Chapter 2: Refining the Spirit of Refining, Danger Suddenly Approaches
"I just knew it wouldn't work!"
Under the careful surveillance of Xiaohuangmen, Gu Cheng, who was scolded by He Hou, lowered his head, sat on the imperial chariot, and headed towards the living courtyard.
The underage prince did not have his own mansion, so he lived with Queen He in the East Palace.
In this world, the East Palace covers an area of thousands of acres, which is simply larger than the entire imperial city on earth. Fortunately, there is this large chariot made of empty gold and floating moon feathers. Otherwise, a thin young man like Gu Cheng would be so light.
If you are in a hurry, you will be almost exhausted.
The wind was flying along the way, and soon a faintly glowing courtyard appeared in sight. It was several acres in circumference, with pavilions, pavilions, and swaying bamboos. There was a trickle of water everywhere in the courtyard, goldfish were playing, kingfishers were coming and going, and the fairy spirit was thick.
He was weak and sick when he was young. In order to avoid dying young like the previous princes, He later entrusted him to the Taoist master Shi Zixuan, who lived in a Taoist temple until he was brought back a year ago.
In order to let his son get used to it, He Hou ordered the magicians to build the courtyard within an hour. The scene at that time was a huge shock to Gu Cheng.
"It's a pity that such a powerful royal family, the most powerful force in the world, will fall apart in five years, and the Central Plains will fall into the most chaotic period!"
Xiao Huangmen was lying on the ground, and Gu Cheng stepped on their backs and walked down, feeling the vastness of the imperial power, with emotion in his eyes.
"His Royal Highness is back!" An old man from Zhonghuangmen led two teams of palace maids to welcome him, and said with lowered hands.
"Zhang Yu, get my elixir!" Gu Cheng said, walking inside.
A wisp of smoke blew in and swirled around his body. The imperial robe he had worn to meet Queen He was gone, replaced by a dark red robe with dragon patterns that made his weak body stand tall and majestic.
"Your Highness, please take the elixir!" The old eunuch clapped his hands, and immediately two palace maids presented the brocade box with a crystal clear elixir inside.
This elixir is very strange. There are seven holes scattered on it in an orderly manner. A stream of bright air flows through it, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. Just smelling it makes people feel refreshed and energetic.
endless.
The palace maid couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw it. This magical elixir was really too tempting for ordinary people, but Gu Cheng just threw it into his mouth casually like eating jelly beans and chewed it.
A huge flow of air spread from the abdomen to the limbs and bones in an instant. However, a red light flashed and the medicinal power disappeared, as if nothing had been taken.
"The Qiqiao Linglong Pill is an elixir refined from the dragon cauldron, the first mysterious weapon of the Han royal family. The direct descendants of the royal family can only take one pill per month. Since I returned to the palace, I have been taking it every day. If it were other people, it would be a long time ago."
He has soared into the sky, but he still cannot awaken the dragon spirit. Is it possible that with this qualification, he is still the legendary waste material?"
Gu Cheng frowned.
The founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiunai, immediately conquered the world. Since Wang Mang's experience of usurping the Han Dynasty was still there, in order to protect future generations, he imitated Qin Shihuang's collection of weapons from the world, created the great cause of twelve golden men, and collected the nine wonders of the world.
The Supreme Flame Dragon.
This flame dragon can not only suppress the fate of a country, but also inject spiritual power into the princes of all generations, laying an unparalleled foundation.
Once you ascend the throne, you will have unstoppable power in your every move. No matter how many strange people there are in the world, if you want to do what Jing Ke did to assassinate the Emperor of Qin, you will be like a moth flying into a flame, and you will undoubtedly die.
Liu Xiu undoubtedly thought carefully enough, but unfortunately people are not as good as God. He probably never imagined that future generations would be unable to withstand the power of the dragon spirit and die young.
The Ling Emperor's previous sons did not live past the age of five, but Gu Cheng survived safely, but at the cost of being unable to awaken the dragon spirit and only being protected by its power.
In comparison, Wang Meiren's son Liu Xie, who would be kidnapped by Cao Cao in the future to command the princes, had already begun to awaken at the age of three and showed his magical power. He was angry and anxious about this later, but Liu Xie had Empress Dowager Dong.
She was protected, and even more favored by the Spirit Emperor, so she couldn't do any harm.
Gu Cheng is not jealous of his cheap younger brother. After all, Liu Xie is in trouble in the hands of the princes, and to some extent he is worse off than him. But if he awakens the dragon spirit, he can become a master and have the power to protect himself. When the time comes, Luoyang will change.
, at least there is a chance to escape.
At this moment, Zhang Yu suggested: "Your Highness, you can move your fists and feet to absorb the power of the medicine!"
Gu Cheng glanced at the old eunuch, hummed, and waved his hands, and everyone stepped aside.
Gu Cheng stood erect, with his hands hanging down and his limbs relaxed.
The breeze blew by, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. He suddenly arched up, his limbs swinging rhythmically, his back pinched, his waist and legs stretched and contracted, his lower abdomen vomited, his lungs thundered, his nose sprayed out airflow visible to the naked eye, and then he swam and punched. His whole appearance
, like a divine dragon stretching its body and about to emerge from the sky.
This is the "Eight Parts of the Dragon Manual". It trains the flesh, muscles, bones, membranes, internal organs, blood, marrow and mind. I don't know how many people will break their heads if released. However, it is only used as a foundation building method for the Han royal family.
.
But it's a pity that Gu Cheng didn't even reach the entrance, because when he walked, the bricks and stones under his feet were as smooth as a mirror, leaving not even a single footprint.
Although this is a temporary courtyard, the paving under the feet is still made of imperial sapphire. It feels warm and comfortable when one steps on it. When practicing martial arts, footprints of different shades can be left to prove what has been learned.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
After Gu Cheng struck down a set of dragon fists, his face turned pale, he was panting, he looked at the ground, and sighed slightly.
Naturally, he is not the kind of master who returns to his original nature. If he can't even leave a single footprint, it means that no matter how good-looking he is, it's just a show.
There are so many powerful people in this world, and so many geniuses, but in the end, there are still two main paths to take - refining the essence and refining the spirit!
There are nine levels in the initial stage of refining essence and martial arts: nourishing qi, strengthening the body, forging the body, condensing the orifice, bravery, entering the subtle, outer gang, accumulating spirit, and reaching the sky.
If you can break through, you will advance to the unparalleled realm, which is truly otherworldly.
Needless to say, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, Gu Cheng estimated that those first-rate generals of the Three Kingdoms might all be unparalleled warriors.
As for Lian Shen Zianwen, in the early stage, there were only five realms: entering concentration, five senses, six consciousnesses, wishful thinking, and enlightenment.
Interestingly, the last level of civil and military realms is called Tongtian, and the greater realms above this are also unparalleled, but the specific divisions are different. I think counselors such as Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, etc. are also the gods who can call the wind and rain.
It's a hit.
Of course, those are too far away from Gu Cheng, because he is still unable to achieve success in literature and martial arts. He is still lingering on cultivating qi while refining essence. He has not even been able to achieve samadhi in refining spirit.
The root cause is that the dragon spirit failed to awaken.
The dragon spirit is the most talented person in the world, but before it is awakened, it will spontaneously devour the energy of the host. Therefore, all the elixirs that Gu Cheng took were swallowed by the dragon spirit in his body, causing his body to feel like a poor man without enough to eat.
It's the same as common people, if they don't have enough physical strength, and they barely exercise their bodies, they will only end up dying young.
As for refining the gods, Gu Cheng knew that the Han Dynasty was about to perish, and his fate would be extremely miserable. He was like a cancer patient whose time had been set. His heart was full of sorrow, how could he be able to enter samadhi?
Gu Cheng let out a long sigh, looked at the palace in the distance, and walked out of the courtyard: "Zhang Yu, you stay here to compile the list of aristocratic families for me!"
The prince was about to leave again, and Xiao Huangmen hurriedly followed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu, who usually took care of his daily life and served as his personal servant, stayed where he was and suddenly laughed: "How did you find out?"
"There is an enemy invasion, magicians, and all directions are blocked!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cheng suddenly changed from a stroll to a run. As he rushed out, he slapped the jade ornaments on his waist and shouted.
In an instant, a majestic golden shadow rose up, like a general guarding the territory and facing the devil, waving the giant spirit hammer and smashing it down towards Zhang Yu.
This sudden scene made the palace maids and eunuchs scream in surprise. However, the Xiao Huangmen who escorted Gu Cheng suddenly raised his head, his hands turned into claws, and his ten fingers actually released a dark and ink-like Qi, towards Zhang Yu's old and frail body.
Catch.
"Why is your Highness like this?" Zhang Yu's eyes always fell on Gu Cheng and he waved his hand.
"Ah!" Xiao Huangmen's originally cruel face suddenly showed a look of horror, and he screamed, because his body started to be dismembered inch by inch from the hands that released the force, and in an instant it turned into powder and dispersed.
At the same time, the screaming maids also fell down softly, and blood flowed from their hearts and flowed along the floor tiles, staining the formations. The magical warrior had just killed in front of Zhang Yu, and disappeared like a dream.
"At such a young age, he has a heart of stone and is decisive in killing. He is worthy of being a descendant of Guangwu!"
Seeing Gu Cheng running as fast as he could without looking back, turning a blind eye to the killing behind him, Zhang Yu nodded with praise and stretched out his hand.
call!
As the world turned around, Gu Cheng found himself back at the place where he practiced before. He stopped running. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, he said in a shy voice: "Zhang Jiao?"
"Oh? How did you guess it?" Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows, and his face suddenly changed like water waves, revealing a simple and strange face of an old man, with a yellow scarf on his head and white beard and hair.
"Really you?" Gu Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that he had asked He Hou not long ago to meet Zhang Jiao, and this guy actually showed up.
But how dare he?
Even if Zhang Jiao, who calls himself General Tiangong, must be a super strong man in the unparalleled realm, breaking into the Han Dynasty Palace is a dead end!
The current Han Dynasty is definitely not a dynasty that was bullied by the princes a few years later and existed in name only. It is a dynasty with countless powerful powers and dominates the world!
"Don't worry about your safety, prince. This is just the incarnation of my soul. I have been preparing for a long time. I wanted to see where the spirit emperor died, but I didn't expect that fate would bring me to meet you at last!"
"I'm not the prince yet. You, a big shot who wants to overthrow the Han Dynasty, why are you arresting me?"
Gu Cheng was confused. He was just living cautiously and had not brought himself into the mentality of the Han prince and future emperor. Therefore, he could not understand Zhang Jiao's attack.
Zhang Jiao seemed to have noticed Gu Cheng's doubts, and said calmly: "The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will unite. The Han Dynasty started from the time when Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake, and enjoyed the country for four hundred years. The torrent of humanity is inevitable, and the three immortals share it.
Shang, we comply with destiny..."
These words made Gu Cheng feel chills all over his body. Sure enough, the world of immortal martial arts is not easy to deal with. There are immortals who can calculate the destiny of the Han Dynasty. Is it true that God is going to kill me as the prince?
But that was, after all, a catastrophe in the future. What was even more frightening was what Zhang Jiao said next: "Nine years ago, the stars changed, the secrets of heaven were blurred, and the three immortals suspected that there was an external demon entering the world!"
Zhang Jiao looked at Gu Cheng, his indifferent eyes seeming to penetrate his soul and peer into all the secrets: "The master ordered me to come here to find out whether this providential change was the prince who was supposed to be born at that time...
