Time passed by, seven days passed by like a white horse, and before we knew it, September was here.
[The first day of September, the year of Guimao, the month of Renxu, the day of Bingwu, appropriate...]
Jiang Li stopped his calculations and looked away from the calendar displayed on the causal set.
The emperor reversed the celestial clock and returned autumn to spring. Nowadays, the climate near the divine capital is difficult to match the celestial clock, so there will naturally be large or small errors in calendar divination.
Although calendars are generally based on celestial phenomena, climate is also an integral part of it, not to mention that today's climate is not a natural evolution, but is caused by someone's will.
'In addition, the Divine Capital is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the hub of Qi, and there are three levels... Now I am afraid that even the master will find it difficult to do divination like a god, right?'
Jiang Li has discovered that his current divination accuracy is no longer as good as it was seven days ago, and Tianxuan has most likely been affected as well.
Perhaps, she suddenly had to make up lessons for herself seven days ago, not only because of the words of the two elders Tianji and Wuqu, but also because she sensed the confusion around the divine capital and was worried that Jiang Li would be defeated.
'The water in the divine capital is really deep.'
This thought flashed through my mind, and then disappeared, leaving only a calm state, restoring my calmest mind.
Jiang Li walked slowly and slowly along the path towards the shooting dragon platform.
······
······
Shejiotai is located on Dongshan Mountain adjacent to Longyuan Lake. It is a huge rock halfway up the mountain.
The huge boulder is suspended in the air, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. It is supported by several rocks, as if it is teetering. Most of the volume is outside the mountain, which is extremely steep. There is a plane about three feet in diameter on the top, with two faint footprints on it, one in front of it.
It is said that it was left behind by the first emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
The Ji family and the Jiang family both originated from the northwest, and their ancestral land was not conducive to building a capital, so they had to find another place. After calculation by Yi Dao, the ancestors of the two families finally selected three thousand miles around Longyuan Lake as their capital.
This is the beginning of the dynasty.
At that time, Longyuan Lake was under the jurisdiction of a dragon king. He was dissatisfied with the two clans and resisted, and finally had a life-or-death showdown near the Shejiao Platform.
At that time, Taizu stood on the huge stone on the east mountain, took the bow of Qiankun, and twisted the sky-shaking arrow. One arrow calmed the wind and rain, another arrow quelled the flood, and one arrow killed the Dragon King. In this way, Longyuan Lake was settled.
This matter is recorded in history books, and it must be true.
Later, this place was called "Shooting Dragon Terrace". Because the dragon was used as a totem in the Zhou Dynasty, the name was ominous, so the dragon was relegated to Jiao, and it was changed to "Shejiao Terrace".
Yuan Zhen designated this place as a place for duel, and he also had the courageous idea of either life or death.
Time has arrived at noon, when Yang Qi is at its peak. A large number of people have gathered near Shejiao Platform early in the morning, and various boats have gathered on the water of Longyuan Lake.
The light and shadow flickered, and three Taoists, one old, one middle-aged and one young, appeared on a hilltop in Dongshan.
The old man was the person who spoke to Mr. Tsing Yi that day, Dan Xuzi, the Taoist sect's alchemy master. The middle-aged Taoist looked just past his age, with slender forehead and eyebrows, a long beard, a double bun on his head, and a wide robe with long sleeves.
Wearing silk and hemp shoes, his temperament floats out of the dust, but his manners are leisurely and leisurely, not like Youdao Quanzhen, but like a hermit in the countryside.
As for the young man, he is naturally Zhang Daoyi, a close disciple of Lord Dao.
It's just that today's Zhang Daoyi's Qi is stronger than in the past, and his movements are automatically followed by strong winds. Apparently, it is because his skill has greatly improved in a short period of time and it is difficult to restrain.
He was promoted.
Seeing his situation, Dan Xuzi sighed softly: "If we can obtain the Tao Fruit of Chunyang Master, with my junior brother's foundation, his skill will be increased by another 30%, and he can control his heart. Junior brother, why bother to be promoted in a hurry, wait until Yuan Yuan
If we really take back the Dao Fruit, we can make the Chunyang Master Dao Fruit advance to the One and Only."
"But if this is the case, wouldn't it put an additional burden on Junior Nephew Yuan Zhen?"
Zhang Daoyi slowly shook his head and said: "Pindao would rather want Master Yuan Zhen's nephew to fight for himself than to fight for me. For the Taoist fruits obtained in this way, Pindao deserves it."
"Hypocritical!" the middle-aged Taoist sneered when he heard this.
"Junior Brother Wenxu!" Dan Xuzi couldn't help but frown.
"But it's good to be pretentious," Taoist Wenxu added, "the difficulty of practicing Tao and fruit cultivation is much lower than that of ancient cultivation, so many practitioners ignore the practice of state of mind. You can give up some desires for your own state of mind.
, this harvest alone is better than the ability to tolerate the uniqueness of the Tao and Fruit. Anyway, it’s not like you have no way to improve your skills.”
Practitioners of the Dao-Guo system will find it difficult to improve their skills after reaching a certain limit, because their skills all come from themselves. After their potential is tapped, they need promotion to increase the upper limit.
But the ancient cultivation method can draw the energy of heaven and earth to make breakthroughs. Zhang Daoyi actually can make progress all the way even if he doesn't have the Tao Fruit in his body.
For him, the ability of the unique path and fruit is not too important.
"This makes junior brother even more ashamed. Just for the sake of this unimportant Taoist fruit, Junior Nephew Yuan Zhen has to fight to the death with that Taoist Friend Jiang..." Zhang Daoyi's wry smile became even louder.
"It's not necessarily because of you."
But the writing team shook his head and said: "One of you was promoted, and the other assisted Yuan Zhen in refining alchemy. I don't know the news that has been circulating in the divine capital in recent days. I heard that the death of the Jiang family in Yun County was related to the fourth prince. Now the fourth prince has accommodated Yun.
The three-corpse divine fruit of the Jiang family in the county.”
"Three Corpse Gods?!" Dan Xuzi raised his brows slightly with a sharp look on his face, "Is this true?"
As a major Taoist sect, the Daode Sect would naturally not know what the Three Corpse Gods represented, and on that day, Zhang Daoyi and Yuan Zhen were in the same place as the fourth prince.
The Three Corpse Gods can provoke other people's thoughts. If the fourth prince stirs up Yuan Zhen's delusional thoughts at a critical moment, then...
Not only Dan Xuzi, but also Zhang Daoyi's face had a ray of evil aura.
If this rumor is true, then Yuan Zhen may have interfered with people's promotions, and the Fourth Prince may have contributed to it.
Quietly, the fourth prince gained another enemy.
After hearing the news, Zhang Daoyi was filled with murderous intentions, but he also concealed his shame in disguise. When Dan Xuzi saw this, his eyes moved slightly, and he sent a message to Wen Xu: "Are you sure that the fourth prince made a move?"
"How can this be determined? Now that the Dinghu sect is here, there is no reason for it. It would be good if it can prevent Junior Brother Dao Yi from having a mental disorder," Taoist Wenxu replied casually through a message, "Anyway, Ji Chengyuan has deep feelings in his heart."
It's unethical and has something to do with Yuan Zhen, so it doesn't hurt to take the blame again."
"Hey, that person is here. The people from the Dinghu Sect are here."
As Taoist Wenxu spoke, he looked towards a mountain peak not far away.
I saw the stars emerging on the mountain peak, turning into stars, and three figures appeared among the changing stars. An invincible energy enveloped the top and bottom of the mountain, making it impossible for others to climb up the mountain.
Tianxuan, Tianji, Wuqu, and three elders from the Dinghu sect also arrived.
Tianxuan was dressed in a Yue White House outfit, her face covered with gauze, and with a pair of moon-like eyes looking from afar, a faint starlight suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain here.
"It seems that today we have to decide whether to live or die." Taoist Wenxu exhaled softly and said.
If the elders of both parties have not arrived, or one party has arrived and the other has not, it means there is still room for concession, but if both parties have arrived, there is no room for change.
The elders from the Daode Sect arrived first because they wanted to inquire about the attitude of the Dinghu Sect. If the other party chose not to show up, it meant that they did not want to establish a conflict. If the other party showed up directly and demonstrated with their eyes, it meant that the Dinghu Sect did not want to show up.
The Lake Party refused.
Next, it’s up to everyone to do their own thing.
"Forget it, let's all rely on our own abilities." Dan Xuzi appeared in the Taiqing Immortal Light and swept away the quietly dispersed star energy.
At the same time, other people around the Shooting Dragon Platform were also eagerly waiting for the two protagonists to appear.
Time passed slowly, and when the sun was shining brightly, two figures appeared almost at the same time.
Cutting through the floating clouds, conquering thousands of mountains, a sword coming from the west, the sword shakes the wind and clouds.
Yuan Zhen came with his sword, and the five-color sword light shot down from the sky like a rainbow, hitting the dragon platform.
On Longyuan Lake, the young master in Tsing Yi was standing on a small boat. Seeing this scene, his eyes became dark.
"In the end, I still chose to win." He sighed softly.
Whether seeking truth or seeking victory, Dan Xuzi would never ignore the opinions he had given. But if Yuan Zhen made the decision himself, Dan Xuzi could only help.
"It is said that Jiang Li has lost his spirit, but now it seems that it is you who has really lost his spirit." The young master in Tsing Yi said softly.
However, the loss of vigor is replaced by stronger strength.
The light of the sword fell on the stage, and Yuan Zhen appeared. The five-colored sword energy behind him stood like a pillar of heaven. The sword's power was overwhelming, and sword shadows seemed to flash from all directions.
In contrast, Jiang Li seems to have no vitality, and his body is like a phantom, clearly reflected in his eyes. But if he suddenly shifts his sight slightly, he will find that Jiang Li has completely disappeared from his perception, as if he does not exist.
generally.
It was as if he had turned into the wind, merged with the light, and merged with the heaven and earth.
"Zhengzhengzhengzheng·······"
The sound of swords came from all directions.
Jiang Li seemed to be gone, but as he moved, the power of heaven and earth was also moving and moving, crushing the flashing shadow of the sword, and everywhere he passed there was a sound like a broken sword.
He came riding on the wind, leaving countless transparent and broken sword shadows behind him. His steps touched the Shooting Dragon Platform, and the Qi machines collided, creating a storm out of thin air.
"I've lost my spirit."
Jiang Li's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he was insightful, "But this tragedy... it seems that you are already prepared to die."
"If you don't have such awareness, how can you dare to go up here?" Yuan Zhen said calmly.
Now that things have come to this, is it possible that we can still turn hostility into friendship by saying, "Hey, can we reconcile?"
Whether it is due to their own determination, state of mind, or due to factors such as the reputation and stance of the sect, everyone must die on the Shooting Dragon Platform today.
Yuan Zhen's obstruction of Jiang Li's promotion was tantamount to a life-and-death feud. Jiang Li had tried so hard to force him to this point, so how could he give up?
Jiang Li holds information about Yuan Zhen, and although spreading it will not damage the foundation of Tao De Sect, it will ultimately hinder the lintel, and the two sides have already formed a grudge that is difficult to resolve. Yuan Zhen naturally wants to eradicate it.
