Chapter 342 The magic knife, can I practice it too?
This may be called world line constriction, or maybe most people in the martial arts world with problematic personalities don't like to be restrained, so they set up their secluded places in no-mind areas like the border.
However, Lu Xun has a saying that is true freedom when the heart is free! If you are always tied down by the past, you will never get true freedom no matter where you are, not to mention that the power of unification has been instilled in the world now, and the future
This place will eventually welcome its owner.
Gate of life and death!
This place is really remote. What's a bit annoying is that this place is so close to the Valley of the Wicked. As long as you stand on the mountain and shout in the distance, people in the Valley of the Wicked may be able to hear you.
"Don't follow me, I'm going to get angry."
Zuo Zhou howled, frightening several gangsters who were following him from a distance. They fell over and ran away. There is no doubt that these are people from the Evil Valley. They are probably afraid that Zuo Zhou will come in and kill them, so
Only then did he keep an eye on Zuo Zhou's every move. After all, their previous actions in the border town were very public.
"In Da Qin, such blatant evil forces are not allowed to exist!" Zhan Zhao spoke in an old official tone.
Zhan Hongling nodded, but Zuo Zhou waved his hand casually, "Small problem, we have already expressed Great Qin's attitude by occupying the border town, but if we send heavy troops here, it will have another meaning. Let me introduce this evil man.
Gu Duo should be arrogant for a while."
Zhan Zhao nodded but looked at Zuo Zhou thoughtfully, "What do you think of the war between Song and Qing?"
“I’ll watch it while traveling!”
"..."
Zuo Zhou's irregularity from time to time was quite frustrating, but Cao Zhengchun next to him thought for a while and said: "From the Sa family's point of view, if the monarch of the Song Dynasty can make a desperate effort to confront the Qing Dynasty with superior force, then this battle can still be fought.
. But if the troops are sent to the front line little by little, looking forward and backward, I am afraid that this battle will definitely be defeated! And if the monarch of the Qing Dynasty is not stupid, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity when Tang, Ming, Daqin and other countries are busy appeasing the internal affairs, and send this battle to the front line.
A fight to the end."
Zhan Zhao didn't expect that this young eunuch would have such insight, so he smiled and said, "Then what do you think our Da Qin should do?"
Cao Zhengchun said without hesitation: "You should bite off a piece of meat from the Song Dynasty! You must eat this part of the benefits, even if you don't send troops, because if you don't eat it, other countries will look down upon you and feel that your
The problem is serious, and even if there is an advantage, we don’t take advantage of it. Sometimes, countries can’t reason with each other!”
Zuo Zhou, who had been silent just now, suddenly became happy, "Who said we didn't send troops? Aren't we in the Song Dynasty?"
Zhan Zhao and others were stunned, but Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists in admiration and saluted, "General Li's deeds of cutting off half of the Turkic mountains and rivers with a letter have always been a good story in the court!"
"Small scene!"o(′^｀)o
Zuo Zhou had an arrogant expression on his face, but in his heart he didn't think that the situation would develop as they thought. What Cao Zhengchun just said was right. If this ready-made benefit is not taken advantage of, the next one to be coveted is very likely.
Da Qin. In the eyes of some people, your watching will be seen as weakness.
But the problem now is that Hu Hai is not an emperor who dares to open up new territories and expand his territory. He lacks a bloody spirit. Judging from his attitude towards the current Turks, he is more inclined to maintain the status quo.
Of course, this is not to say that this is bad. After all, he also made many ideas to benefit the people. Although many of them were under the influence of Zhao Gao, he was not necessarily worse than other emperors in terms of peaceful development.
It’s just that the current situation does not allow him to develop with peace of mind. Under the influence of the power of unity, other countries are bound to speed up the process of annexation. The way of supporting war with war is the best rule of the game today!
Zuo Zhou thought for a moment and arrived at the Gate of Life and Death. The place where the First Evil Emperor lived in seclusion was very atmospheric. It was obviously a cave, but the door was made into the shape of a black and white yin and yang fish. But the surrounding barren mountains and rivers were not at all.
The meaning of Xianfeng Daogu seems a bit strange.
"As expected of someone who has been obsessed with magic for decades. This address is really remote."
The Second Sword Emperor ignored Zuo Zhou's complaints, raised his head slightly, and the Second Meng sensibly stepped forward and called the door.
"Uncle Evil Emperor, I am Second Dream. I am here to find you. Come out and see me!"
Everyone around looked very surprised. Second Meng, who usually has an iceberg temperament, could actually shout such a coquettish tone, which was a bit cute.
However, the Second Sword Emperor was obviously a little dissatisfied. In his view, this was completely unsuitable for practicing ruthless martial arts.
"You have grown so old, time flies so fast. How is your father?"
A very kind voice came from inside the door. It was inexplicably like Mr. Ximen back then, which made Zuo Zhou feel a little emotional. This is a kind of indifferent character after having no worries. Mr. Ximen was like this before he came to the Imperial Capital.
, at that time he had already expected that he might die.
"Uncle Evil Emperor, my father is very good, he is here too."
"Then I won't come out."
"..."
Everyone looked at the Second Sword Emperor with strange eyes. Did you do something so outrageous that people hate you so much?
The Second Sword Emperor felt angry and shouted: "Either change your surname, or come out and fight me!"
Huh? Everyone looked at him again. Aren’t we here to solve the problem of being possessed? You are causing trouble!
"Then I'll change my last name!"
"..."
The Second Sword Emperor's face was so dark that he was about to drip with ink. He had no idea that a person who had been number one in everything since he was a child could actually be so rogue.
The second dream can't be solved, so how can it be called a door?
Qin Shuang rolled his eyes, and he, as a senior brother, had to take action. At this time, he couldn't rely on favors, he had to express his feelings directly.
"Junior Qin Shuang, you have taken the liberty to visit me. It turns out that your junior brother is in danger of being possessed by a demon. I hope you can get some advice from my seniors!"
"..."
Silence, silence that no one disturbs, everyone understands that the other person is thinking, but the thinking time is a bit long, just an hour.
"Why don't you wait here first? We have official duties after all, so we won't wait here with you." Zuo Zhou yawned. It's more important to find Zhan Qi. Who has the time to accompany you to play tricks here.
"So it's not you who wants to become a demon?"
"..."
Everyone was shocked. Although this was a question, the affirmative tone in the words revealed the fact that Zuo Zhou was also possessed?
Zuo Zhou was also surprised for a moment, "After all, he is a person who has been obsessed with the devil for decades. The time I spent before and after being possessed by the devil is less than a quarter of an hour. You can feel this too."
Boom boom boom, the black and white stone door slowly opened under the action of the mechanism, and an old man in gray clothes slowly walked out. His hair was disheveled and slovenly, but his eyes were exceptionally clear and shining.
"You...your hands!" The Second Sword Emperor glared angrily, "Well, you, in order to avoid the duel with me, even cut off both arms."
The First Evil Emperor glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much, it's not because of you."
The Second Sword King: "..."
I saw the First Evil Emperor looking at Zuo Zhou and Nie Feng, "I just tested your patience by waiting. One of you is indifferent and casual, and the other is calm and kind-hearted, knowing how to advance and retreat. You are all materials for learning my magic sword skills."
"Oh, I still have a share!" Zuo Zhou was pleasantly surprised, and there was an unexpected gain!
Nie Feng was a little happy, although he still didn't know what the magic sword was.
The First Evil Emperor continued: "The splendid and righteous martial arts cannot be mastered overnight. In order to resist the masters of the Shinto, I took advantage of the demonic path and tried to find another way to improve my skills. Unfortunately, I have been too competitive in my life, and I have become a demon.
I made mistakes during this period and regretted them beyond words! Fortunately, the death of a close relative woke me up and made me turn around... I ask you, what are you obsessed with?"
Nie Feng paused slightly, knowing that the next answer would determine whether he could learn the magic sword, but... he couldn't lie at this time.
"Father's revenge has not been avenged! The fire unicorn has reappeared to cause harm to the world!"
Nie Feng's eyes were extremely firm. Instead of being disappointed in the eyes of the First Evil Emperor, he smiled and said: "The right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life. You have the courage to risk death and survive, and you have a kind and tolerant nature. It is exactly the right way to practice the magic sword."
The best candidate.”
Zuo Zhou patted Nie Feng's shoulder and extended a thumbs up.
"And you?"
The first thing that came to Zuo Zhou's mind was to find Zhan Shiqi, but compared with Nie Feng's goal of slaying demons and protecting the Tao, it would be a bit shameful to find him.
After thinking for a while he said: “I don’t have enough wives!”
"..." The First Evil Emperor stared at him numbly, "Well, that's the truth! From the look in your eyes at the woman traveling with you, we can see that indulging in lust is not lustful, but it is also a principled expression. It's okay.
Practice the magic sword...but I don't think you can do it."
Zuo Zhou's smile faded, who was he looking down on?
"Come with me!"
Everyone followed the First Evil Emperor into the cave, but the Second Sword Emperor was alone there and was having trouble. They thought they could have a happy fight, but who knew that they actually cut off their hands by some trick that turned them around. In this case, how could I?
Isn’t it true that we will never be able to defeat the Demon Sword?
What's the difference between playing mahjong and leaving after winning one? At least you have to complete one round!
The First Evil Emperor didn't care about that, and led everyone to the depths of the cave. As he walked, he said: "The so-called devil is not completely evil. It pays attention to single-mindedness, and only focuses on being strong and competitive throughout its life. Only by defeating the opponent can it be defeated."
Hou Kuai. One intention means that there is no second intention, only ruthless killing intent, forgetting all past friendships and sorrows. So from this point of view, what the magic sword actually emphasizes is persistence!"
The Second Sword King snorted coldly, "Being competitive! He is obsessed with killing! What is the difference between this and my ruthless way of swordsmanship?"
The First Evil Emperor ignored him and continued: "I have been gifted with extraordinary talents in my life. I have always been number one in everything I did since I was a child, so my obsession to compete is stronger than anyone else. From this point of view, I am
It is very suitable for practicing the magic sword. But... precisely because of this, I am also the least suitable. Because once you become a demon, you will be unable to turn back due to obsession and completely deviate from humanity. It was only after I made a big mistake that I understood,
The real secret of the magic sword is not complete persistence, but control. Only by controlling on the edge of obsession and reason can the true power of the magic sword be exerted!"
Everyone had their own feelings after hearing the words, and Nie Feng, who had been possessed by a demon, was even more thoughtful. Zuo Zhou suddenly recalled what Master Jianchi said at the beginning, 'A great Buddhist master, becoming a demon is just like playing!'
