zhang Bao.

But Zhang Bao died soon after, and eventually Zhang Bao's general Zhang Mancheng took him to Qingzhou.

After staying in Qingzhou for several years, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou were incorporated into the army by Cao Cao. At this time, someone reported Zhang Ning's affairs to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao ordered his arrest.

So Zhang Ning fled to Hebei, where he met Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan sent someone to bring Zhang Ning to Yecheng, hoping to marry her and use her identity as Zhang Jiao's daughter to develop his own power among the former Yellow Turbans.

But Zhang Ning refused to comply, took Zhang Yan's son Zhang Fang hostage, and fled from Yecheng.

Afterwards, Zhang Ning wandered around the Central Plains and Hebei, leading a small number of her former Yellow Turban followers to engage in guerrilla warfare against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Zhang Ning, who had fled to Shu Han, met Wei Yan, who was the governor of Liangzhou at the time.

Zhang Ning was resourceful, and Wei Yan always took her with him on every expedition. Families were not allowed in the Shu Han army, and even though Wei Yan was promoted to the rank of General Pingxi, he was no exception. So Zhang Ning disguised herself as a man and followed Wei Yan as his personal soldier.

The above is Zhang Ning’s modern unofficial history record, which is not guaranteed to be true, nor does it mean that this is Zhang Ning’s life experience in the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms world.

After all, if Zhang Ning's life experience really fits this unofficial history, then she shouldn't be here at this time.

However, Ji Qiu didn't care about Zhang Ning's life experience. What he cared about was the Taiping Essential Technique.

"How did this balance technique end up in your hands?" Ji Qiu asked.

Zhang Ning replied, "This is what my father taught me before he died. He asked me to find the next Yellow Turban leader who can practice the Taiping Art!
In fact, my visit to the Black Mountain Army this time was not only to check my father's belongings, but also to check whether Zhang Yan was able to practice the Taiping Essential Technique.

Since his father's death, the Yellow Turbans in various places have suffered severe blows, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has become the best among them.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yan is a selfish person with no sense of public spirit, and is totally unable to practice the Taiping technique!
That's why I decided to leave him!"

"But you only have the Heaven Scroll of the Taiping Technique in your hand. Where are the Earth Scroll and the Human Scroll?" Ji Qiu continued to ask.

Zhang Ning said: "When my father taught me the Taiping Art, he was already seriously ill.

At this moment, someone suddenly attacked, and my father managed to fight them off, but the Earth Scroll and Human Scroll of the Taiping Essential Technique were still stolen."

"How could he snatch the Taiping technique from Zhang Jiao? Who has such powerful strength?" Ji Qiu asked in astonishment.

Zhang Jiao's strength was endorsed by countless powerful people in the Han court.

Not to say it is the best in the world, but at least it is among the top three!
Even though he was seriously ill at the time, it was definitely not something that an ordinary person could handle.

Who was this person who was able to escape from Zhang Jue's grasp and even snatch away two volumes of Taiping Essential Techniques?!

Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know this person's true identity because he didn't reveal his identity at the time, but after all these years of investigation, I think there is one person who is very suspicious!"

"Who?" Ji Qiu asked.

Zhang Ning said: "Yu Ji!"

"Yu Ji? If it's this person, then it's really possible!"

Ji Qiu blinked his eyes, thinking of the records about Ji in modern history, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

Yu Ji is the sorcerer killed by Sun Ce in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Later generations referred to him, Zuo Ci and Nanhua as the Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty.

He was originally from Langya, and later went to Jiangdong to give lectures. The doctrine he taught was exactly another name for Taiping Yaoshu, "Taiping Qingdao Ling"!
There are two versions of him in later generations.

One view is that he is one of the authors of Taiping Yaoshu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the Taiping technique.

The second view is that he is the reincarnation of Zhang Jue after he faked his death.

Because the time when Yu Ji went to Jiangdong to give lectures happened to be shortly after Zhang Jue's death.

Moreover, the two men were of similar age, and their teaching and missionary methods were exactly the same.

They all use talismans and water to bribe believers.

Therefore, if we assume that Zhang Jue saw that the situation of the Yellow Turbans was not good and faked his death to escape, then this period of time would have been just the right time for him to go to Jiangdong, change his identity, and start a second career.

Of course, not many people believe the second statement, which is a piece of unofficial history.

However, now Zhang Ning has obviously provided him with a third possibility.

It was Yu Ji who snatched away two volumes of Taiping Yaoshu when Zhang Jue was seriously ill. Then, in order to practice Taiping Yaoshu, he went to Jiangdong to lecture or preach.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go to Jiangdong in the future." Ji Qiu said to himself.

Of course, this will definitely happen a long time later.

At present, not only can I not go to Jiangdong to find Yu Ji, but I also have to be careful to hide my identity and prevent Yu Ji from coming to me.

Yu Ji was a master who had escaped Zhang Jiao's clutches unscathed, and he was no ordinary opponent. Ji Qiu didn't think he could handle Yu Ji at the moment. However, even if he eliminated Yu Ji's threat, he still needed to hide his identity.

The identity of the next generation Yellow Turban leader is not a completely beneficial or harmless one.

Especially now that the Han court and the aristocratic families still hold the upper hand, and the aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family are eyeing him.

Once this identity is exposed, I am afraid I will be attacked by everyone immediately.

By then, I’m afraid even Liu Hong won’t be able to protect him!

Ji Qiu thought about it, gave Zhang Ning a sleep command, then withdrew the secret technique of confusing his mind and released his control over Zhang Ning.

So Zhang Ning closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

But this time she didn't sleep for too long. She woke up again after only half an hour.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten about being controlled by Ji Qiu just now, and just thought it was a dream.

"Who are you? You saved me? Thank you so much!"

Zhang Ning stood up from the ground with difficulty. He first looked at the bandages wrapped around his body, then looked at the corpses of the elite Black Mountain Army soldiers lying on the ground around him, and finally turned his gaze to Ji Qiu.

The last memory in her mind was fainting under this big tree while being chased by the Black Mountain Army.

If nothing unexpected happens, she is very likely to die.

If he is lucky enough not to die, he will definitely fall into the hands of the Montenegrin Army, and that would be a life worse than death!
But the current situation is that an almost impossible accident has obviously occurred.

She was rescued, but the Black Mountain soldiers who were chasing him were killed.

It was a stroke of luck that she escaped from the Black Mountain Army alive!

Ji Qiu raised the Taiping Essential Technique in his hand and chuckled, "My name is Ji Qiu. It was indeed me who killed those Black Mountain soldiers, and it was indeed me who saved you. But you don't need to thank me, because I have already received my reward."

"You took the Taiping Essential Technique? It's useless. The cultivation requirements of the Taiping Essential Technique are extremely harsh. It is impossible for those who are not destined to practice it."

Zhang Ning saw the Taiping Technique in Ji Qiu's hand, but she didn't care.

No one knew better than her how difficult it was to practice the Taiping Yaoshu.

His father had hundreds of disciples back then, but none of them could practice the Tianping technique.

Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Army would not have been wiped out so quickly after Zhang Jue's death.

She has been wandering around for many years, and her main purpose is to find the person destined to practice the Taiping Art.

But there has been no result so far.

If she had not considered that if the Taiping Yaoshu was announced to the world like the Xiping Stone Classics, it would definitely be banned by the imperial court and the aristocratic families, she would have made the Taiping Yaoshu public long ago.

So she didn't mind Ji Qiu taking away the Taiping Technique.

Because if Ji Qiu is unable to practice the Taiping Essential Technique, then the Taiping Essential Technique will be meaningless to him.

If Ji Qiu could practice the Taiping Essential Technique, then even if Ji Qiu didn't want it, she would offer it to him with both hands!
Ji Qiu said slowly, "Is it impossible to practice? But I seem to have already mastered it!"

"Already mastered it? That's impossible! Master Ji, please don't lie to me."

Zhang Ning shook his head, obviously not believing this at all.

Not to mention that the talent required to practice the Taiping Art is extremely rare, even if Ji Qiu really meets the requirements of the art, it would be impossible for him to master it so quickly!
But Ji Qiu had saved her after all, and she didn't want to laugh at him, so she just stretched out her hand and said, "Master Ji, you have already read the Taiping Yaoshu and must have memorized all its contents. So this scroll is probably useless to you.

Then please return it to me. It is a relic left by my father and is very important to me!"

"I have no problem returning the Taiping technique to you, but I didn't lie to you. I have indeed mastered the secret technique of summoning thunder!"

Ji Qiu threw the scroll of Taiping Yaoshu to Zhang Ning, then pointed to the sky.

In an instant, the originally calm sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

The snow-white clouds began to roll and gather wildly, as if they were caught in a terrible storm.

The clouds squeezed and collided with each other, gradually turning from white to dark blue, like a huge inky curtain, pressing heavily on the earth, making it hard to breathe.

In the clouds, lightning flickered and moved like silver snakes, and a faint roar could be heard, coming from far away and getting louder and louder, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

The roar made people's eardrums hurt and the earth trembled slightly.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket tore through the clouds and swooped down with the momentum of destroying the world.

Wherever it passed, the air was instantly ionized, making a "sizzling" sound and leaving a striking azure trail.

The lightning struck directly at a towering tree.

There was a loud cracking sound, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The big tree had no time to resist and was hit head-on by the thunder.

The thick tree trunk was split in two in an instant, the broken part was charred black, thick smoke was billowing, and countless wood chips were flying everywhere.

Under the powerful impact, the branches and leaves broke away from the trunk and flew all over the sky, like a grand yet tragic funeral.

Zhang Ning was completely dumbfounded, standing there blankly. The scroll of Taiping Yaoshu in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, and she fell to her knees with a thud.
