Chapter 317: New Sparring Third Senior Brother (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Chapter)
Some people have some things that are really difficult to think about with common sense.
At least that's what Zhao Xun thinks.
Take Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying and Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan as an example of the pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks. They are obviously childhood sweethearts.
But it just happened to be so twisted.
No matter how you look at it, it is all twisted, and it is visible to the naked eye.
This is too uncomfortable.
Zhao Xun does not have the so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he felt uncomfortable for no reason when he saw this scene and situation.
Well, Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Swordsman, did follow his method, but the effect did not seem to be ideal.
This is too difficult.
Zhao Xun now feels that those who work as matchmakers are very skilled.
Why can't such an outstanding man as the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan make the second senior sister Liu Yingying relent?
Zhao Xun used all his eighteen martial arts skills, but the effect was really not very good.
"Well, Yao Jianxian, don't be angry or discouraged. In my opinion, Second Senior Sister just wants to test you. As long as you can persevere, she will eventually agree to marry you."
Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Yao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't comfort me. I don't know Yingying's character yet? If she decides to do something, even ten cows can't be pulled back. If she doesn't want to do it,
I won't force things."
Tsk tsk, this Yao Jianxian is too honest.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't say much more. Yao Jianxian, you must seize the opportunity. You must not lose face when chasing a girl, let alone someone as tough as Second Senior Sister."
Zhao Xun swallowed and said, "I have nothing else to do. I'm going back to the house first."
After saying that, Zhao Xun immediately turned around and left.
It's too difficult, it's too difficult.
The scene just now was too embarrassing.
Zhao Xun felt that if he left a second later, the air would freeze.
Matchmaking and being a matchmaker are actually quite tiring, and it also tests your skills.
At least Zhao Xun's current strength cannot do this.
It's better to go back and accompany the little loli.
As soon as he entered the bamboo house, Zhao Xun saw a dark figure rushing over.
Before he could react, he felt a pain in his chest.
"Ouch"
It turned out that it was a little loli who bumped into me.
Zhao Xun was so busy thinking about the marriage between his second senior sister Liu Yingying and the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy that he didn't notice the little Loli rushing over. He was completely stunned.
"Well, Danshu, could you let me know when you rush over? Now that you are a big kid, I can't bear such a sudden collision."
Although the little lolita Zhao Danshu is only seven or eight years old, she is really strong.
In addition, Zhao Xun was completely unconscious and unprepared. He was hit in the ribs by the little guy, which made his stomach churn, as if everything he had eaten was about to be vomited out.
It's too difficult for him.
"Brother Xun is cruel to me again, wuwuwuwu"
Of course the little lolita Zhao Danshu knew where her brother's weakness was, and she immediately started crying without hesitation.
Act coquettishly and show weakness, but if it doesn't work anymore, you'll start crying.
It has to be said that these three axes worked for Zhao Xun time and time again.
The main reason is that the little guy's status in Zhao Xun's mind is too important, and Zhao Xun simply can't bear it.
"No way, how could I be mean to you? Danshu, we have to be reasonable."
Seeing that the comfort was ineffective, Zhao Xun had no choice but to hug the little Loli.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The little lolita Zhao Danshu bit her finger and thought for a long time, then smiled and said: "Tell Brother Xun to be a big horse for me to ride."
"."
Zhao Xun was speechless for a moment.
In other words, if my sister dared to make this request, if it were anyone else, Zhao Xun would have slapped her with a big-eared melon seed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, okay, big brother will be the big horse."
After saying that, Zhao Xun lay down on the ground and motioned for Zhao Danshu to jump up.
The little loli was not polite and jumped directly onto Zhao Xun's back: "Ride a big horse, ride a big horse, drive."
Zhao Xun is so helpless.
But what can he do? The girl is his own girl, so even if she is a little willful, he can only accept her.
After crawling with Zhao Danshu for a long time, Zhao Xun dared to get up when he saw that his sister was finally satisfied.
"Okay, are you willing to forgive me now?"
At this moment, Zhao Xun truly understood the meaning of the phrase "bow down and be willing to be a coward".
Sometimes family love is really great.
A straight man will sometimes show his softest side to his loved ones.
"Well, brother Xun, please continue telling me a story."
Zhao Danshu smiled, and Zhao Xun melted instantly.
"Okay, what story do you want to hear."
"One Thousand and One Nights, where did you talk last time?"
"I talked about it last time."
Zhao Xun knew that once he started the storytelling mode, it would be impossible to stop in a short time.
Little lolita Zhao Danshu has a great thirst for stories just like other children.
It's not enough to say it once, sometimes you have to say it twice.
It's not enough to say it twice. Sometimes it's necessary to say it three times.
When Zhao Xun talked about it, he was a little confused. He didn't know how many times he had to talk about it before he gave up.
Alas, this is the power of a naughty child. He can't talk or hit him, he can only coax him.
After the little lolita Zhao Danshu finally fell asleep, Zhao Xun carefully picked her up and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then carefully walked out of the house.
As soon as he went out, Zhao Xun saw Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou standing outside the bamboo building.
"Sixth Brother? Why are you here?"
I saw Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou coughing and saying: "Little Junior Brother, please stop asking so many questions now and come with me quickly."
"Well"
Zhao Xun was a little confused for a moment.
Where is this all going?
However, he still did not refuse, but followed the sixth brother out obediently.
"Junior brother, I have been thinking about a question these days. Are these dragons really reliable?"
"Sixth Brother, are you talking about Luo Lun and the others?"
"We didn't even know their real names, so we accepted them. What if this was a plan by the enemy? We first sent out spies to sneak into the academy, and then they stabbed us in the back during the actual battle."
When he said this, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou began to gasp.
"Well, it shouldn't be the case. Didn't Taoist Qinglian use the mind-observation technique to see it? There should be no problem."
At that time, Zhao Xun still had an extra eye and asked his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi to use the mind-observation technique to take a look.
Only after ensuring that there were no problems would he dare to accept Luo Lun and his party.
"Having said that, I always feel uneasy. Observation is effective for people in our world, but is it effective for people in other worlds? If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"I didn't consider this."
Any skill actually has restrictions. It would be terrible if the mind-observation technique is really ineffective on the people of Ellen Lore Continent.
"So now do we need to make amends?"
“Make amends after the last moment?”
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment and said: "What kind of remedy is there?"
The Sixth Senior Brother rolled his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten the Tenth Junior Brother? He can make paper figurines. Ask him to make more paper figurines and put them next to these Dragon Clan people, so that he can know what they are doing at the first time."
Well, that's it.
It turns out that Sixth Senior Brother wanted to rely on paper figures to monitor Luo Lun and his party.
In fact, it’s not a bad idea.
"Okay, then let's go find Brother Ten as soon as possible."
Zhao Xun responded quickly.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect would never have thought that what would stop them after leaving the swamp would be a big river.
The river flows straight to the east, and its rapids seem to be capable of swallowing up everything.
Even the most powerful people cannot predict such changes.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was silent for a moment.
The dark wizards on the side stared at the Demon Sect High Priest with stern faces, as if they were mocking his decision.
"How is it? What's the explanation this time? We didn't say a word during the whole journey. You were always leading the way. But what kind of road are you leading, and where are you taking us?"
The question of the dark wizard Augustine made the High Priest of the Demon Sect dumbfounded.
"I don't know why this happened. It seems like time and space are distorted. Originally, in my impression, there was no such river here."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was puzzled. He really couldn't understand. In his impression, this river really shouldn't appear here.
But it did appear. What does this mean?
The High Priest of the Demon Sect felt that time and space were indeed distorted.
"Perhaps it's because the Dark Portal opened?"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect pondered for a long time and felt that this was the most likely possibility.
"You're saying that people from two worlds are forcibly connected, causing the world to be squeezed, right?"
Augustine asked.
"Yes."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect said very seriously: "It stands to reason that the two worlds should be completely parallel. Therefore, people from the two worlds will never intersect, let alone have any influence."
After a pause, the High Priest of the Demon Sect continued: "However, the Dark Portal broke all this. It connected two originally unrelated worlds. The tribes and people of the two worlds can communicate with each other.
"
The words of the Demon Sect High Priest made the dark wizards also fall into deep thought.
"Under the huge force, time and space were distorted. The original river channels changed, the original mountains were displaced, and the original swamps became wider and larger."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Perhaps the sky above our heads is also changing quietly, but we just didn't sense it."
"this"
The dark wizards were completely panicked.
"If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the world is already unstable? The reason why we insisted on passing through the Dark Portal in the first place was because we hoped to find a new place suitable for our people to live. But if this is the result, we
All the original efforts and efforts are meaningless. If this is an unstable world, what are we doing here in the first place?"
The dark wizard Francis was a little excited, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
Augustine naturally noticed this, and he motioned to Francis to calm down.
"Don't think about this now. The top priority now is to ensure that we can get enough time and space to seize control of Chang'an. Even if the world has begun to distort, now that we are here, we can only continue to fight hard.
Scalp goes down. Do we have to give up all this and choose to start from scratch?"
"We can't go back, of course we can't go back. If we return to the continent of Ellen Lore at this time, we will undoubtedly be laughed to death."
"Yes, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. At this time, there is no way to turn back."
In a tough situation, everyone's destiny is actually determined.
They themselves cannot reverse their fate, they can only keep moving forward under the torrent of the times.
This may sound a little sentimental, but it's true.
At least Augustine knew that was the case.
"Let's keep moving forward, cross this river, and see what's on the other side of the river. Nothing can stop us now, not even the big rivers, not the mountains."
Augustine pointed to the sky with both hands and said: "We are people blessed by the God of Darkness."
It is not difficult to inject evil spirits into the bodies of death row prisoners and criminals.
At least this is the view of Master Huiyan, the Great Vajra Master of the Western Regions.
He easily poured evil spirits into these guys' bodies, and they struggled a bit at first.
But after Master Huiyan used the calming spell to comfort them, these guys calmed down.
But it was as if their souls had been sealed, and their eyes began to become dull and lifeless.
Although they are still alive, they actually look no different from the walking dead.
"Your Majesty, these are what the poor monk calls the evil spirit army."
Master Huiyan once had a late night talk with Emperor Xianlong in the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace. The conversation at night was not about state affairs but about ghosts and gods.
If anyone is good at the way of ghosts and gods, besides Taoism, it is the Buddhist sect of the Western Regions.
Master Huiyan is an expert among them, and he is very knowledgeable about all kinds of sexy operations.
Emperor Xianlong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Holy Monk, what is the impact of this evil spirit army? They are not afraid of swords, guns and arrows because they cannot feel pain. But can they withstand sharp weapons such as trebuchets?
"
"As long as their bodies are not crushed and their heads are still on their necks, they can bear it."
"hiss"
Emperor Xianlong gasped instinctively.
If it is really like what Master Huiyan said, it would be too terrifying.
At least Emperor Xianlong looked terrifying.
"So the poor monk said that the impact of this army will be extremely powerful. It can be used as a stormtrooper death squad."
Master Huiyan said calmly: "Your Majesty, how many evil spirit troops are there for the poor monk to control?"
"this"
Emperor Xianlong fell into deep thought.
If we only talk about death row inmates, there may not be many of them, but if we include ruffians, thugs, etc., there should be more than 10,000 people.
The entire population of Chang'an exceeds two million, but there are not many who can truly be considered evil.
"In this case, the poor monk should alienate them first."
Master Huiyan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please step back a little. The poor monk is worried that the magic will affect your Majesty."
Emperor Xianlong quickly stepped back.
He is most afraid of death and values his own life more than anything else. Naturally, he is afraid that his soul will be corroded by evil spirits.
This time Master Huiyan adopted a batch erosion mode.
As soon as you get started, all the death row prisoners in the cell will be alienated.
The entire alienation process can actually be interrupted, so the caster must keep himself in absolute safety when casting the spell.
Master Huiyan did this very well.
"Your Majesty, it's almost done. You can come and take a look."
After the spell was cast, Master Huiyan took the initiative to report to Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong then dared to take two steps forward.
Even through the fence, he could still feel the unexplained smell of death among the prisoners in the prison.
"Well, I think this is a bit scary."
If you are alone, the feeling is not that strong.
But if you see so many alienated people at once, the feeling will be very strong.
Emperor Xianlong tried his best to calm down, but his instinct made him feel sick and vomited.
The death row prisoners in front of him were still the same group of people, but the putrid smell emanating from their bodies could not be concealed no matter what.
These are indeed a group of living dead.
Xianlong Emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Seeing Emperor Xianlong vomiting, Master Huiyan quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Now that Emperor Xianlong is his tool, Master Huiyan naturally does not want anything to happen to Emperor Xianlong before he achieves his goal.
In that case, Master Huiyan would have to start all over again, which is obviously unrealistic.
It’s really hard to say whether someone else could be as obedient as Emperor Xianlong if he were the emperor.
"I'm fine."
Emperor Xianlong wiped the corners of his mouth clean and said with a wry smile: "These guys are really scary. Just looking at them makes you feel creepy. If they charge and fight on the battlefield, they can really scare the enemy."
You must be brave."
"Roughly the same."
Master Huiyan nodded and said: "Even if they face strange beasts, they will not be at a disadvantage. As long as there are enough."
He once again emphasized quantity.
In terms of individual combat effectiveness, these alienated evil spirit armies are definitely no match for the alien beasts, but with more people beating fewer enemies, it is completely different when they are surrounded and beaten.
"Okay, I will order people to collect suitable people to complete the transformation, but the holy monk must ensure that he can defend Chang'an. This is my bottom line."
In Emperor Xianlong's view, as long as Chang'an City can be defended, any price is worth it.
These guys are on death row, and at worst they are ruffians, tyrants, hooligans and other great villains.
To seize their bodies and complete their alienation is not to kill them, but to squeeze their value and let them fight for the Zhou Dynasty and the imperial court. Why not?
As long as the imperial court is preserved, the Great Zhou Dynasty is preserved, and Emperor Xianlong's throne is preserved, the sacrifices of these people will be worthwhile.
Many years later, the history books would not mention even one word about these people who were like mud. They would only continue to praise Emperor Xianlong and prove that he was a wise king and the leader of ZTE.
If the historians were unwilling to disagree, Emperor Xianlong would order them to change it.
If they were unwilling to change, Emperor Xianlong would replace a group of people as historians.
The Legion of the Living Dead is Emperor Xianlong's trump card, and Emperor Xianlong will not reveal it until he is forced to do so.
But if Chang'an City was really in danger, Emperor Xianlong would play this card to catch the enemy off guard.
On this day, Zhao Xun was suddenly summoned by the mountain chief.
This was the first time in a month, so Zhao Xun was naturally very excited.
In any case, this is the first time since Shanzhang has taken the initiative to ask to see someone.
And the one I want to see is Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun felt ecstatic as if he had won a lottery.
He first tidied up his appearance and made sure that he was in a suitable state to meet Shan Chang, the old man. Then he left his bamboo house with his head held high and headed towards Shan Chang's bamboo house.
Only a handful of people in the academy knew about the news that the mountain chief had gone into seclusion to recuperate.
Even among the disciples who broke into the house, many people were kept secret.
This suggestion was made by Zhao Xun. He was not worried that there would be a traitor in the academy. He was worried that there would be too many people talking and someone would inadvertently say he was bald.
Trying to control the insiders is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
Before entering the bamboo house, Zhao Xun even shook his robes to ensure that his appearance was in the best condition.
"Shan Zhang, here I come!"
Zhao Xun strode into the bamboo building. When he saw the chief sitting on the chair, he quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Disciple, see the chief."
"Little Seventy-Two is here, sit down."
The mountain chief always loved Zhao Xun very much. Zhao Xun happily sat next to the mountain chief, and then said happily: "Looking at this, the mountain chief has recovered?"
The mountain chief nodded slightly: "We are still together."
"That's good, that's good. To be honest, I've worried my disciples to death these days. You are the backbone of the academy. If there is something wrong with you, what should we, the disciples, do?
."
"Haha, you dare to talk to my master like this. To tell you the truth, if my master is not attacked by surprise, even if the high priest of the Demon Sect and those dark wizards attack together, they will not be able to take advantage at all."
The mountain leader recalled that battle and still felt very unconvinced.
In fact, he didn't have a chance.
Even if he is attacked by surprise, he still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But at that time, he was already injured after all, so to be on the safe side, Shan Chang chose to avoid the edge and escape from the void first.
"Mountain Chief, you must already know about the Dragon Clan's settlement in Zhongnan Mountain, right? Although you are in seclusion, I think nothing can escape your fiery eyes."
"Well, my master has indeed already known about it."
The mountain leader picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, moistened his throat and said, "You did a good job in this matter, including letting Lao Shi use paper figures to monitor their actions later."
Zhao Xun smiled awkwardly and said: "Shan Chief, that was Sixth Senior Brother's idea. I don't dare to take credit."
"You, haha, what can I say about you as a teacher?"
The mountain chief smiled and said: "Actually, things are not as complicated as you think. No matter whether it is the dragon clan or other races, they are actually just trying to survive and explore a new country suitable for their lives. The only ones who really need to be vigilant are
There are demons and undead."
"Chief Shan, do you also know about these two races?"
"Know a thing or two."
The mountain chief nodded and said: "The so-called demons and undead are just the incarnations of evil thoughts. There are also such incarnations in our world. It's just that their expressions are different. To deal with them, we must rely on good thoughts and awe-inspiring aura.
.So we have a huge advantage as long as we are in Zhongnan Mountain."
"What the mountain chief said is absolutely true. But how to lure them to attack Zhongnan Mountain?"
This is also a doubt of Zhao Xun.
In Zhao Xu's view, if the other party can sense the aura of awe-inspiring force, he will definitely try his best to avoid it. There is no reason to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain.
"It's up to you."
The mountain chief smiled slightly and said: "As long as the other party realizes that our master is not in Zhongnan Mountain, or has been seriously injured and his strength has been greatly reduced, they may think of invading Zhongnan Mountain to establish victory in one fell swoop."
Well, although Zhao Xun doesn't understand it very well, it sounds very reasonable.
"This is to lure the enemy deeper, right?"
Zhao Xun was still able to understand the mountain chief's thinking.
If they knew that the mountain chief had recovered from his serious injury, it would be impossible for the Demon Sect's high priest and the black wizard to take the initiative to attack Zhongnan Mountain.
But once they know there is an opportunity, they will definitely give it a try.
"Yes, but I have something to tell you as a teacher. Only you can know this. Don't tell your senior brothers and sisters."
"Ah, why is this?"
Zhao Xun was a little confused at this point.
Obviously more people know and can handle the crisis better, so why does the mountain chief still hide it from other senior brothers and sisters?
"Just do as the teacher says, and the teacher will tell you the reason later."
The mountain chief seemed to have no intention of explaining.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, now all the pressure is on him.
The old man, the mountain chief, really trusts him.
In this case, Zhao Xun cannot let the mountain chief down.
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong began to meditate after returning to the palace from the dungeon.
Now he is used to meditating.
Meditating can purify his mind and keep him in a calm state at all times.
"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan wishes to see you."
Xiao Huangmen's words made Emperor Xianlong open his eyes.
"Xuan."
He faintly uttered one word.
In fact, Emperor Xianlong was still very curious. He had just returned from the dungeon, and Master Huiyan was clearly around at that time. Why did he ask to see him now?
But no matter what, Emperor Xianlong decided to meet him.
Soon, Master Huiyan was brought before Emperor Xianlong.
He enjoyed the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor, so he could sit cross-legged directly in front of Emperor Xianlong.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has just injected evil spirits into those people's bodies, and now they are in the process of transformation."
"Thank you for your hard work, holy monk."
The corners of Emperor Xianlong's mouth raised slightly: "Next, I will provide more people to the holy monks for the holy monks to inject evil spirits into for transformation. I hope to form my army of the living dead as soon as possible."
After a pause, Emperor Xianlong asked: "Why does the holy monk want to see me this time?"
"Your Majesty, it's like this. The atmosphere of scholars and Taoists in Chang'an City is too strong. The poor monk is worried that it will affect the layout of the poor monk's spellcasting."
Master Huiyan sighed and said: "The poor monk knows that this great formation in Chang'an City was created by Meng Shengshuo, so it is inevitable that it will be contaminated with the aura of Confucianism. But this aura is indeed in conflict with the aura of the poor monk. If not
If there is no reconciliation, even a poor monk will not come to His Majesty."
Emperor Xianlong was silent.
It seems that Master Huiyan wants to move the talisman array that protects Chang'an City.
This somewhat embarrassed Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong can agree to all other conditions.
Only this one made it difficult for him to make a choice for a while.
The main reason is that the importance of this formation is too great. If the formation is damaged, Chang'an City and even the imperial palace will be in danger for a long time.
"Is there no other way?"
"No."
Master Huiyan said categorically.
He knew that at this time, he had to be determined. As long as he had the slightest hesitation, Emperor Xianlong would not agree to his request.
"What is the holy monk going to do to completely seal the formation?"
"That's not necessary. We just need to let the poor monks inject Buddhist teachings into several important nodes of the formation."
Master Huiyan put his hands together and said: "In this way, the breath of Confucianism will be weakened a lot. As for Taoism?"
Master Huiyan sighed and said: "It is impossible to expel all the Taoist priests and seal down all the Taoist temples in a short period of time. The poor monk thinks that they can give up part of the geomantic treasure land and rebuild the temple, so as to weaken the Taoism and strengthen the Buddhism."
breath."
"Can."
Emperor Xianlong thought for a while and felt that Master Huiyan's request was not too excessive, so he agreed.
"One more thing."
Master Huiyan said solemnly: "A poor monk needs to practice double cultivation with a clan girl to achieve the greatest breakthrough, to break through the existing transcendent realm and achieve the unity of heaven and man."
Double cultivation?
When he heard this word, Emperor Xianlong almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly and confirmed again and again: "Is the holy monk serious?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk does need dual cultivation to improve his strength. The master's daughter can increase the poor monk's luck to the greatest extent, so the improvement is the fastest."
In fact, Master Huiyan wanted to propose dual cultivation with the princess at first, but he thought about it and decided not to do so out of consideration for Emperor Xianlong's face.
He retreated and thought of the Grandmaster's daughter, but he didn't know that Emperor Xianlong was also in a dilemma.
"This is not good, after all, the Grand Master's daughter is the daughter of the kings. If I force myself, what will the kings think?"
"Why do you need to worry so much, Your Majesty? The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Even the kings are no exception. Your Majesty is just asking them to sacrifice their royal daughters and poor monks, and you are not asking for their lives.
They should be able to weigh in and clearly agree.”
"Let me think about it again."
Emperor Xianlong felt a headache and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk can wait, but Chang'an cannot wait. If the poor monk cannot reach the realm of unity between heaven and man before the alien beasts and alien races arrive, it may not be possible to guarantee the safety of Your Majesty. Those living dead who have been injected with evil spirits
Although the legions are ferocious and have extremely high combat power, they can at most hold back ordinary alien beasts and compete with them. But when they encounter top-level dark wizards, they are just scum and have no power to resist. In the end, the final competition is still between them.
The strength of the top cultivators. Your Majesty, do you think the patrons Zhang and Yuan Tiangang are reliable? Can Zheng Jie alone be able to support the situation? The poor monk is willing to work for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty must also give the poor monk some support."
Master Huiyan has said this very clearly.
After he finished speaking, he just stared at Emperor Xianlong quietly, but he even made Emperor Xianlong look at him.
"I'll think about it again."
Emperor Xianlong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He now needs to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to agree to Master Huiyan's request.
After all, this is someone who will be spurned by his ancestors.
Emperor Xianlong was obviously very confused, because this was not the same as getting married.
Harmony is a compromise that the monarch has to make due to external pressure.
The marriage may bring decades or even hundreds of years of peace to the entire empire.
And if he now gives the clan daughter to Master Huiyan for dual cultivation, what does that mean?
The Great Zhou Empire has not yet reached the stage of life and death, right?
Although alien races and beasts from another world may pose a threat to the Zhou Empire, they are only threats.
Not only did the two sides not really start a war, they never even met formally.
Under such circumstances, if Emperor Xianlong gave up and agreed to Master Huiyan's request to send a clan girl for his dual cultivation, what would the clan think of him? What would the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of him? What would the common people of Li think of him?
?
These are all issues that Emperor Xianlong must consider. He cannot just be happy for a while, but needs to consider many things.
More importantly, Emperor Xianlong not only had to pay attention to his life, but also to his posthumous reputation.
At least from the current point of view, this kind of thing is shameful to the world.
If Emperor Xianlong really did it, he would be prepared to be cast aside by the world.
Even if he can silence the historian through coercion and inducement, can he still silence the mouths of all living beings in the world?
Wouldn't it be too tragic if he was notorious as a fool because of this incident?
Emperor Xianlong found this somewhat unacceptable.
But do you just reject Master Huiyan like that?
Emperor Xianlong felt that this was a bit inappropriate.
After all, Master Huiyan expressed goodwill to Emperor Xianlong and the royal family from the first moment he arrived in Chang'an.
Of course Master Huiyan has his own purpose, which is normal.
Emperor Xianlong knew very well that Master Huiyan wanted to use his help to turn Buddhism into the most influential sect in the Central Plains, and even replace Taoism.
These are very normal.
Everyone does things for profit, even Emperor Xianlong.
In his view, the prerequisite for cooperation is that both parties can provide something of equal value.
This thing can be money, power, or female sex.
Emperor Xianlong firmly believed in this.
Tangled, Emperor Xianlong fell into an extremely tangled situation.
At a loss, Emperor Xianlong seemed a little at a loss for a while.
At this moment, he really didn't know what to do.
Master Huiyan’s ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate.
From the very beginning, he noticed the changes in Emperor Xianlong's mood.
He didn't push it at this time.
Because he knew very well that if he urged him at this time, Emperor Xianlong would probably fall into negative emotions.
If he fell into negative emotions, it was very likely that Emperor Xianlong would eventually reject Master Huiyan's request.
So his best choice now is not to urge him, but to let Emperor Xianlong think.
Emperor Xianlong really needs time to think now. Any change in his mood may directly lead him to make a different judgment.
Finally, Emperor Xianlong shook his head impatiently and said, "That's all, I'm having a hard time making a decision right now. I'll let you know when I think about it."
"That's good, that's good. It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, please feel free to think about it. I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Master Huiyan turned and left.
In fact, he knew that Emperor Xianlong was already tempted, but he had many things to worry about.
Moreover, Emperor Xianlong also wanted to save face. He couldn't happily send the clan daughter to Master Huiyan at this time, right?
But everything was in his calculation, and he felt that Emperor Xianlong would eventually give in.
After Master Huiyan left, Emperor Xianlong walked alone in the Zichen Hall.
He was really too confused.
The two choices are like two extremes. How should he choose?
Emperor Xianlong found that he had no one to discuss with.
Yes, what is there to discuss about this kind of thing?
In other words, how could Emperor Xianlong have the nerve to discuss it?
If he summoned a minister and stated that he wanted to give his daughter to Master Huiyan for dual cultivation, he would probably kneel down and remonstrate to his death, right?
Even Emperor Xianlong could imagine this scene and felt a splitting headache.
It is true that Emperor Xianlong did not really need to send a princess for Master Huiyan to practice dual cultivation.
But the nature of the clan girls is actually similar. They are both of the blood of the Li family, and they are also of the Tianhuang noble family.
If you send it out, you will be ridiculed by everyone in the world.
Moreover, what would the kings think?
What would you think of him as the emperor?
You must know that Emperor Xianlong was a king with high prestige after having been on the throne for decades. If his prestige plummeted because of this, it would be a loss outweighing the gain.
The more Emperor Xianlong thought about it, the more painful it became, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
That's all, let's take a nap first. When you wake up, you may have new ideas.
There is no need to push yourself too hard, you need to rest at this time.
Master Huiyan started meditating as usual after returning to Shanglinyuan.
He could maintain this sleepless state for a full month.
After a month, he only needs to take a nap for a few hours, and then he can continue to stay awake for a full month.
Such a strong body allows him to spend much more time doing things than ordinary people.
He can plan more carefully and arrange things very carefully.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Master Huiyan heard that familiar voice.
As expected, the little yellow gate next to Emperor Xianlong came.
"Master Huiyan, Your Majesty has summoned you."
"I know, wait a moment."
Master Huiyan stood up unhurriedly, showered symbolically, and then strode out.
"Your Majesty, do you have an idea?"
"This slave doesn't dare to say anything. Master Huiyan should ask Your Majesty when he arrives."
Xiao Huangmen curled up his neck and looked extremely nervous. Gu Cai
"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore."
Master Huiyan knew that the little eunuch would not dare to talk nonsense even if he knew, so he just smiled and strode towards the direction of Zichen Hall.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong was sitting on the throne of Zichen Hall, rubbing his forehead.
He thought about it all night and finally came up with a solution that had both ends.
This is to select a daughter from the clan and order her to become a nun.
In this way, he can be removed from the royal family tree.
After a few months, when the limelight has passed, he is ordered to return to secular life and practice dual cultivation with Master Huiyan.
By that time, the rumors should have passed a lot. Even if some people still want to stir up trouble, they can't find an entry point. After all, this clan girl is no longer a clan member in name. It is her own choice to return to secular life. With Huiyan,
Dual cultivation as a mage was also her own choice and had nothing to do with Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong could maintain his prestige and reputation without offending Master Huiyan, so it was indeed the best choice.
But he still needs to make this clear to Master Huiyan. As long as Master Huiyan can accept it, then the next step is which clan girl to choose and some details.
The morning air in Haoran Academy is very fresh.
Zhao Xun practiced his sword skills alone in the bamboo forest.
Now he can use the Flying Sword Technique, which he learned from the Flying Sword Technique.
Next is flying with a sword. Although it doesn't sound as cool as flying with a sword, there is actually no difference.
Zhao Xun is a person who understands change very well. In his opinion, sometimes some things are not that complicated.
The key depends on the angle you look at the problem.
If you can look at the problem from a better perspective, you will definitely gain a more ideal result.
Zhao Xun knows how to be grateful, and he has done his best to try to bring together the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan and his second senior sister Liu Yingying.
But some things just can't happen through force.
Zhao Xun could only try his best to bring them together, but he couldn't force the second senior sister to be with Yao Yan.
Forget it, let nature take its course.
What really worries Zhao Xun now is that he still can't tell his brothers and sisters that the mountain leader has recovered.
Although he didn't know why the mountain chief didn't let him speak, he knew that the mountain chief's decision must have his own reasons. He didn't need to question the mountain chief's decision, he just needed to quietly carry out the mountain chief's instructions.
Can.
Of course, by now Zhao Xun had already felt confident.
With a healed and healthy chief, the academy will have a backbone.
To be honest, Zhao Xun was really panicked during those days when the mountain leader was away.
He was afraid that Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who was not a son of man, would hurt people. He was afraid that his family's safety would be threatened. He was afraid of many, many things.
Although there were senior brothers and sisters, even Taoist Priest Qinglian and the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, Zhao Xun was very panicked.
But now that the mountain chief is back, a very healthy mountain chief is back, Zhao Xun knows that he has nothing to fear anymore.
A healthy mountain chief is invincible, a healthy mountain chief can call the wind and rain, and a healthy mountain chief can change the world's pattern by himself.
The mountain chief has done it before, and he can still do it now.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?"
The third senior brother Long Qingquan came over at some point and rushed along the bamboo forest to Zhao Xun's side.
Long Qingquan is still dressed like a mountain leader.
Zhao Xun was already used to it, but he had just seen the recovered mountain chief, and now he saw an impostor again, so he felt a little bit weird.
"Uh, well, I'm practicing sword flying. Although I have a Pippi Shrimp White Dragon to ride, there's nothing wrong with having one more skill and one more skill."
Zhao Xun said this, but in fact he felt a sense of crisis.
Because Pipi Xiabai Jiaolong has gained many new playmates since the Dragon Clan settled in Zhongnan Mountain.
Among them, the best one to play with is the Darkwing Giant Charizard.
This is Lauren's mount, originally it was always attached to Lauren.
Ever since he got to know the white dragon Pipi Xia, he has also become familiar with the white dragon.
Zhao Xun and Luo Lun were both ignored for a while. Logically speaking, they could join a group to keep warm.
But Zhao Xun thought about it and decided to forget it.
He always felt that it was strange to be with Lauren, but he couldn't explain why.
"Sword flying is actually difficult to do, easy to do."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan started pacing with his hands behind his back.
"Would you like me to show you how?"
"OK."
Now the Bamboo Forest Swordsman Yao Yan is deeply in love and cannot extricate himself, and Zhao Xun no longer has a sparring partner.
He could only explore alone, but this was too inefficient.
With his third senior brother Long Qingquan as his sparring partner, Zhao Xun can practice more efficiently.
"Whether it's flying with a sword or flying with a sword, to put it bluntly, it's all the same. The most important thing is that you have to use and control your Qi reasonably."
After Long Qingquan said this, he shouted loudly and saw his natal Flying Sword Burial Flower Sword unsheathed.
Long Qingquan jumped up with a light jump.
"Look, there's nothing difficult about this."
"Walk!"
Long Qingquan shouted, and then the sword began to fly out as if it felt something.
The speed is quite fast.
Good guy, I really didn’t expect Third Senior Brother to fly so steadily with his sword.
"Junior brother, aren't you already able to use flying knives? Flying knives means you control your infuriating energy to outline a line in advance, and then let the knife fly according to the trajectory you outlined in advance. In fact, flying with a sword is similar, except that
You don’t need to outline the trajectory in advance, but can adjust it as you go.”
After Long Qingquan said this, he began to fly in a flashy manner.
He stepped on the sword and flew very fast. Zhao Xun was amazed when he saw this.
Alas, it really looks much more handsome than flying on a dragon.
No wonder if you ask ten practitioners randomly, nine of them would like to be a swordsman. It’s because being a swordsman is so handsome.
"Third Senior Brother, I want to give it a try."
Zhao Xun was already drooling with greed.
Now that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, the sparring instructor, is on the side, Zhao Xun naturally has to perform well.
"Well, take out the knife first, use your flying knife technique, and then jump up."
Long Qingquan gave simple and clear guidance from the side.
"You have to be clear about one thing, that is, you must trust your sword and be one with the sword."
"Well"
Zhao Xun understood this in his heart, and then he shouted loudly and shouted, "Sword is coming."
Then the Minghong Sword suddenly flashed out of its scabbard.
Zhao Xun immediately jumped up lightly.
It's just that he has never tried this before, so it's inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed the first time he does it.
Compared with the lightness of his third senior brother Long Qingquan, he seemed a bit clumsy.
Zhao Xun almost fell off the flying knife, and finally managed to regain his balance.
"Third Senior Brother, this is too difficult to control."
"Junior brother, try your best to master your balance. If it doesn't work, recite the Concentration Technique silently."
The Dingshen Jue is the first mantra to maintain balance. Basically, as long as you recite it, you can quickly adjust your body position even when you are weightless.
But this mantra has a side effect, that is, for a long period of time after reciting it, the practitioner will be in a state of extreme thirst for balance.
Even when eating and sleeping, they will constantly adjust to achieve a perfect balance.
"good!"
But now Zhao Xun obviously doesn't care about this anymore.
He must adjust his physical condition in time, at least stabilize it first.
It would be too embarrassing if he fell off the flying sword out of nowhere.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, Zhao Xun hopes to make a good start and lay a good foundation.
In his opinion, as long as there is a good foundation, everything that follows will be simple.
The same goes for spiritual practice. You must not fall into a trap at the beginning.
I have to say that the effect of this calming technique is really good. Zhao Xun's body balance was much better just by reciting it once.
If he mastered the essence of this, it would be impossible for Zhao Xun to fall from the flying knife.
It has to be said that there are shortcuts to any practice.
Maybe you look like a cool and dashing person, but it's possible that he just took a shortcut.
If you really start a battle and compete, he is probably not much better than you.
"Yes, that's it. Junior brother did a great job."
Seeing how easily Zhao Xun controlled the balance of his body, Long Qingquan admired from the side: "Control your own balance, and the next step is to control the direction. Don't panic, don't be confused. Put your true
Force the Qi out, and then use the Qi to guide it. Yes, that's it."
Long Qingquan felt happy when he saw Zhao Xun becoming more and more proficient. He was even happier than when he learned to fly with a sword.
"Junior brother, come on, you are going to succeed."
Although Zhao Xun's performance is not perfect yet, it is already very good for a beginner. When Long Qingquan first learned to fly with a sword, he was far behind Zhao Xun.
It took Long Qingquan three full days to finally stand firm on the sword. But now it only took Zhao Xun less than an hour to be able to stand firmly on the sword.
This is really gratifying.
"Don't stop walking, keep walking."
Long Qingquan knew very well that the current link was critical. If the junior brother could work hard, he could easily complete the entire set of movements. But if he breathed a sigh of relief, the whole set of movements might be deformed or otherwise.
Situation. This is of course something Long Qingquan does not want to see.
"Junior brother, come on, you can do it!"
Long Qingquan kept cheering Zhao Xun up.
Because he knew very well that it would not be difficult for Zhao Xun to do this with his strength.
Maybe he was inspired by his third senior brother, or maybe he was inspired.
In short, Zhao Xunduan was full of energy at this moment.
"It's really unusual, tsk tsk."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan appreciated Zhao Xun's performance as if he were a work of art.
"Some people are really gifted in cultivation. They are the kind of people that God will reward them with, and they will not be able to survive without eating them."
Long Qingquan knew very well that in this state he could better stimulate Zhao Xun's talent.
After flying with the sword for about an hour, Zhao Xun was really exhausted.
Long Qingquan allowed him to jump off the flying knife and rest for a while.
"Junior brother, your sword-wielding debut is really good. I remember that when you, third senior brother, and I were flying with swords, we were not as dashing and heroic as you."
Long Qingquan held his chin with one hand, his eyes full of envy.
If nothing else, just say that my junior brother's speed in getting started is really enviable to others.
"Uh, Third Senior Brother, please stop praising me. You praise me so much that I feel embarrassed."
Zhao Xun was really ashamed.
Third Senior Brother is really capable of praising others, but he just did what a high-level practitioner should do.
Good guy, if a high-level practitioner doesn't even know how to fly with a sword, then it would make people laugh out loud.
What's more, this high-level cultivator is a closed disciple accepted by the Chief of the Academy, doesn't this mean that he has lost the face of both the Academy and the Chief?
Even if Zhao Xun doesn't think about himself, he can't help but think about the academy.
Sometimes people still have to stand up and work hard for the benefit of the collective.
"Oh, you should praise me. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Junior brother, you performed so well just now. I would feel a little sorry if I didn't reward you. Just wait here while I go and give you some."
You take an orange and eat it."
"."
Zhao Xun had no choice but to be taken advantage of by his third senior brother.
Who said he was Zhao Xun's third senior brother? He had an advantage in terms of seniority, and there was nothing Zhao Xun could do about it.
After that, Long Qingquan disappeared like a breeze.
After a while, Long Qingquan left and came back again, this time holding an orange in his hand.
Zhao Xun was speechless, but when he saw the third senior brother's extremely enthusiastic look, he couldn't help but chill the third senior brother's heart, so he could only make do with it.
Alas, Zhao Xun helplessly peeled off the orange peel and put a piece of orange into his mouth.
Damn, it’s really sour.
Third Senior Brother, could he have done it on purpose?
Zhao Xun felt that his whole body was not well for a moment.
"Uh, Third Senior Brother, can these oranges be a little more sour?"
"Is it sour? Let me taste it."
Long Qingquan put an orange into his mouth. It didn't matter if he bit it, it made him grin.
Even the fake beard that Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou glued on to him was so sore that it almost fell off.
"Hey, it's a little sour. Junior brother, it's my fault this time."
Long Qingquan smiled apologetically at Zhao Xun, and then said harmoniously: "Let's go back, and I'll make a salad for you. I've learned how to make salad now, and I've made some improvements, so I'm sure you can eat it.
Applaud."
"Well, that's good, I can have a feast."
After a hard workout in the bamboo forest, you should reward yourself well.
This is the concept that Zhao Xun has always adhered to.
But in his impression, the craftsmanship of the third senior brother Long Qingquan was really not that good.
Even the simplest salad can be turned into a dark dish in the hands of third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Zhao Xun was very nervous at the moment. Third Brother Xindao, you must not play with fire.
If this salad is also overturned this time, Zhao Xun will really never dare to taste any dishes cooked by the third senior brother again.
"Come on, little junior brother, come and have a taste of the freshly mixed salad."
When the third senior brother Long Qingquan brought out the salad, Zhao Xun had to admit that his eyes lit up.
At least this salad does look pretty good at first glance.
It looks so good, but I don't know how it tastes.
Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks, took a knife, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
I have to say that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan has really come to his senses.
As far as this salad is concerned, the craftsmanship has indeed improved a lot.
Some people are late bloomers, not only in learning, but also in craftsmanship and business.
The third senior brother is reflected in cooking.
If the third senior brother used to cook only dark dishes, the current third senior brother is able to cook good dishes.
Who could not love such a third senior brother?
Zhao Xun hopes that in the future, the third senior brother can achieve greater breakthroughs while maintaining his current skills, so that Zhao Xun will no longer have to hold the position of the master of the academy.
Zhao Xun finished the whole plate of salad at a lightning speed and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
"Third Senior Brother, aren't you good at cooking? Why didn't you cook well before?"
Faced with Zhao Xun's questioning, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan only felt that he was losing face.
"Ahem, well, in the past, I have always focused on my practice and not too much on cooking, so the dishes I made were somewhat inferior in terms of color, flavor and flavor. But now I am aware of this problem, so
We deliberately allocate time to this aspect, so you see, isn’t this much more delicious?”
Long Qingquan frantically went back to make up for it, which made Zhao Xun amused.
He thought to himself, Third Senior Brother, there is no need for you to be so anxious.
I just mentioned it and didn't say anything.
"That's it, can we bother Third Senior Brother with our breakfast, lunch, and dinner from now on?"
Faced with Zhao Xun's almost unreasonable request, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan unexpectedly patted his chest and said, "This is simple. Why is it so difficult? I'll take care of it."
Tsk tsk, Third Senior Brother is really a good senior brother.
It is said that a gentleman lives far away from the kitchen. It seems that Zhao Xun will no longer have to be the master of the academy.
Zhao Xun felt relieved that his third senior brother, Long Qingquan, was here.
As long as the third senior brother maintains his current level and does not experience a cliff-like decline, then everyone in the academy will definitely be in good luck.
"Your Majesty, have you really thought about it?"
Zheng Jie was very worried when he saw that Emperor Xianlong had made up his mind.
Now he is the only one who can barely say a few words to Emperor Xianlong, but even so, his words are far less convincing than before.
Ever since Emperor Xianlong favored Master Huiyan, Zheng Jie, along with Feng Hao and other confidants, fell out of favor.
In this case, Zheng Jie could only keep warm with Feng Hao.
Bad guys and internal guards have been secretly investigating Master Huiyan's identity, but judging from the current results, the results are not very good.
It is true that Master Huiyan is the Vajra Grandmaster of Buddhism in the Western Regions, but he hid and protected himself very well and did not show his fox tail.
But a fox is a fox, no matter how well you hide it, it can't change that.
No, Master Huiyan couldn't hold himself back anymore and actually asked Emperor Xianlong to give him a daughter from the clan for his dual cultivation.
How dare he?
Do you really think there is no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Daban, what do you mean? When did you become a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law like everyone else? If others don't understand me, don't you even understand me? Why are you doing this? Isn't it for Dazhou? Nowadays, people are different
Beasts and aliens have passed through the Dark Portal and come to our world. They also have the high priest of the Demon Sect as their inner support. Can’t you see the threat to the Great Zhou? Master Huiyan is now the strongest one I can unite with.
A great practitioner. His strength is even higher than yours. If I don’t show kindness to him, what if he turns his back and leaves? Do I have to rely on you to resist a group of top-notch masters by yourself? You can carry it.
Do you deserve this big flag?"
Emperor Xianlong's question made Zheng Jie stunned and speechless for a moment.
Yes, he really doesn't know how to give back.
Although he is a super-grade grandmaster, he belongs to the middle category among super-grade grandmasters.
Not only could he not be able to defeat the mountain chief, he might also be unable to defeat the high priest of the Demon Sect, not to mention the other practitioners.
If possible, Zheng Jie would also like to have a powerful grandmaster-level ally. But he doesn't want to sacrifice so many things in order to obtain this ally.
There is royal dignity in this.
This was simply more unacceptable to Zheng Jie than trampling on his own dignity.
"Your Majesty, let's not forget whether Master Huiyan has ulterior motives. Even if he really wants to form an alliance with us and do things for Your Majesty, if this happens, the prestige of the court will be completely lost, and the clan will become a laughing stock in the public. Your Majesty, this
Why bother?"
Zheng Jie's words made Emperor Xianlong silent for a while.
"Dad companion, didn't I just say that instead of asking the clan daughter to practice dual cultivation with Master Huiyan directly, I ordered the clan daughter to become a nun first and remove her name from the genealogy. In this way, she can no longer be regarded as a clan member.
Girl. I also said that I would wait until the limelight is over before letting her return to the secular world. By then she will already be a commoner, and even with Master Huiyan, she will have nothing to do with the royal family or the clan, so there is no need to worry about criticism from outsiders."
Zheng Jie disagreed with Emperor Xianlong's words.
What does it mean to let the daughter of the clan become a monk first and remove her name from the genealogy, and then return to secular life and practice dual cultivation with Master Huiyan?
After going in such a big circle, doesn’t it still mean the same thing in essence?
Does it make sense to go around and around?
People all over the world are not fools. Can't they see what this series of operations means? Don't they understand that this is just a deception?
The key is that it doesn't serve as a cover-up.
Zheng Jie simply collapsed.
"Your Majesty, what's the difference between doing this and hiding something? If it's an ordinary person, that's fine, but this is a daughter of the clan. If the kings knew about it, they wouldn't be angry to death."
"Humph, they are my sons, so they should obey my arrangements. Besides, I am not only a father but also a king. Do they want to disobey me and disrespect me?"
Emperor Xianlong looked very angry, waved his hand and said: "My dear friend, I thought you understood me, but I didn't expect you to be like those Confucian scholars who only talk about propriety, justice and shame. You really disappoint me."
."
Emperor Xianlong's words left Zheng Jie speechless.
Emperor Xianlong said this, what else could he say?
"Your Majesty, if you are really like this, this servant will be killed in the Zichen Palace."
Emperor Xianlong sneered and said: "My dear fellow, are you threatening me? But I am not stupid either. If you threaten me, can you do something more reliable? Are you killed in this hall? You are a superb practitioner.
, has an indestructible body. Even if your collision breaks the pillars in this hall, you will not be knocked out or killed? Yes, I can't do anything to you, but there is no need for you to step on it.
Teach me a lesson here on your nose and face. Don’t forget your identity, you are just a domestic slave raised by me.”
Emperor Xianlong's words were very hurtful. Zheng Jie felt bad after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I just said what I should say and fulfilled my responsibilities. If Your Majesty feels that what I said is inappropriate, just treat it as if I didn't say it. I will leave."
After saying that, Zheng Jie turned and left.
He had grown up with Emperor Xianlong, and he had never been so disappointed with Emperor Xianlong. But this time he really couldn't bear it anymore.
That's it, let's do whatever it takes to love.
Zheng Jie will still try his best to maintain the dignity of the Zhou royal family, but if Emperor Xianlong wants to trample on it severely, Zheng Jie will have nothing to do.
After mastering the flying knife technique and sword flying one after another, Zhao Xun was obviously in a good mood.
As his cultivation level increased, Zhao Xun's talent tree became more and more full, and he was now a fully developed practitioner.
this point is very important.
Most practitioners in this world specialize in one skill.
For example, a swordsman can only use a sword, and a swordsman can only use a sword.
Rarely does one person hold multiple hats and be omnipotent.
It just so happens that Zhao Xun is taking this route. He wants to be an all-round warrior in the spiritual world.
Some people say that being omnipotent means being unable to do anything.
This is not the case.
Almighty means that the practitioner can cope with various emergencies.
As for whether it is good at everything or not at all, it actually depends on the person who cultivates his mind.
If this practitioner has perseverance and determination, he will definitely be able to quickly improve every aspect of his cultivation so that he has no shortcomings.
Zhao Xun's current realm is the fourth level. If he wants to cross the threshold of the third level, he must dig deeper into his potential.
It's not easy to do this.
Because every practitioner has limitations and resistance.
When exposed to his resistance, all practitioners will instinctively retract themselves into a shell.
It will be difficult to come out of the shell again.
Zhao Xun is trying his best to downplay this shell, but that does not mean that this shell does not exist.
At least from now on, he seems to be in good control.
"Junior brother, what we are practicing today is restraining the breath."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan now takes on the important task of sparring with Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun was very grateful for this.
Although the third senior brother's hard power is somewhat inferior to that of the Bamboo Forest Swordsman Yao Yan, the third senior brother is better than the third senior brother because of his steadfastness and patience.
Well, he didn't mean that Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, was impatient. Maybe it was because Yao Yan had someone else in his heart now, so he couldn't put all his energy into teaching Zhao Xun.
In this case, what Zhao Xun had to face was that Yao Yan got distracted while practicing and had to rely on him to call him back in person.
This seems a bit embarrassing.
But Third Senior Brother will not have this problem. Third Senior Brother is a real single.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of Third Senior Brother, women will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword.
Therefore, the third senior brother will not be affected by emotional problems and thus affect Zhao Xun's training plan.
Zhao Xun is currently on the rise and urgently needs a complete training plan to improve himself.
If he can get systematic training, Zhao Xun's improvement speed will be greatly improved.
"Okay, but third senior brother, what does it mean to bind the breath?"
Zhao Xun was obviously very excited when he heard this term for the first time.
"Well, the so-called restraining breath is of course restraining the true energy and vitality. But it is not binding the practitioner's own breath, but binding the opponent's breath, so that his breath cannot surge during the duel, so that he can be in the duel.
time to gain an absolute advantage.”
After hearing what the third senior brother said, Zhao Xun became very excited for a moment.
Good guy, that sounds awesome.
If it is true what the third senior brother said, it is indeed worth learning.
This thing is simply tactical.
By limiting your opponent's aura, your chances of winning will be greatly improved.
If possible, it may even directly kill the opponent.
How could Zhao Xun hear of such a powerful murder weapon for the first time?
"Third Senior Brother, do you have to reach the fourth level before you can learn and use this breath-binding spell?"
Curious Zhao Xun asked.
"good."
Long Qingquan nodded and said: "It's just a specialized spell for high-level practitioners. It's impossible for those below the fourth level to learn it. So I didn't even mention it to you at the beginning, just because I was afraid that it would be counterproductive after you learn it."
Zhao Xun understood.
What stage to do at what stage, this is true even for mortals, not to mention practitioners.
Practitioners are actually enhanced versions of mortals, and there is essentially no difference between the two.
"Third Senior Brother, I have another question. If the opponent's strength level is stronger than mine, can I use this method to restrain his true energy and vitality?"
"This actually doesn't matter. Even if the opponent's realm is higher than yours, you can still restrain his vitality or true energy. Maybe you can only restrain a small part of it, maybe you can restrain all of it, but you can only restrain it for a long time.
A short period of time. But no matter what, you can limit and restrain his Qi. This is true even for a super master."
Hiss, is it so powerful?
Zhao Xun always felt that this spell sounded so terrifying.
If you really think what third senior brother Long Qingquan said, then this binding technique can be called the most powerful spell.
He could also understand what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said. Different practitioners have different strengths, but no matter how powerful they are, they can all use this strength, which is the so-called realization.
However, due to the disparity in strength between the two parties, the specific aspect of this realized strength is the difference in restriction.
The smaller the strength gap between the two sides, the more obvious this restriction will be.
On the contrary, if the strength gap between the two sides is very large, then this restriction will also be very different.
"Third Senior Brother, let's get started."
Zhao Xun rubbed his palms together repeatedly, eager to start this training.
"Wait a minute."
Unexpectedly, the third senior brother Long Qingquan interrupted: "Before starting the formal training, let me ask you a question."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Third Senior Brother, please speak."
"Are you able to use your Qi freely now? I mean, can you plan how to use it reasonably?"
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "It should be possible. I can clearly see every bundle of true energy in the sea of consciousness. I can also use each bundle of true energy reasonably when using it."
"This is it."
Long Qingquan nodded happily and said: "Junior brother, you have now entered a new stage. Practitioners at this stage have perfect control over their own true energy. It is the perfect time to learn the restraint technique at this time."
After hearing this, Zhao Xun was filled with joy. At first, he was really worried that his innate qualifications were somewhat insufficient.
But from now on, it seems that everything is ready.
Zhao Xun doesn't have to worry about this at all, he just needs to let go, learn to let go, and train.
With his qualifications, it is not difficult to learn the restraint technique.
What's more, there are good teachers like Third Senior Brother on the side to give guidance.
Zhao Xun is very aware of how powerful the third senior brother is.
He also believed that the third senior brother would spare no effort to guide him and teach him this spell.
"Generally speaking, people think that true energy or vitality is invisible. In fact, it is not the case. In my opinion, true energy or vitality is a semi-intangible state. Why is it said to be semi-intangible? Because in some specific situations
Under certain conditions, the true energy can be gathered together to form a certain shape."
As soon as the Long Qingquan Lecture Hall started, Zhao Xun listened very carefully.
He pays great attention to every word spoken by the third senior brother, because in his opinion, every word may play an important role in the future.
"So if we want to bind the enemy's breath, we must be proficient in mastering our own breath and be able to transform at will. This is why I asked you before if you are proficient in mastering your own breath."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan paused and said: "Now we are going to do a test. Junior brother, try to gather your own breath and gather it into the shape of a white dragon."
What?
Although Zhao Xun was listening attentively, he was still shocked when he heard this instruction from the third senior brother.
"Is this serious?"
"Of course, how would you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan's attitude was very determined, which forced Zhao Xun to try.
After all, this doesn't sound very difficult, otherwise Third Senior Brother wouldn't have said so categorically and not given Zhao Xun a chance to choose at all.
Zhao Xun then sat cross-legged, then floated up into the air and entered meditation.
At this moment, Zhao Xun has entered the sea of consciousness.
"What did you see, little junior brother?"
Long Qingquan paid close attention to Zhao Xun's condition from beginning to end, and asked repeatedly to confirm.
"I saw the vast sea."
Zhao Xun's sea of consciousness is currently in a state of chaos, and he needs to concentrate on extracting it and then shaping it.
"Extract your awe-inspiring righteousness and shape it into the shape of a white dragon."
Zhao Xun said something from the side.
"good."
Zhao Xun naturally followed the advice of his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
At this moment, he could only choose to trust Long Qingquan.
Zhao Xun quickly extracted his true energy from the vast sea of consciousness in bunches.
This feeling is very strange, just like a few beams of light shooting out of the air sea created by dry ice.
The feeling of light penetrating through the fog made Zhao Xun feel crazy.
“Very unusual”
Zhao Xun thought this feeling was wonderful, and he enjoyed it very much.
Unexpectedly, the third senior brother Long Qingquan urged him from the side: "Hurry up, little junior brother, hurry up."
"Well"
It seems that his speed of extracting Qi is a bit slow, otherwise the third senior brother Long Qingquan wouldn't be making noises like a duck.
That’s all, let’s concentrate on gathering the Qi as quickly as possible with maximum strength.
"Come on, extract all the energy."
Good guy, Zhao Xun was really surprised when he heard these words from his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Third senior brother is really ruthless in extracting all the true energy.
Zhao Xun has never made such an attempt, so he doesn't know whether he can succeed.
But how will you know if it doesn’t work if you don’t try?
At least for now, he still has the possibility of success.
Zhao Xun concentrated on gathering his true energy and abandoned all distracting thoughts.
Because in his opinion, even the slightest negligence may lead to the leakage of true energy.
"Okay, that's it. Junior brother, don't be distracted and hold on."
I have to say that the step-by-step instructions from Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan are indeed very effective. At least it seems that Zhao Xun has mastered the key points.
"How do you feel now? Junior brother?"
"Well, Third Senior Brother, I feel that my whole body is hot and hot now, and I can clearly feel the true energy pushing out."
"That's right, hold on, you must force all the energy out of your body."
Generally speaking, practitioners rarely force all the true energy out of the body. At most, they extract a part of the true energy.
However, the binding technique requires the practitioner to drain all his true energy without retaining any of it.
This is actually a kind of bet.
Although there is a risk of failure, there is also a possibility of success.
But if you don't even have the courage to use all your energy to gamble, it is doomed to fail.
Zhao Xun felt that his body temperature was getting hotter and hotter, just like the state a person experiences before fainting due to heatstroke.
If his third senior brother, Long Qingquan, hadn't been telling him that this was normal and harmless, Zhao Xun would have really panicked.
But since the third senior brother said so, Zhao Xun knew that the third senior brother would definitely not harm him.
What he needs to do now is to control his emotions as much as possible and not let them fluctuate due to the extraction of Qi.
After all, practitioners are human beings with flesh and blood.
As a human being, there will definitely be mood swings, but Zhao Xun will try his best to suppress them, so that even if mood swings occur, they will be controlled within a relatively small range.
this point is very important.
Slowly, Zhao Xun could feel that his true energy was being extracted.
His whole body also became very weak.
"Third Senior Brother, something doesn't seem right. Although I have extracted all the Qi, it seems that I am too weak now. How can I complete the restraint under such circumstances?"
Zhao Xun seemed weak when he said these words.
Long Qingquan smiled and said: "Junior brother, you have misunderstood this. It is actually very simple to complete the restraint. Now you think of these strands of true energy as bamboo knots, and then you exhale to remove these true qi. The qi is bound together, just like the bamboo joints are put together to form a bamboo raft."
"Well"
Although Zhao Xun didn't quite understand it, he thought it sounded very powerful.
"good."
In the end, Zhao Xun decided to obey the order.
"call!"
Zhao Xun exhaled a breath, which drifted directly towards the streams of true energy not far away.
These infuriating energy are now standing straight there, like light beams.
Then something amazing happened. These originally isolated zhenqi bundles were actually connected, like bamboo rafts.
"It's successful, Third Senior Brother, I'm successful."
At this moment, Zhao Xun was as excited as a child.
Although he knew very well that he had only completed the first step, it was still difficult to conceal his inner joy.
"Very good, little junior brother, you have done a good job so far. The next step is the most critical step. You imagine me as your enemy, and then use the zhenqi beam you just strung together to restrain me. It depends on you Thoughts!"
Long Qingquan encouraged and taught Zhao Xun the secret.
