Chapter 378: Sitting on the river and watching the distant view
The mist is misty and the cranes are flying.
There are flying boats flying among the layers of overhanging peaks.
Chen Cuo arrived in the clouds and happened to see Dao Yinzi who had just returned from Kunlun. Both master and disciple smiled and saluted each other.
Chen Cuo returned to Taihua Mountain, practiced meditation, and never went out again. All worldly things were left behind.
But just a few days later, chaos broke out in Huainan.
As soon as the news spread, the State of Qi heard the news and immediately sent a troop of troops south to regain the land of Huainan. The State of Chen also responded immediately and invited Wu Mingche, who had been disarmed and returned to his fields, to come out again and let him lead a troop of troops to go north.
support!
But neither of the two countries expected that the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already ambushed a troop of troops on the upper reaches of the Huai River. They actually attacked midway. They first defeated Wu Mingche, occupied several large cities in Huainan, and then forced the Qi troops to retreat.
The land of Huainan is truly swallowed!
At the same time, the Dao of Creation, who was unwilling to fail, also secretly counterattacked, and among those who took action this time, there were many monks who had returned to their true nature, and without Chen Cuo in charge, Huainan could not resist it at all.
In just a few days, the land of Huainan was sacrificed by the Tao of Creation using special techniques, and Chen Cuo lost his authority over this place.
Not long after, the bloodline was cut off, which was when the Chen Guo clan was exterminated.
Chen Cuo sighed, got rid of distracting thoughts, and concentrated on practicing.
Unexpectedly, three years later, the situation suddenly changed, and suddenly a group of troops broke through the restrictions in the secret realm and directly entered to kill the generals!
These soldiers and horses are obviously dressed in ordinary clothes, but from the general to the soldiers, with just a few movements, they can break through the extraordinary and destroy the mysterious magic. After setting up the big formation, their energy and blood are like rainbows. Not only can they break through the Taihua formation, they can also break through the Taihua formation.
Even many magic weapons can be directly defaced!
So before Chen Cuo could react, his fellow senior brothers and sisters had already fallen, and even his uncle Yan Yinzi was captured alive. Finally, his master Dao Yinzi struggled to ascend and made a desperate move.
Force those soldiers back!
But even so, at the last moment, Dao Yinzi was also seriously injured. When he ascended, his momentum declined and his whole body was ominous!
The entire Taihua Secret Realm was also destroyed in this battle. Chen Cuo's foundation was shaken and he had to flee. However, because he was the only one left in the entire Taihua lineage, he also carried the fate of the sect's decline.
Old wounds are hard to heal, new wounds keep coming, the dream of immortality is shattered, and in less than a hundred years, he died in Lingnan
"call……"
Taking a long breath, Chen Cuo's thoughts slowly returned, and the scene in front of him slowly dissipated.
His mind was focused on the broken stream.
"For the first tributary, I was the general of Chen State and led the army to fight. As a result, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The master of Taihua Mountain passed away and his uncle died in the battle. Only four senior brothers escaped, but they were also seriously injured and injured their longevity.
The foundation, as for myself, is also the death of the body and the disappearance of the Tao, it can be said to be in vain."
Chen Cuo shook his head slightly.
"And this second tributary is that I gave up everything else, returned to the sect, and concentrated on cultivating. The result is still the destruction of the country, the destruction of the family, the disaster of the sect, and leaving with regrets. It is also not a good result."
The results of two consecutive tributaries were not satisfactory, so we should not take them seriously.
"The biggest doubt here is why those seemingly ordinary soldiers can suddenly burst out with such fighting power. They are invincible. Taihua's method is like paper in front of them!"
Thinking like this, his eyes swept across the many tributaries, directly skipping a few that were slender but cut off by the middle road.
"Judging from the previous situation, these short and broken ones should mean that I am dead. Although the long river is a projection of the long river of history, it exists with me as the carrier. If I am not here, there will naturally be no way to continue. Other than that,
In addition, due to limited mental and physical strength, we cannot explore for too long. At most, we can explore along the current for about a hundred years. It is not possible to explore anytime and anywhere..."
His senses shrouded the dam beneath him.
"Only by standing in one place can we look forward to the future! The current node revolves around whether or not to stay in Huai and my attitude towards Chen Guo, and then extends to different endings. It's a pity. If you can explore it at will,
Being able to predict in advance before doing anything in the future is like having extra insurance, but it’s not bad now..."
Thinking like this, he glanced around.
"In this case, you should choose those that are longer..."
Looking at it, he couldn't help but frown.
We can see that among the thirteen most obvious tributaries, half flow into the distance, and the rest all have ends.
"From this point of view, I am destined to have a lot of bad luck. I still need to explore a few more paths. However, the second path just now has already exhausted my energy. I have to meditate for two days to recuperate my energy.
, can we continue to explore.”
During this retreat, he actually found that the speed of his mental recovery had significantly improved.
"I didn't expect that exploring the tributaries of the Yangtze River, which consumes the mind and soul, can also have the effect of refining the mind!"
With this kind of effect, he did not spend two days. After a day and a half, he replenished his mind, only to find that there was an extra shadow in the bright moon in his heart.
The feeling came down, and Chen Cuo vaguely realized it.
"Based on one node, there is a limit to the number of times we can explore future tributaries? Once the bright moon is completely covered, we are no longer allowed to explore? Anyway, we have to figure it out in order to summarize the rules..."
Thinking like this, he quickly restrained his thoughts and evolved into the river again.
This time, Chen Cuo chose a long, slender and winding tributary. Although the water was thin and intermittent, it flowed far away.
He slowly closed his eyes, but after a few breaths, he suddenly opened them!
In those eyes, the purple energy was surging, and the aura was majestic. The scene of the tributaries just now still had many residual charms left. However, as Chen Cuo exhaled a long breath, the purple energy in the eyes dissipated and returned to normal again.
color.
Immediately, Chen Cuo lost his smile.
"The premise of this third tributary is that I directly overthrow the Chen Dynasty, ascend the throne as emperor, use the entire Chen Kingdom as the foundation, derive the method of immortal pilgrimage, directly interfere with the common people, participate in the world's struggle, and perfect myself by unifying the world
As a result, we broke up with our master and became strangers to each other..."
He recalled the scene he had just seen. Although it was a deduction, it was so lifelike that it shocked people's hearts.
Thinking of getting the news at last, the sect was destroyed, the master was enthroned, the uncle was missing, many brothers and sisters died in the battle, only Nan Mingzi was still alive. Although he was the leader of Taihua, his cultivation was completely destroyed, and the future was
decided.
"Not only that, because I was too deeply involved in mundane things, I was contaminated with countless karmic sins and entangled myself layer by layer. After the heavenly tribulation came, although I resisted it with the imperial dragon's form, my vitality was severely damaged, and the underworld seized the opportunity.
In the end, he was turned into a puppet and became the tool of the underworld to control the world and attack the heaven! Although the Chen family's bloodline flourished because of this, it was completely reduced to someone else's plaything..."
Thinking of the end, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
"Although this road is not cut off, life is worse than death. It is just lingering, which is not advisable!"
Suddenly, he looked solemn.
"In addition, during the conquest of the world, Mount Tai suddenly became filled with fog, swallowing up hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even the underworld had to retreat. I don't know where it came from..."
As he thought about it, Chen Cuo laughed again.
"The results of both explorations were so bleak, but with so many tributaries, there should be something good. If not, you should create one yourself!"
The thought fell, but Chen Cuo did not hesitate. He fixed his eyes on the fourth tributary and gathered his attention again.
This time, he tasted a bit of detachment and transparency, and it was immediately clear to him.
"Sure enough, the more you investigate, the clearer you become about the mystery..."
After staying for a day, Chen Cuo was full of energy. He glanced into the long river and broke through the layers of fog. At the first glance, he saw himself sitting in the sky. With a wave of his hand, Chen Guo was stationed in the south. With another wave of his hand, the clouds and fog covered Taihua.
Silence
at the same time.
There is a troop of soldiers and horses stationed on the upper reaches of the Huai River and on the edge of the Huai River.
The general at the head is mighty and majestic, it is Liang Shiyan, the general of the Zhou Kingdom!
He was listening to his scouts' report on the situation in Huainan. He looked happy and couldn't help but ask: "You mean, Chen Fangtai gave the order to seize the land of nobles and wealthy families?"
"Yes, I still have letters of distress from the Zhang family, the Chen family, and the Lu family. They said that as soon as the general leads his troops, they will open the door to greet them immediately!"
"Hahaha!" Liang Shiyan laughed loudly, "This Chen Fangtai is indeed a loser! He is digging his own grave! This is God-given credit to someone!"
Several generals from nearby came up to ask for a battle, and they all acted as vanguards.
"No rush, no rush!" Liang Shiyan waved his hand, "Now that we have passed, we can only watch for a few sparks, wait a little longer, wait until the fire burns brighter, and then go! That is to save the people from fire and water, and we will definitely win in the first battle!"
