Chapter 312: The Temptation From Emperor Xianlong (Super Chapter of Nearly 20,000 Words)
Close, close.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps.
When the entire cavalry attacked the Anxi Army's position, Ocampos' heart was in his throat.
He has never led a charge personally.
Although General Oscar was with him at this moment, Ocampos still felt very nervous.
But when the cavalry team actually hit the Anxi Army's position, the nervous feeling in his heart disappeared.
Because at this moment his mind was blank.
Boom!
With the huge noise, the entire cavalry seemed to have hit a wall, and for a moment they were thrown off their backs.
The neighing of horses and the wailing and painful cries of people are intertwined, making people feel as if they are in the Asura Hell.
Although the cavalry team of the Fire Wheel Kingdom was fully armed and armored, facing the iron-walled Anxi Army, they were still like a mouse seeing a cat and had no temper at all.
The Anxi Army is indeed the army that knows how to target cavalry best. The formation they put up makes it impossible for the Fire Wheel Cavalry to escape.
What was in front of them was a wall, and it was a wall of steel.
The most important thing in a cavalry charge is the formation. Once the formation is broken up, it is almost impossible to gather them again.
At this moment, the formation of the Fire Wheel Nation's cavalry was not only dispersed, but also dispersed completely and in a complete mess, just like a goddess scattering flowers.
At this moment, Oscar also fell off his horse and rolled a few times in a daze.
What's even more tragic is that his head was trampled hard by the frightened horse, and it was trampled into pulp.
Ocampos had the misfortune to witness all this.
This hapless king was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth.
He had never seen a person's head being trampled to pulp at such a close distance.
This feeling of bloody flesh is really disgusting.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Ocampos didn't understand why the situation was completely different from what he expected.
Why did the good things become like this?
But obviously the Anxi Army did not leave him more time to react, and brave soldiers stepped forward and pinched Ocampos.
Because the golden armor he wore was so eye-catching, the soldiers of the Anxi Army were able to conclude that this man was Ocampos without any analysis.
At this moment, Ocampos did not resist. He was completely stupid and at a loss.
He allowed the soldiers of the Anxi Army to pick him up and then brought him to his old rival Liu Lin.
Liu Lin was sitting on his horse looking down at Ocampos with disdain in his eyes.
"How dare you charge and break through? With just these cavalry of yours, you want to rush into the formation of our Anxi army? You are overestimating your capabilities, right?"
"me"
Ocampos was choked by words for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Alas, pitifulness is even more hateful. There is a saying among us Central Plains people that pitiable people must be hateful. So you are not worthy of pity. Everything you are experiencing now is your own fault. There will be consequences.
Because, your cause sowed bitter fruits. So you got everything you have now."
Liu Lin gave Ocampos a chance.
If Ocampos had just chosen to walk out of the palace to plead guilty and surrender with a group of Fire Wheel soldiers, maybe Liu Lin would have given him a lighter sentence.
But Ocampos didn't.
He chose to fight to the end and fight to the end against the powerful Anxi Army.
This is certainly not a wise move.
With the strength of Ocampos and the strength of the Fire Wheel Nation's cavalry, this is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.
But he still chose to do it.
Now that you have made this choice, you must pay the price for this choice.
No matter which angle you consider, it is impossible for Liu Lin to keep Ocampos any longer.
"Behead him and hang his head on the top of the city for public display."
Liu Linyun said calmly, as if he was slaughtering chickens and dogs.
"Spare your life, spare your life. Please forgive me, the Protector, and just treat me like a fart and let it go."
Once he heard that Liu Lin was going to kill him, Ocampos woke up from a dream.
He screamed loudly and begged for mercy, but Liu Lin's soldiers didn't care. They suppressed him to the ground, and one of them pulled out a bright steel knife and slashed at his neck.
But with a popping sound, Ocampos' head was chopped off.
Blood flew out, and his head rolled away like a ball.
Liu Lin picked up the beheaded head and played with it for a while, but suddenly felt bored.
"Take it and hang it on the city wall to warn everyone."
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
Next to the ink-washing pool, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, dressed as a mountain figure, started walking.
"It's so similar. Third senior brother, I think you are at least eighty-nine points similar to the mountain leader now."
Zhao Xun praised him from the side.
He sincerely thinks so.
The Sixth Senior Brother's craftsmanship is really exquisite, and when he looks like this, he looks very much like Shan Zhang.
The most important thing is that the third senior brother's aloof temperament also matches well with Shan Chang's.
If it were an ordinary person, the appearance would probably be imitable, but the temperament would be seen through at a glance.
As expected of the person in the academy who has the most mountain-like temperament, the third senior brother really can't find fault in this aspect.
"Junior brother, I still feel a little unsteady. This forced fusion of zhenqi will put me under tremendous pressure even for just a moment. Think about it, what will happen if I can't support it and my body explodes?
good?"
Long Qingquan still felt a little uneasy, spread his hands and complained.
In fact, the worries of the third senior brother are not unreasonable.
Many practitioners of the Demon Sect forcibly absorbed the energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, and improved their cultivation in a short period of time.
But because the space in their bodies cannot accommodate so much vitality, they will eventually burst and die.
The problems faced by Long Qingquan today are actually very similar.
Of course, the energy he absorbed was not that much, but it should not be underestimated.
After all, if you have to forcibly transform a second-grade person into a super-grade person in a short period of time, it’s really two questions whether you can handle it.
"Let's give it a try. We have no other choice. But Third Brother, I don't think you need to worry too much. The situation you imagined won't happen. Your foundation is so solid, even the mountain commander can't
I praised it personally."
Zhao Xun reassured the third senior brother: "Besides, if you really can't bear it, you can force the Qi out of your body. Although the Qi forced out is wasted, it is still better than your body exploding."
The meaning of Zhao Xun's words is very obvious. He knows his own body well.
It is impossible for a living person to suffocate to death.
If Long Qingquan couldn't hold it back, he would just force out his true energy. He wouldn't be able to resist just to save face.
If this is the case, then no one can blame it.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. If I can't bear it anymore, I'll just force the excess Qi out of my body."
"By the way, junior brother, how is the mountain commander's recovery now?"
No one is allowed to disturb Shanzhang when he is in retreat, but only Zhao Xun can enter.
Of course, Zhao Xun just sent a meal to the mountain leader, and it was impossible to say any more unnecessary words.
"I think Shan Zhang is in good condition, at least that's what it looks like to me."
Zhao Xun said truthfully: "But I can only see the surface. As for the mountain chief's current health, I don't know."
It is impossible for Zhao Xun to talk nonsense.
"There is a saying that with Shan Chang's state, even if he is so seriously injured, as long as he is given time to recover, he will be able to return to his original state in a short time. The time he gave himself is one month, but I
I think it may not take that long. It should be about half a month or twenty days. The reason why the mountain chief wants to say a longer time is to leave a margin, and secondly to make us nervous and take more time.
He shares a little bit."
Zhao Xun's analysis can be said to be profound.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded frequently after hearing this: "It seems to be true. However, I am still a little unsure. If a powerful enemy really comes to attack, can we really resist it?"
"When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover up the soil. Don't be afraid, Third Brother, we will just go with them. Besides, this academy is our home field. Anyone from other cultivation sects will have their magic power greatly reduced when they come here, right?"
"That's indeed the truth."
After listening to Zhao Xun's words, Long Qingquan felt a little more at ease.
"When I heard what you said, junior brother, I felt a lot more at ease. Whatever you don't agree with, do whatever you want. This is the tradition of our academy. Whoever has the strongest fist is the right one. Besides, the mountain leader was only injured, and he himself was also injured.
He's in the academy. If he senses danger, he will definitely come to the rescue in time."
"Yes, rescuing a scene is like putting out a fire. If the mountain leader senses danger, he will definitely take action in time. There is no way he can just watch us apprentices suffer."
Zhao Xun is convinced of this.
Who is that person, Shanzhang?
That's a spiritual person.
Even though he was besieged by the enemy early and was seriously injured, the mountain chief still maintained a super-level state.
This is not easy.
You must know that there are only a dozen or so extraordinary practitioners in this world.
The fact that Shanchang is still at the highest level after his realm plummeted is enough to prove how terrifying his previous realm was.
"Junior brother, there is one more thing I need to tell you in advance."
Long Qingquan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "If there is really any danger, go alone and leave us alone."
"How can this be done!"
Zhao Xun flatly refused when he heard this: "We are fellow disciples and a family. How could I abandon my family? Besides, the mountain chief extended a helping hand when I was in the most critical moment. If it hadn't been for the mountain chief's intervention, our family would still be here today."
I don’t know what it was like to be persecuted by that dog emperor, Emperor Xianlong. Now that the mountain leader is in trouble and the academy is in trouble, how can I be a deserter."
Zhao Xun's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Long Qingquan was also very moved after hearing this.
He nodded and said: "Okay, he is indeed the junior brother I know. With your words, I feel relieved."
"Of course, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't accomplish."
"Yes, brothers working together can be as powerful as metal. Although we are not real brothers, we are better than real brothers. As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do!"
Zhao Xun said decisively.
"This world is very different from our world."
The dark wizard Augustine looked at the vast prairie and said in confusion.
"Yes, the water and grass here are so rich. Where we are there is only wasteland."
"The end of the wasteland is the sea, and the end of the sea is darkness."
"Yes, there is such a vibrant place here."
Francis also said with emotion: "If we had known that this world was so beautiful and colorful, we should have opened the door of darkness earlier."
"Haha, it's like you can open the door to darkness if you want to."
Rodriguez snorted and said disdainfully: "The opening of the Dark Portal has its own destiny, and it is not something you and I can decide. If you and I could decide when the Dark Portal will open, why has it taken so long?
No one has ever witnessed this door opening?"
"."
Francis, who was slapped in the face, did not fight back for a moment.
Because he knew that Rodriguez was actually right.
The Dark Portal is very mysterious. Generally speaking, it will only open when the time is right.
And it takes people from both worlds to sense this and open the Dark Door at the right time at the same time, and then penetrate the nodule.
If there is a problem on either side, even a small problem cannot ultimately open the door to darkness.
"Don't talk nonsense. Now that we are here, we naturally need to complete the expansion of the Dark Portal and bring the creatures from our world to this world."
Seeing the two people arguing, Augustine interrupted.
"No, we still have one very important thing to do before that."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "We are going to kill someone now."
"who is it?"
Everyone asked almost in unison.
"This man is the most powerful practitioner in the world. He is the mountain chief of Haoran Academy and a Confucian sage in the world."
When the High Priest of the Demon Sect mentioned the mountain chief, there was still a hint of fear in his words.
"This man's strength is unfathomable. Although we defeated him last time with more and less, we still let him run away. If I am not mistaken, he should have escaped to this world by now. Most likely he has returned.
He went to the academy to recover from his injuries. We cannot give him a chance to recover from his injuries. If we let him recover from his injuries, it would be difficult for us to kill him when we are on guard."
The high priest of the Demon Sect has a psychological shadow on the mountain chief.
Because he has been defeated by the mountain chief many times.
So whenever he gets a chance, he will try his best to kill the mountain leader.
Only by getting rid of the mountain leader can he have a chance to become the most powerful practitioner in the world.
It feels very uncomfortable to be the second best person in the world all the time. This is why the High Priest of the Demon Sect did not compete with Wei Wuji, the Sword Saint of Dongyue, for the second place in the world.
He would rather Wei Wuji be the second one and bear the pressure.
You can't be first, and you won't get anything by being second.
"Where is this mountain leader now?"
"In the Zhongnan Mountains on the outskirts of Chang'an City, Haoran Academy is built in the mountains. He should be here."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew the mountain chief very well. He knew that for an extremely confident person like the mountain chief, if he encountered danger, the most likely way would be to hide himself in the most familiar place.
The most familiar place to the mountain leader is Haoran Academy deep in Zhongnan Mountain.
Haoran Academy is a good place. It is beautiful and has absorbed too much local aura.
So much so that not only the practitioners in Haoran Academy, but also every plant and tree there has a spiritual energy.
With the mountain chief's level of cultivation, even though he was seriously injured after this battle, as long as he cultivates for some time, he will definitely be able to return to the top.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect knows very well that time is the most critical to them right now.
They must seize the time firmly to have a chance of winning.
And if we don't seize this opportunity and let the mountain chief calm down, everything will be over.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, according to what you said, can't we just go directly to this place called Zhongnan Mountain?"
Augustine was becoming familiar with the logic and policies of people in this world.
In his opinion, people in this world are more cautious, unlike people in their world who completely follow their hearts.
There are pros and cons to this, of course.
The advantage is that the success rate can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage is that sometimes opportunities just slip away from your hands.
"Well, it is indeed."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect nodded and said: "With our current strength, if we want to invade Zhongnan Mountain, it could not be easier to invade Haoran Academy. The mountain leader was seriously injured, and it is hard to say whether his current cultivation level is superior. Even if he is still
There is nothing to be afraid of if you are in the realm of a great master. Since we can defeat him once, we can defeat him a second time. The mountain leader is already defeated by us, so naturally he cannot be proud."
The high priest of the Demon Sect was in high spirits when he said these words.
No wonder.
For him, this was the first time he had defeated Shan Chang in so many years.
The power of the mountain chief left a great psychological shadow on him. For a long time, the high priest of the Demon Sect could not face the mountain chief.
Because in his opinion, Shan Chang is undoubtedly the strongest person in the world, so many people want to challenge him.
Because for these junior martial arts students, challenging the mountain leader is a sure-win thing.
If they can win the challenge, they can soar into the sky.
Even if they lose the challenge, no one will criticize them harshly.
Because people will only think that it is reasonable for them to lose.
To be able to lose to a super master, the best person in the world, would be a good story to spread.
Of course, those who challenge the mountain leader are not only younger generations, but also practitioners who have been famous for a long time.
The most famous among them is Wei Wuji, the swordsman of Dongyue.
Wei Wuji is known as the second best in the world because he is afraid of the mountain leader.
Wei Wuji had always avoided fighting because he was afraid that losing to the mountain chief would affect his reputation.
In Wei Wuji's view, the mountain leader is a big mountain, and he is the person who is pressed under the mountain.
As long as the mountain lasts for a day, he will never be able to succeed.
But Wei Wuji still chose to challenge the mountain chief. The reason is very simple. If he wants to kill Emperor Xianlong, he must cross this threshold no matter what.
It turned out that he was right.
In the end, the mountain chief chose to take action after he entered the palace.
The mountain chief may not have much affection for Emperor Xianlong, but Emperor Xianlong represents Zhengshuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all.
If his head was easily cut off by the East Vietnamese, it would be unjustifiable anyway.
Therefore, rather than saying that Wei Wuji took the initiative to challenge the mountain leader, it should actually be said that he was passively fighting against him.
At that time, Wei Wuji had no choice.
If he didn't choose to fight, the mountain chief would send him out of Chang'an without hesitation.
It was under such an environment that Wei Wuji was forced to fight the mountain chief.
After a fierce battle between the two sides, Wei Wuji was seriously injured and fled in a panic.
It can only be said that Wei Wuji would never dare to cause trouble to the mountain chief again after this battle.
Because he knew very well that the gap between him and the mountain leader was really as huge as a mountain peak and a small mound.
He, the second best person in the world, is not worthy of carrying shoes for the best person in the world.
Sometimes it is important for people to be self-aware and know that they are not opponents, so the best strategy is not to fight.
If done blindly, the consequences can be very serious.
Of course, the High Priest of the Demon Sect believed that his strength was higher than that of the Eastern Yue Sword Saint Wei Wuji.
The reason why he didn't fight was not that he felt he was not as powerful as Wei Wuji, but that he didn't bother to compare.
There is some interest in competing to be the best in the world, but there is really no pursuit in competing for the second place in the world.
Therefore, the High Priest of the Demon Sect would rather Wei Wuji be the first person, while he hides in the dark and quietly makes a fortune.
Wei Wuji showed such strength, but was beaten to the point of panic by the mountain chief. Since then, his status in the world has plummeted.
However, the High Priest of the Demon Sect was able to retain a certain reputation even after losing to the Mountain Chief, and the difference is self-evident.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew very well that this was because he made the right decision.
Sometimes even top practitioners need to make constant choices.
Only by making the right choice at the right time will you achieve better development.
"Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain now!"
Augustine said solemnly: "This time, no matter what, we must completely get rid of the mountain chief."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was overjoyed when he saw this, and said harmoniously: "There is an old saying in our world, which is that to cut the grass, you must remove the roots. It means that after the grass is cut off, its roots will continue to grow, and sooner or later it will sprout. In order to prevent it from continuing
The best way to grow it is to remove it by the roots."
"Um?"
Augustine obviously understood the implication of the words of the High Priest of the Demon Sect. He stroked his beard and said leisurely: "So, you are asking us to help you get rid of everyone related to the mountain chief?"
"If it is possible, it would be great."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect nodded slightly and said, "The chief of the mountain single-handedly founded Haoran Academy and is regarded as a Confucian sage by scholars all over the world. Do you know what this means?"
"It's just because he likes to be a teacher for others. Everyone respects him, right?"
"good!"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect agreed.
"As a teacher, Shanzhang is not limited to the title of a Confucian sage in the world. He wants to become an unprecedented Confucian sage. He hopes that from now on, when scholars mention Confucian sages, they will only think of him and not others.
Confucian sages who already existed."
After the High Priest of the Demon Sect said this, the dark wizards present were all stunned and stunned.
This person is too conceited.
Surpassing all Confucian sages?
"So he recruited a lot of disciples. Among them were seventy-two disciples who were inside the house, and there were also three thousand disciples who were outside the house. These are his favorite disciples, and we will eradicate them all this time."
"The mountain leader has accepted so many disciples?"
Francis was the first to ask: "There are so many people with thousands of mouths, and it costs a lot just to eat and drink every day. Does the mountain chief's family have mountains of gold and silver?"
The high priest of the Demon Sect coughed and said: "I don't know if the mountain chief has a mine in his home, but I know that he is really not short of money. Think about it, he is regarded as a Confucian saint by scholars all over the world, so every year just these scholars
The incense money sent to him must be a lot of money. The mountain leader must not be short of money. Of course, among the thousands of people, only the seventy-two disciples who are in-house disciples have full accommodation and food. The remaining three thousand out-house disciples should be
You bring your own dry food.”
"I see."
After listening to the explanation from the High Priest of the Demon Sect, Augustine finally understood the meaning.
"If this is the case, I can probably understand it. This mountain leader seems to be a ruthless character, and he knows how to recruit disciples to enhance his influence. So we must not take it lightly this time when we go to Zhongnan Mountain. If we are a little careless,
, it is very likely that the mountain chief will seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory."
Augustine is the leader of a group of dark wizards. He is very cautious in doing things and tries to avoid accidents caused by carelessness and arrogance.
"Indeed, there are some quite powerful disciples among the mountain chief's disciples, and some of them have already reached the threshold of the first level. There is no problem in treating them as first-level practitioners."
Although there is a world of difference between first-grade and super-grade, they are already very powerful existences.
There are only a dozen or so super masters in the world, but there are dozens of first-level practitioners.
Approximately 30% of these dozens of people will hopefully have a glimpse of the Heavenly Gate in the future and be able to join the ranks of super masters.
It is said that there are three people in the academy.
"Looking at it this way, we still have to go together as a group, and we must not be separated by them and take advantage of them."
Sometimes the consequences of carelessness can be fatal.
Although the realm of the black wizard group is basically super level, and the super level peak of the Demon Sect High Priest occupies an absolute advantage, there is still the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.
"Well, we must not be careless. Only by truly getting rid of the mountain chief and the disciples of Haoran Academy can we truly become invincible in the world."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"As long as we kill these guys, we can lead the creatures from the Ellen Lore continent to this world without any scruples. The God of Darkness should not only come to one world, but should shine on the earth in all worlds."
"In the name of the God of Darkness, we will definitely eradicate all heretics."
"In the name of the God of Darkness, we will uproot all heretics."
"In the name of the God of Heian, we swear that we will turn the world into complete darkness."
"Third Senior Brother, you are looking more and more like Shan Chang now. Not only are you similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit."
Zhao Xun is very satisfied with the performance of his third senior brother Long Qingquan these days.
The third senior brother is really a representative of hard work and talent.
"Well, I know it well, little junior brother. You see, I often accompany the commander, and it's not for nothing. I carefully observe every subtle movement of the commander to ensure that I can collect all useful information.
.Maybe it won’t be used at that time, but it will be used one day. Doesn’t this make me wait?”
Third senior brother Long Qingquan raised his neck proudly and said.
"But Third Brother, if the High Priest of the Demon Sect and the group of dark wizards really attack, is there a limit to what we can do? Can we really delay Shan Chang's condition until he recovers?"
"Well"
Long Qingquan scratched his head when he heard this.
"Junior brother, haven't we discussed this issue before? The old man's body is different from that of ordinary people. He said that he would rest for half a month, but he would probably be fine in less than ten days. The reason why he didn't dare
I talk too much because I'm afraid I won't be able to show off if I accidentally do it. But based on my understanding of the mountain leader, it will definitely not last long."
After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Long Qingquan continued: "So what we have to do is to hold it off as long as possible. As long as we can, hold it off until our last bit of strength is gone. In this way, no matter what the outcome is, we can still have a clear conscience.
Yes. Of course, I believe the result will be good."
"Um"
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "But Third Senior Brother, there is another point that you have considered. That is, what if the high priest of the Demon Sect and the dark wizards noticed something strange from the beginning and were not fooled? What if he didn't accept it?
Our move went around directly, so what should we do?"
"This is impossible!"
Long Qingquan said categorically: "Are you doubting your sixth senior brother's level of disguise, or your doubts about my acting talent? The two of us are a perfect match, so they must be perfect. How can ordinary people see the flaws?"
Seeing how excited the third senior brother was, Zhao Xun quickly waved his hand and said: "Third senior brother, I am not doubting the skills of you and the sixth senior brother. What I mean is, if, if they really notice something, do we have any alternative plan?"
?The wise way is to be prepared, and there is nothing wrong with us being prepared with both hands."
"That's true."
Seeing Zhao Xun's explanation, Long Qingquan calmed down a little.
"As for the alternative, it's Yuan Tiangang of course. But it's not easy to convince him to take action. Junior brother, it depends on you."
Good guy.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother was really an expert, and with just one move he kicked the ball to Zhao Xun's side.
Of course, Zhao Xu had no intention of evading responsibility.
But he felt that this time Yuan Tiangang would at most not help each other, and it would be difficult for him to join forces with the mountain leader like last time.
The reason why Yuan Tiangang joined forces with the mountain chief last time was that the mountain chief was indeed invincible at the time.
Yuan Tiangang has no reason to go against a practitioner who is at his peak at this time.
Furthermore, the positions of the mountain chief and Yuan Tiangang were basically the same at that time.
But this time it's a little different.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect and the Black Wizard are no longer targeting Chang'an and Shou Dazhou, but simply the Chief of the Mountain and Haoran Academy.
If Shan Chang and Haoran Academy can be eliminated with the help of others, the status of Yuan Tiangang and Daomen will undoubtedly rise further.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have to take the blame and take responsibility. It can be said that he is making steady profits without losing money.
This kind of good thing Yuan Tiangang can't come by easily, so naturally he won't let it go easily.
"Well, I can give it a try, but it's hard to say whether it will work. We all hope for a good result, but I can't guarantee the outcome."
Zhao Xun did not dare to tell the truth, but left one alive.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After all, Zhao Xun was also Yuan Tiangang's adopted son. He originally thought that if he asked Yuan Tiangang for help, Yuan Tiangang would consider it.
Who would have thought that Yuan Tiangang would find a reason to practice in seclusion, but he would not let Zhao Xun meet him.
Isn’t this too awesome?
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
Alas, I really misjudged the wrong person.
At first, he thought Yuan Tiangang was also a very trustworthy person. Now it seems that Yuan Tiangang is just trying to steal his luck.
After all, Zhao Xun's fortune at that time was unparalleled, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a popular niche student.
What kind of place is the academy and what kind of person is the mountain chief?
Can the person the mountain chief likes be any worse?
Yuan Tiangang is also very good at calculations. He knows very well that as long as Zhao Xun and Daomen are tied together, he can, to a considerable extent, encourage the mountain chief to maintain a good relationship with Daomen.
However, Yuan Tiangang failed to calculate one thing despite all his calculations, and that was the conflict between the Mountain Chief Society and the black wizards from another world.
And it's one against many.
Although the mountain leader had no fear, he was still defeated by the dark wizard who clearly possessed numbers.
The key is that the high priest of the Demon Sect stabbed the mountain leader without hesitation at this time, which directly caused the mountain chief to be seriously injured.
Under this situation, Yuan Tiangang's mentality also changed.
He must have felt that it was unstable to continue to tie the Taoist sect to the academy, which might lead to the annihilation of the Taoist sect.
So at this time, Yuan Tiangang chose to draw a clear line with the academy as much as possible.
In this way, even if the dark wizards come to attack together in the future, the Taoist sect will be able to clear itself out without getting burned at all.
What a wishful thinking!
After finding out Yuan Tiangang's true thoughts, Zhao Xun was very disappointed!
But what can he do?
This world is made up of interests.
Many human interactions are driven by interests.
Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact.
A person can only constantly adapt to the world without asking the whole world to revolve around you.
Unless you are powerful enough to make the rules of this world.
At least so far no such person exists.
The emperor can't do it, and neither can top practitioners.
If such a person really appears in the future, then this person will be almost equal to a god.
Zhao Xun had no choice but to tell his third senior brother Long Qingquan the news.
Long Qingquan was silent for a while after hearing this.
"Hey, little junior brother, I should have thought of it earlier."
Long Qingquan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, there is nothing unacceptable. At least Yuan Tiangang didn't add insult to injury. Just draw the line when you draw it. Our academy has never relied on others."
Although these words sounded domineering, Zhao Xun could hear a hint of helplessness.
At present, the headmaster is seriously injured and the academy is in decline, so that the strongest person is the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan, the best friend of the second senior sister Liu Yingying.
Yao Yan's strength naturally goes without saying, but the problem is that relying solely on such a first-class player to support the scene will make you feel a little uneasy.
All of them knew very well that the improvised super master would only last for a short period of time.
This is actually an empty city plan.
If we can't scare away all the dark wizards in a short period of time, the consequences will be dire if they notice the clues.
"Third Senior Brother, don't put too much pressure on you. We just need to do our best. Also, I believe that evil will not prevail against good."
Zhao Xun clenched his fists and said with great momentum: "No matter what, I will stick with you until the end."
"Master, have you really decided not to help each other?"
Li Chunfeng frowned and asked with some uncertainty.
Yuan Tiangang was meditating by himself and did not reply for a long time.
After about a stick of incense, Yuan Tiangang finally opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Chunfeng, what has my teacher been telling you? You have to be calm as a person, and don't show your attitude easily, otherwise you will become very passive."
"But."
Li Chunfeng shook his head with some resentment and said: "I always feel that what we did in this matter is a bit unethical. Master, if we do this, we will be stabbed in the back by everyone in the world."
"How can I see it?"
Yuan Tiangang's views are obviously very different from Li Chunfeng's.
He smiled faintly and said: "Do you think my behavior as a teacher is shameful? Or do you think my teacher is very mean? But in fact, I didn't do anything, right? The Taoist ancestors advocated governance by inaction. What does it mean to govern by doing nothing?
Inaction? Inaction means no fighting."
Yuan Tiangang stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back.
"The reason why Taoism has been able to survive since ancient times depends on this lack of contention. There are many sects of cultivation that are at odds with each other because they are fighting for power. The word profit is a sharp knife that kills people. Our Taoist sect governs by doing nothing. It seems that it cannot be on the stage, but in fact it is
It’s great wisdom.”
"Indeed."
Li Chunfeng knew that it would be unwise to argue with his mentor at this time, so he gave in and said, "Teacher, it was my disciple Meng Lang just now."
"It doesn't matter."
Yuan Tiangang laughed and said: "It's a good thing that you have doubts, and it's a good thing that you have doubts. But you have to be clear that as a teacher, you are not only the Great Zhou Jianzheng, but also a leader in the Taoist sect. As a teacher, you have to consider more than just one person.
interests, but the interests of the entire Taoist sect.”
After a pause, Yuan Tiangang sighed: "My master once really thought highly of Zhao Xun. This boy has great luck, and it's for the sake of the only person who can't see through it except the mountain chief. This boy seems to have a fog of his own."
.I tried to clear away the fog several times to see what happened, but I was met with strong backlash, so I didn’t dare to try again.”
Li Chunfeng felt frightened after hearing this.
Of course he knew what Yuan Tiangang meant.
The biggest difference between Taoist practitioners and other practitioners is that Taoist practitioners can have a glimpse of the way of heaven.
What is the way of heaven?
The way of heaven refers to the so-called natural principles.
That is what is called destiny.
Of course, peeping into the sky is a very dangerous behavior. If you don't do it right, you will get burned and cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, for an old magic stick like Yuan Tiangang, he can grasp this speed very well and can move with ease within the scope allowed by the law of heaven.
He only glanced at it, so God did not punish him.
It wasn't until he wanted to see Zhao Xun's future that he realized that there was too much confusion surrounding Zhao Xun.
He couldn't see clearly or thoroughly just by looking at it.
So Yuan Tiangang became greedy and looked at it a few more times.
It was a big mistake to look at him for a few more times. Heaven was so furious that he immediately became furious and punished him.
After Yuan Tiangang suffered a backlash, he had to practice in seclusion for a long time, not because he wanted to find a breakthrough in martial arts, but because he was seriously injured and needed time to heal.
Of course, many people don't know this, including Emperor Xianlong.
Yuan Tiangang has been able to become the Imperial Master and Supervisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years because of his unparalleled strength.
In terms of strength, Yuan Tiangang is even above the old eunuch Zheng Jie.
Therefore, the reason why Emperor Xianlong showed such awe to Yuan Tiangang was essentially because he was afraid of Yuan Tiangang.
Once Emperor Xianlong knew that Yuan Tiangang's cultivation level had plummeted and that he had no useable value, he would most likely kick Yuan Tiangang away without mercy.
That's why Yuan Tiangang is so forbearing and low-key.
In his opinion, people keep a low profile at critical moments not because they are afraid of something, but because they know very well when their strongest period is.
You can naturally be strong when you are in your strong period, but if you are obviously not in your strong period, you still have to pretend to be strong. In fact, it is essentially the same as pretending to be fat by putting on a big face.
Yuan Tiangang understands this very well, so he can bend and stretch. He stands out when he should stand out, and shrinks when he should shrink his head.
Now that he has completely recovered, he is no longer afraid of Emperor Xianlong.
But when it comes to the upcoming war, Yuan Tiangang still believes that remaining neutral is the best choice.
"Zhao Xun is someone I cannot see through as a teacher. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Because there is no one in the world who knows how to peer into the sky better than Wei Shi. Therefore, I even once suspected that Zhao Xun was not from this world at all.
Because only in this way can we explain why there is so much fog on Zhao Xun that the teacher cannot see through it at all."
Yuan Tiangang sighed, and then continued: "Chunfeng, if Allen Lore's people really invade this world in the future, and if the mountain chief loses, our best choice is to form an alliance with him. Only in this way can the Taoist sect be preserved.
"
"What if the mountain chief wins?"
Li Chunfeng asked.
"If the mountain chief wins, it will be another matter."
Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "But I still feel that Master Shan's chance of winning this time is very small. I couldn't hold it back, and took the risk of being backlashed to have a glimpse of the way of heaven. As a result, guess what, I saw the academy's
Destroyed. The entire Haoran Academy and even most of Zhongnan Mountain were razed to the ground. The entire hillside was barren of grass and lifeless at all."
When he said this, Yuan Tiangang's face was filled with deathly silence.
Obviously he didn't want to see this result, but this was what he saw when he took a peek at the way of heaven.
"Chunfeng, when people live in this world, there are many things that we cannot change. What we can do is to do our best as much as possible. As for the next things, let them go with the breeze.
"Gu Feng
After Yuan Tiangang said that, he looked up at the night outside the window.
"Look how beautiful this pitch-black night is. I always think about how lonely it would be if one day there was only day and no night in the world. And what if there was only night and no day? What would it be like?"
Yuan Tiangang muttered: "Perhaps this is the end of the world as mentioned by the Taoist ancestors. What does the end of the world look like?"
Li Chunfeng only felt that his mentor had become very strange at this moment, and the strangeness made him feel a little scary.
But he didn't know exactly what the problem was.
Life in the academy is still very peaceful.
The mountain leader is in seclusion to recuperate, and the third senior brother Long Qingquan is still doing imitation shows.
What Zhao Xun has to do, besides being the audience of his third senior brother, is to practice sparring with the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan every day to ensure that his cultivation level is constantly improving.
Of course he knew that he had just been promoted to the fourth level and it would be difficult to improve again in a short period of time.
But people always look up.
Zhao Xun also hopes to reach the third level as soon as possible.
Although the third level is as weak as a grain of corn when facing the Demon Sect's high priest and the black wizard group, it can at least contribute more.
Zhao Xun didn't want him to be just a bystander when the academy guard war really broke out. This would be too sad and helpless.
"Yao Jianxian, there is something I have been unclear about. Could you please tell me something?"
"But it doesn't matter."
Yao Yan said very calmly.
"Practitioners all have their own natal objects. Once their natal objects are destroyed, their realm will plummet."
"Yes."
"For example, my natal object is my Minghong Sword, and your natal object is your Gezhu Sword. These are all natal objects that are very intuitive and easy to understand. But some other natal objects are not so obvious.
."
Zhao Xun swallowed a mouthful of spit and then continued: "For example, take the High Priest of the Demon Sect, what do you think his natal creature is?"
"this"
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan fell into silence for a while.
I have to say that the question raised by Zhao Xun is very difficult.
"I can't say either."
Yao Yan shook his head and said: "The High Priest of the Demon Sect practices Demon Sect magic, which is completely different from the ordinary practice system. Logically speaking, practitioners must have their own natal objects, but no one knows whether the Demon Sect is also within this scope.
."
"I once read a book, which said that the practitioners of the Demon Sect must also follow the path of cultivation. In other words, in this world, the rules they follow are exactly the same as ours. The reason why we feel
The practice system of the Demon Sect is different from ours, because the path of practice of the Demon Sect is too unique. But if you look carefully, the Demon Sect is just making more clever use of the loopholes in the practice world, and it has not exceeded the limit."
Zhao Xun saw that Yao Yan was also a little unsure, so he explained his understanding of the practitioners of the Demon Sect to Yao Yan one by one.
"So what do you think their natal possessions are?"
Yao Yan asked rhetorically.
Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.
Good guy, this question was obviously raised by Zhao Xun, but now it’s Yao Yan who asks him.
"In my opinion, the natal object of a demon sect practitioner is likely to be a mirror object."
"Mirror object?"
"Yes, a person very similar to him."
"You mean, clone?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "It's not a clone. The clone is deliberately created by people and is completely controlled by the main body. But the mirror object I'm talking about is that both parties have their own thoughts and can make independent judgments and decisions.
"
When Zhao Xun said this, Yao Yan was confused.
For a moment, Yao Yan didn't know what to say.
"If there really is such a mirror object as you mentioned, how dare he make it his natal object? If this person ran away, wouldn't his realm plummet."
"So I guess that this mirror object will be imprisoned by the Demon Sect practitioners in a fixed area, such as the exile space or the void space. They are more like a backup. If the Demon Sect practitioners die, their souls will return to
On this backup mirror object."
Zhao Xun felt that he had explained it very clearly, but it was obvious that Yao Yan did not understand.
"Wait a minute, please speak more slowly. Do you mean that the function of this natal object is the second life of the demon sect practitioner?"
Yao Yan seemed to have grasped the key point and was confirming it.
"That's pretty much what it means."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "This is indeed a bit like the second life of cultivators, or they can have more than two lives, as long as they can find another object as the original object after the soul returns to the original object.
.”
Zhao Xun feels that this is a bit like matryoshka dolls. As long as you can find enough mirror objects, you can continue to do so indefinitely.
Of course, a demon sect practitioner who can create a mirror image of one's own destiny must be a very high-level being.
If ordinary practitioners of the Demon Sect had this kind of unique skill, it would be too buggy.
Zhao Xun felt that this limit should be set very high, at least first-grade, and most likely super-grade.
"Well, that seems to make sense."
Yao Yan said in a deep voice: "That's why the High Priest of the Demon Sect is so difficult to kill, because he always has a mirror image as his natal object. As long as he cannot find this mirror image and destroy it, even if he kills the Demon Sect High Priest,
As a priest, his soul will also possess his natal objects, which means he is immortal."
The word "immortality" is really pretty.
Zhao Xun felt that Yao Yan was really good at coining words.
"Absolutely, so we try our best to stay on the defensive. We won't leave Zhongnan Mountain until the mountain leader has completely recovered."
There are restrictions in Zhongnan Mountain, and the restrictions in the academy are even stronger.
Any hostile force that enters the realm of academy cultivation will be greatly reduced.
There is no doubt about this.
So as long as Zhao Xun and the others stay in the academy honestly, even if they cannot defeat the Demon Sect's high priest and the dark wizard, their lives will not be in danger.
But if they fell into the trap and chased him out, the situation would be completely different.
"Well, that's good."
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong frowned and looked bitter and resentful, as if everyone in the world owed him a fortune.
"Daban, do you think the mountain chief is really still in Zhongnan Mountain now?"
"Your Majesty, this servant should not make rash comments. If you want to spy on the secrets of heaven, you have to do it yourself."
Zheng Jie said helplessly.
"Jian Zheng, Jian Zheng, Jian Zheng again. Yuan Tiangang, an old man, talks nice and will help me with things, but when it comes time to get down to business, he starts pretending to be dead."
Emperor Xianlong felt extremely angry.
"It sounds nicer than anything else, but as soon as he gets a glimpse of the secret, he starts to make excuses. I really have a white-eyed wolf."
Emperor Xianlong was furious, and Zheng Jie comforted him with kind words: "Your Majesty, the situation is actually not as bad as you feared."
"It is understandable that the supervisor does not dare to peek into the secrets of heaven because he is afraid of being punished by heaven. If a practitioner forcibly peeks into the secrets of heaven, it is really possible that God will be angry."
"But I am the emperor, why don't I want to have a glimpse of the secrets of heaven?"
Emperor Xianlong still felt a little unconvinced and snorted.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with what you say. But Yuan Tiangang's temperament is still more cautious."
Zheng Jie had no choice but to start fighting. He knew that the Zhou Empire still had to rely on Yuan Tiangang.
Since the mountain chief had already broken with Emperor Xianlong, Emperor Xianlong had to stabilize Yuan Tiangang and bring him to his side.
If even Yuan Tiangang abandoned Emperor Xianlong and ignored him, then the situation would be really difficult to handle.
Although Zheng Jie is also a super master, he is really unable to support himself alone.
Moreover, his cultivation level can only be regarded as average among more than ten super masters.
If he encounters someone who is weaker than him, it is easy to say. If he encounters someone who is stronger than him, Zheng Jiezhen may not be able to protect Emperor Xianlong.
Zheng Jie didn't dare to take risks, so he had to win over Yuan Tiangang and make him his ally.
Only when the two of them join forces can they be truly foolproof.
"Actually, if Your Majesty really wants to test it, I have a way."
Zheng Jie really knew the character of Emperor Xianlong very well.
Emperor Xianlong would do everything possible to do what he wanted to do, and he would also do everything possible to get what Emperor Xianlong wanted to get.
The more you don't let him do it, the more he will try his best to do it.
Instead of blocking him, it's better to follow his wishes, so that at least Xianlong won't do anything crazy.
"Tell me."
"We can send a first-level master to break into the academy's mountain gate and see how the academy reacts."
Zheng Jie said very sinisterly: "If the academy behaves very strongly and directly blocks this first-level expert from the door, then it means that the mountain chief is indeed still in Zhongnan Mountain. But if they can't stop or don't
If you dare to stop this person, please explain that the mountain chief is either not in Zhongnan Mountain, or there are other circumstances."
Emperor Xianlong looked overjoyed when he heard this.
"Daban, this is really a good idea. But there is one more thing, I don't understand, where can I find a master of this level?"
In Emperor Xianlong's impression, Zheng Jie, the supreme master, was his most trustworthy person.
Besides that, the most powerful practitioner he can mobilize is the bad guy Feng Hao.
But Feng Hao is only at the second level, and he is far away in Jiannan Road.
So who are the first-level practitioners he can mobilize?
"Your Majesty, this man is my adopted son, Zheng Yan."
"Your adopted son?"
"Yes, this person also serves in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Emperor Xianlong nodded.
Because eunuchs have no offspring, they often recognize some adopted sons.
Usually these adopted sons were also eunuchs.
Because normal men are unlikely to be willing to be the adopted sons of eunuchs, and it will not be good for your reputation if word spreads about it.
"Why have I never heard you mention him?"
Emperor Xianlong still had a suspicious look on his face.
He knew that Zheng Jie was loyal to him and would not deceive him.
But Zheng Jie's performance in this matter was indeed not satisfactory to Emperor Xianlong.
"This boy can only be regarded as a small success, and he will not be able to attract the attention of His Majesty."
Zheng Jie's words made Emperor Xianlong choke so much that he didn't know what to say.
A person who cultivates his mind at the first level is also called a small achiever?
Is Zheng Jie showing off?
Emperor Xianlong thought to himself, did Zheng Jie sincerely look down on Feng Hao?
After all, Feng Hao's cultivation level is only second level. Zheng Jie doesn't like his first-level adopted son, but what about Feng Hao?
Of course, Emperor Xianlong would not say this out loud.
But it was like a thorn in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
"Then let's try it."
Emperor Xianlong sighed and said: "I hope he will not disappoint me. If he proves to be of great use, I will not treat him badly."
It turns out that no news is the best news.
Because you never know what will happen next.
When Zhao Xun's peaceful life was broken, he finally realized this.
The one who broke this peaceful life was an eunuch.
This eunuch is none other than Zheng Yan.
Zheng Jie's adopted son, a first-class master.
This person came to Zhongnan Mountain with ease and found the mountain gate of Haoran Academy without any effort.
Then he gently lifted his steps and strode across the mountain barrier.
For Zheng Yan, completing all this seemed so easy.
Because the academy's restrictions were originally set up for practitioners below the third level, first-level practitioners ignore these restrictions.
So all this is not a problem at all for Zheng Yan.
"It's just a ban, it doesn't do anything to me."
Zheng Yan arrogantly said a harsh word and strode into the academy from under the tall archway.
This is the main entrance of the academy. From then on, entering the academy with a swagger means that he is announcing his arrival to everyone in the academy.
The academy disciples naturally felt it.
The first person to sense it was Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou.
He is good at studying various prohibitions.
Naturally, academy bans are also within its scope.
"Junior brother, someone is coming."
Lu Guangdou's tone was very cold, as if he was just a narrative machine without emotion. And that was actually the case.
At least for now, it seems that the intruder is quite powerful. If the academy disciples take it lightly, he will easily take advantage of him.
"Is this person from the Demon Sect? Or one of the dark wizards?"
Zhao Xun asked eagerly.
The main reason why he is so eager is because they are not really ready yet.
Although the disciples of the academy have been preparing for this moment these days, at least so far they are far from being in the best state. Facing the coming storm in such a state is not very reassuring.
.
"Probably not, the aura of a demon sect practitioner is not like this."
Lu Guangdou shook his head and said, "This person's breath smells very strange. He doesn't seem to be a man or a woman."
Neither male nor female?
Zhao Xun was stunned.
If this is the case, it means that this person is a eunuch.
Because only eunuchs are neither male nor female, and only eunuchs can exude this strange aura.
But if this person is a eunuch, it should be Zheng Jie.
After all, in Zhao Xun's impression, the only eunuch who could cross the academy's restrictions without any scruples was Eunuch Zheng Jie.
Zheng Jie is not a fuel-efficient person, at least that's what Zhao Xun thinks.
So we must not take it lightly.
"Is it Zheng Jie? I always thought that this guy was always by the dog emperor's side and was inseparable from the dog emperor."
After Zhao Xun said this, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou shook his head and said: "It seems not, the aura of this person does not resemble Zheng Jie. Zheng Jie is a super master, I will definitely feel it if he comes.
But this person is definitely not."
Lu Guangdou seemed a little hesitant.
"I'm not sure, but I think this person's cultivation level should not reach the super level, but his cultivation level is indeed very high. I guess it should be the first level."
A first-class practitioner?
Or a eunuch?
Zhao Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised when he came to this conclusion.
There really is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Chang'an City.
No, has the eunuch industry started to get so involved now? Aren't first-level practitioners embarrassed to say hello to others?
No matter what, this is a huge challenge for all the disciples in the academy.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he knows very well that based on the current situation, the best way to fight against this person is to have the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan take action.
First of all, Yao Yan's current level of cultivation is at the first level, and he is currently the first person besides the mountain chief.
Shan Chang is in retreat to heal and recover.
In this case, we definitely can't expect the mountain chief to come forward.
So the best choice is for Yao Yan to take action.
Of course, Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister are also capable of fighting, but after all, they have not broken through the window paper, so they will really suffer from fighting with their opponents.
As for the third senior brother, forget it.
Now that the third senior brother has finally managed to dress up as a mountain commander, he behaves like a mountain commander. Asking him to return to his original appearance at this time is tantamount to killing him.
Third senior brother is really good at working hard.
Cherishing life is what everyone needs to do, and Zhao Xun does not want to get into a fight with his third senior brother at this time.
"Well, let's go tell the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal. At this time, we should first find out the truth and falsehood of the other party."
Zhao Xun still maintained his basic rationality because he knew very well that the current situation was very unfavorable to them.
They must play every card well and be good at calculating every move in order to win in the end.
"Okay, I'll go to the third senior brother's place right away. I'll bother my younger brother to make a trip."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "It should be."
No matter what, we should explain the situation here to Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan as soon as possible.
With Long Qingquan's violent temper and impatience, if he knew that everyone in the academy was hiding something from him, he would definitely become furious. This is not what they want to see.
"Is there an intruder?"
Yao Yan raised his eyebrows instinctively after hearing this.
"Are you sure it's not the Demon Sect or the Dark Wizard?"
His first reaction was the same as Zhao Xun's, to confirm.
"Definitely not. The aura exuded by the Demon Sect and the Dark Wizard is completely different from this guy's aura. I feel like this person is a eunuch."
"Eunuch, is this Zheng Jie?"
"Probably not."
Lu Guangdou shook his head and said: "His cultivation level should not be as strong as Zheng Jie's, and he is a first-class person. Yao Jianxian, can you take a step to find out the truth?"
"Can."
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, spat out a word.
One thing versus another, Yao Yan naturally has nothing to be ashamed of.
In Yao Yan's opinion, there are very few first-level masters who can compete with him. Even if there are, they are rare.
Anyway, Yao Yan has never encountered him in these years.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that these guys have overestimated their capabilities to a certain extent and dare to come to the academy to provoke. Do you really think that cats and dogs can infringe on the interests of the academy?"
There is a reason for Yao Yan to be so angry.
With the current relationship between him and Liu Yingying, they may get married at any time.
What couples in love hate most is being disturbed.
What's more, this person is still an eunuch, which is really unlucky.
The eunuch himself did not understand the affairs between men and women, yet he did such disgusting things, as if he was targeting them intentionally.
If Yao Yan didn't take action against them, wouldn't he be sorry for his reputation as the Bamboo Forest Swordsman?
Yao Yan raised his sword and left.
What he was carrying was the Gezhu Sword, his natal sword.
Every swordsman's natal object is basically a sword, which is different from other practitioners.
Because for a swordsman, the sword is their life.
If a swordsman wants to achieve greater success in the art of swordsmanship, they must reach the state of unity between man and sword.
Only when they reach this level can every sword they throw have great lethality.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name. I won't kill unknown people."
Yao Yan strode forward and saw a practitioner with a very powerful Gang Qi walking towards him. He spoke first.
To a practitioner, the other person's Qi is like an offense.
Qi also has boundaries and territories, and a powerful practitioner will mark the territory by constantly distributing his own Qi to warn intruders that this is his territory and not to invade rashly.
The advantage of this is that unnecessary battles can be avoided.
Because the true energy they exude contains a lot of useful information, the most useful of which is the general state of the practitioner.
And if a practitioner senses this true energy, he can judge the approximate strength of his opponent from the true energy.
If his strength is obviously higher than that of his opponent, then there is nothing to say and he can invade at any time.
But if his strength is obviously inferior to that of his opponent, then the invasion will obviously be an act of overestimation of one's capabilities.
"Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, right? My adoptive father once mentioned you to me."
Zheng Yan's emotions were like a pool of spring water, without any ripples.
"My adoptive father often told me that there are only a dozen or so super masters in the world, which can be said to be rare. But there are dozens and nearly a hundred first-class practitioners. The gap is not small. But among these dozens and hundreds of people, there is one person
The realm is extremely close to the super level, and at this time, the person is you, Yao Yan."
Zheng Yan nodded and said: "I was still unconvinced at that time, but after seeing you today, I really feel that you are the best among men. The name of the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal is well-deserved."
Yao Yan frowned when he heard this and said, "Stop talking about these things. You haven't responded to what I just said. Who are you? I'll say it again, I don't kill unknown people."
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Zheng Yan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, you are worthy of being the Bamboo Forest Swordsman. I really have a temper and personality. Well, let me tell you who I am. I am the chamberlain, the adopted son of General Zheng Jie, Zheng
Word."
"Haha, I just said, why do I feel an aura that is neither male nor female? It turns out that he is really a eunuch."
Yao Yan emphasized the word eunuch very deliberately.
He noticed a hint of anger on Zheng Yan's face at this moment.
Although this emotional change was very brief and fleeting, it was still captured by Yao Yan.
It's very thick, as long as the other person has something that they hate and fear.
Yao Yan is afraid that his opponent will be a killing machine with no emotion.
It would be really difficult if that were the case.
"Actually, there's one thing I haven't quite understood."
After Yao Yan knows the opponent's weakness, the next thing he needs to do is to anger them.
"Why do eunuchs still want to adopt adopted children? Originally, eunuchs cannot have children, so it's better to keep a low profile. As long as you don't mention it yourself, no one will think in any direction. But isn't this adoption of an adopted son a good thing?
Do you want to remind everyone?"
The corners of Zheng Yan's mouth twitched slightly.
"I thought that the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal was a hidden master. Who would have thought that you could be so vulgar? It's because our family thinks highly of you."
Yao Yan shook his head and said, "Swordsman, wine, wine, and fairy. I don't like this name. If something has the word "fairy" in it, it will seem ungrounded. I still like to be a human being, and be a person with a fireworks spirit."
After a pause, Yao Yan continued: "As for you, it seems that you are also a first-class person, right? Do you know why your cultivation realm has never been able to improve? It's because you are too willing to be an immortal. Of course, there are immortals in such things.
Angry, but it also means unreal. If a person is unreal, it will be difficult for him to truly become a person."
There is a consensus in the spiritual world that everyone is equal to the great master.
There are dozens and hundreds of first-level practitioners, but there are only about ten super-level great masters.
The difference is not that big.
But if you want to advance from the first level to the super level, you not only have to cross the threshold of spiritual practice, but also the threshold of psychology.
This is really difficult.
"It's not your turn to lecture me here."
Zheng Yan was very angry.
He followed the order of his adoptive father and came to Haoran Academy to find out the truth.
His mission is to determine whether the mountain chief is still in Zhongnan Mountain.
If the mountain chief is gone, then the adoptive father can do whatever he wants, and there is really too much room for maneuver.
On the contrary, if the mountain chief is still there, then everything will have to be considered in the long term.
Although the adoptive father is very strong, he is really no match for Shan Chang. This has to be admitted.
Sometimes people still have to recognize their own strength.
But Zheng Yan felt that he was no match for Yao Yan.
At least judging from the strength currently displayed, the two of them should be evenly matched.
What Zheng Yan hates most is that the fight is concluded before the fight even begins.
It's a mule or a horse that comes out for a ride.
As soon as it comes up, it gives people a qualitative impression. What is the operation?
If this is the case, then in the future, the martial arts rankings will not need to rely on fighting, but just rely on talking heads to gain rankings.
What else does this mean?
"Hmph, it's not up to you whether I can become a Grand Master. You think you are someone who can judge me here."
Zheng Yan said angrily: "We are all first-grade now, and our strength is the same. Today we can distinguish ourselves and see who can break through to the realm of super-grade grandmaster earlier."
"You want to challenge me?"
Yao Yan's grasp of human psychology is just right.
He knew that Zheng Yan was in an extremely angry state at this moment, so at this time he tried his best to provoke the other party and ensure that the other party was angry.
As long as the other person is angry, he will lose his mind.
A practitioner who has lost his mind has nothing to fear at all.
"You are really abominable."
Zheng Yan stamped his feet angrily.
How could this guy be so hateful and say so many shameless words one after another?
Scholars are indeed shameless.
No, Yao Yan is not a scholar in essence. He just lives in Haoran Academy temporarily.
Even so, he has already contracted the bad habits of many scholars.
Being fond of talking is the biggest bad habit.
"If you want to beat me with your talk, then you can do it."
Zheng Yan drew his sword without hesitation, flew towards Yao Yan and stabbed him.
Yao Yan chuckled, thinking that you dare to use a sword in front of me, you are very courageous.
This is simply a trick.
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, claims to be the king of swords. The only people who can compete with him are the old swordsman from Bashu and Wei Wuji, the sword master from Dongyue Sword Pavilion.
Now that the old swordsman of Bashu has passed away, there is only one swordsman in the world named Wei Wuji whose swordsmanship is superior to that of Yao Yan.
But Yao Yan did not look down on Wei Wuji as a person.
In Yao Yan's opinion, a swordsman can be arrogant but not shameless.
And Wei Wuji happens to be the shameless type.
Shameless swordsmen have no principles at all, and they can do anything harmful to the world for their own benefit.
Let’s just talk about Wei Wuji. How many swordsmen have he killed who challenged him over the years?
It is said that masters can only compete with each other until they reach the point. This is also a principle of duel between swordsmen.
If everyone has a never-ending mentality, it will be very detrimental to the development of the spiritual practice world.
Because the younger generations will have a fearful mentality and dare not challenge those who are stronger than them head-on.
If things go on like this, the practice world will not be able to be internalized, and naturally it will not be promoted to become stronger.
Wei Wuji is like a cancer, suppressing the growth of young people.
It can be said that as long as Wei Wuji is around, practitioners, especially swordsmen, will always be suppressed.
And if Wei Wuji is subdued or even eliminated, then other kendo juniors will spring up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.
this point is very important.
Of course, Yao Yan didn't have time to think about these things at this moment, because Zheng Yan's sword had already been thrust out.
This sword is very fast.
"There is no one in Chang'an City who dares to compete with me."
Yao Yan directly sacrificed his natal sword Gezhu.
Other swords are made of steel, but the bamboo sword is not.
The Gezhu Sword is originally made of bamboo and is a true bamboo sword.
Bamboo is prone to cracking in the north, so Yao Yan needs to apply zhenqi on this bamboo sword every day to maintain the bamboo properly.
Otherwise, there is no need to crack during combat, as it will crack easily on weekdays.
The Gezhu Sword valued spirit over form, and thrust out the sword directly in front of Zheng Yan's sword. With just one flick, it pushed Zheng Yan's sword away.
Zheng Yan was shocked.
The two sides only met once, but judging from the opponent's performance, the level of strength was obviously higher than his.
"Good swordsmanship!"
One good thing about Zheng Yan is that once he determines the strength of his opponent, he will give him the utmost respect.
Even if this opponent is his mortal enemy, he will not erase the opponent's strength.
"One becomes a thousand!"
Zheng Yan shouted loudly, and then the sword in his hand turned into thousands.
Thousands of swords gathered together and stabbed directly at Yao Yan.
"Everything grows!"
Yao Yan was not panicked at all. The trick of using one to transform a thousand might seem powerful to outsiders, but to an expert like Yao Yan, it was really not worth mentioning.
"It's really strong."
Zheng Yan watched Yao Yan's bamboo sword growing longer and thicker, and was amazed for a moment.
After the bamboo sword grew, it blocked the attacks of Zheng Yan's thousands of swords.
Zheng Yan was forced to take back the sword and return the sword to his clan!
"Excellent swordsmanship, worthy of being the best swordsman in Chang'an."
"I don't like this title."
Yao Yan frowned and shook his head when he heard this.
After the two sides fought, they both had a general understanding of each other's cultivation level.
In Yao Yan's view, Zheng Yan's strength was indeed very powerful, but it was a pity that he did not use it in the right way.
Of course, Zheng Yan's sword quality is still good. After losing with one sword, he did not use any dirty tricks but directly recovered the sword energy.
"The title of the No. 1 Sword Immortal of Chang'an is too low for me. Now that the old Sword Immortal of Bashu has died, there is no problem in calling me the No. 1 Sword Immortal of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Haha, what a great Zhou Dynasty's number one swordsman, have you ever asked me?"
Zheng Yan shook his head and said: "If you want to be the number one swordsman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you must first step over me. You and I are both of the same rank, and you want to claim to be the number one without defeating me."
In his opinion, Yao Yan was indeed crazy, but he was not so crazy that he lost his mind.
At least he hasn't claimed to be the best swordsman in the world.
If Yao Yan claimed to be the best swordsman in the world, even Wei Wuji would have traveled thousands of miles to come and take away Yao Yan's life.
"Then let's fight and see who is the best swordsman in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Yao Yan naturally has nothing to be afraid of.
His strength is far superior to Zheng Yan's, and Yao Yan doesn't know how to lose in a fight between the two.
"Here comes the sword!"
The battle between the two sides just now was just a trial, and no real strength was used.
But this time, he had to resort to a killer move.
Following Yao Yan's loud shout, all the bamboos in the bamboo forest not far away sprouted out of the ground and flew straight towards Zheng Yan.
"Sword out!"
Zheng Yan did not dare to be careless at all, so he transformed his sword into thousands of swords and faced Yao Yan to greet him.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. As a swordsman, you can't be timid at this time.
But if you act cowardly, all your momentum will be lost.
The momentum of a master's duel is the most important thing.
Everything can be released, but the momentum cannot be released!
I saw countless precious swords and countless bamboo swords fighting each other, covering the sky and the sun for a while, it was so majestic.
"happy!"
Since Feijian and Bamboo Sword were fighting against each other, Yao Yan and Zheng Yan were free from each other.
They can still continue to talk without any scruples.
Until one of them completely defeats the opponent with Feijian.
"As expected of the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, he has reached the realm of transformation with his ability to turn bamboo into swords."
Zheng Yan clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "Others have to stick to borrowing swords, but you can borrow the sword directly from the bamboo forest. It's really cool!"
Zheng Yan's words undoubtedly made Yao Yan feel very useful.
"You still have some knowledge, but you don't need to flatter me here, because no matter how much you flatter me, I will not let you go. Those who violate the academy will always have to pay a price."
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan spread his hands and said: "You think you are very strong, but in my opinion you are not worth mentioning at all. Everything you are doing now is in vain."
"Then you misunderstood."
Zheng Yan said calmly: "I don't mean to flatter you, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not afraid of you either. The truth is that I really like to fight against real strong people, because it can make people stronger."
.”
"Okay, then I'd be very happy."
It seemed to Yao Yan that it was impossible for him to lose, so he just played with Zheng Yan.
"Ten thousand swords unite into one!"
Seeing that Yao Yan's bamboo sword couldn't be defeated separately, Zheng Yan thought of putting all the swords together to see.
After reciting the mantra of Ten Thousand Swords Uniting into One, countless swords joined together and turned into a huge sword, stabbing towards Yao Yan who was not far away.
"The person to take my sword has not yet appeared!"
