Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Hulao in the east, and Hangu in the west.
It is surrounded by mountains, with the Luoyang Plain in the center, and the four streams of Yi, Luo, Han, and Jian flowing through it. It is not only a dangerous situation, but also has beautiful scenery, fertile soil, moderate climate, and convenient water transportation.
Since ancient times, eight dynasties, including Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, and Sui, have established their capitals here, making it a transportation hub and military fortress in the world.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital location in Luoyang and established a new capital.
The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Dynasty and the ancient cities of the Han and Wei dynasties. It crosses the Han River to the east, the Luo River to the south, the Jian River to the west, and the Mang Mountain to the north. It has a circumference of more than fifty miles and is magnificent. There are three gates in the south city alone.
seat.
Among them, the middlemost gate is called Jianguo Gate, with White Tiger Gate on the left and Changxia Gate on the right. It has a magnificent shape.
Li Yizhi followed the crowd into the city gate, and what he saw was the "Tianjie", a street that was a hundred paces wide and ran through the north and south gates.
There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, with roads between the lanes and ten vertical and horizontal streets that run through the major city gates in an orderly manner.
Even Li Yizhi, who was accustomed to seeing modern cities, could not help but be amazed by the magnificence of Luoyang.
Along Tianjie, Li Yizhi soon came to the ‘Song Family Hotel’.
He came here this time to visit Song Que.
Because when Song Que went north to Luoyang and passed through Xuchang, he visited him, but unfortunately he had already gone to Pegasus Ranch.
This time he met with Song Que, not only to keep in touch with each other, but also to discuss the future situation.
After all, the Song clan is his strongest ally now, and there are many things that Li Yizhi also wants to hear Song Que's opinion on.
In fact, he was quite looking forward to this meeting with Song Que.
This leader of the Song Dynasty can be described as a legendary figure.
Not only was he proficient in literary and military strategies, but he was also an outstanding military strategist. On the way to martial arts, he had reached an extreme level: he had nothing but the sword.
After revealing his identity, Li Yizhi was enthusiastically introduced to the living room.
Not long after, footsteps were heard from outside the door, and three people soon walked in.
The leader was an extremely handsome middle-aged man, with a handsome face without any flaws. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, with a majestic and majestic bearing.
Li Yizhi knew that this person must be Song Que.
Song Que was not only famous for his martial arts and military strategy, but he was also the most famous handsome man in the martial arts world of the previous generation. Even Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai Zhai, was once fascinated by him.
Behind Song Que were Song Shidao and Song Zhi.
Li Yizhi stood up, bowed and said: "Junior Li Yizhi, I would like to pay my respects to Lord Song."
Song Que walked up to Li Yizhi and couldn't help but look him up and down.
He nodded appreciatively, and then said in a mellow and magnetic voice: "There is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly. Since you call your second brother uncle, please call me Uncle Song."
This is not because Song Que is arrogant, but because Li Yizhi is meeting as a junior today, so naturally he won't get too angry.
"Yes, Uncle Song!"
Li Yizhi responded, and then bowed his hands to Song Zhi and Song Shidao.
After everyone exchanged greetings, they each took their seats, and a maid served fragrant tea.
After a few casual chats, everyone got down to business.
Li Yizhi said: "Uncle Song, I wonder if Ning Daoqi has promised you a victory this time?"
Song Que put down the tea cup and said: "Fan Qinghui came to me and persuaded me to give up supporting you and support Li Tang instead. However, I once again disagreed with her on the general trend of the world, so she proposed to let me and Ning
Dodge battle. If I lose, I will give up supporting you and return to Lingnan."
It is said that Song Que and Fan Qinghui were lovers before, but they eventually parted ways due to disagreements over the general trend of the world.
Because Song Que is a staunch Han nationalist and attaches great importance to Han ancestry.
Cihang Jingzhai supported Yang Jian, which he could not accept because Yang Jian was not a purely Han Chinese.
"This group of women like Cihang Jingzhai use this method to first promote themselves as the saviors of the world, and then use this righteousness to persecute others. Once the persecution fails, they will use force until they achieve their goal."
Li Yizhi smiled faintly, shook his head slightly and said: "Last year, Shi Fei Xuan came to me and persuaded me to surrender to Li Tang, but I refused. Then they invited the four great saints of Buddhism to capture him.
Me, I got away easily."
Song Shidao couldn't help but smile and said: "This woman from Cihang Jingzhai is too naive."
Song Que said lightly: "It's not that they are naive, but that they once had the confidence. Whether it is the four great Buddhist monks or the layman Ning Daoqi, they are all willing to listen to their orders. In this whole world, apart from Yi Zhi and us, who else
Who dares to truly ignore them?"
Song Zhi nodded and sighed: "Shidao, you have never seen the influence of Cihang Jingzhai back then. Almost all the righteous sects in the world followed it. However, with the chaos in the world, they lost the support of the imperial court.
, so its influence is greatly weakened, but it still cannot be underestimated.”
Li Yizhi naturally knew that Cihang Jingzhai's influence was terrifying, but they couldn't do anything about him.
He shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about them anymore. When I win the world, they will be the first to be destroyed. They are just a group of women. They dare to control the national artifact. It is simply ignorant. By the way, Uncle Song, we will fight tomorrow. You
Are you sure?"
Song Que's eyes surged with fighting spirit, and he said: "It depends on whether Ning Daoqi has taken that crucial step. Otherwise, my Eight Heavenly Sword Techniques are not afraid of anyone. Yi Zhi, I don't know how to break through the void with force.
What’s your opinion?”
When Song Zhi and Song Shidao heard this, they were all shocked and looked at Li Yizhi.
Li Yizhi said: "I just have this hunch. When I unify the world, it will be the time when I break the void. Therefore, I am just making a guess about how to break the void. Uncle Song can help me with the details."
Song Que solemnly said: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Yizhi considered it and said: "In today's world, martial arts practice has stopped at the innate peak, and the three great masters have reached it decades ago. However, they have been unable to take the last step, so I can conclude that before the innate realm,
Above, there should be a higher realm, and only by breaking through can the strength skyrocket, and thus the void can be broken."
Song Cao nodded and said: "You are right. In fact, some people have speculated about this for a long time. However, there is no record of what the realm above the innate is and how to get there. According to speculation,
Maybe those who once conquered the void immediately left this world after taking the last step, so they didn't leave a single word behind."
Li Yizhi said: "As for the realm after the innate, we can actually deduce it on the basis of acquired and innate. Uncle Song must also know that water has three forms, namely water, water vapor, and ice, which represent gas, liquid, and solid respectively. In fact,
Everything in the world is within these three forms."
"When cultivating the true energy in the acquired realm, we can think of it as water vapor; when cultivating the true essence in the innate realm, we can think of it as water. In the innate realm, can we think of it as cultivating it into ice, that is, condensing the true essence into a solid state?
, I call it the golden elixir.”
In fact, this golden elixir is not the Taoist golden elixir.
Because the Taoist Golden Pill is not a solid, but is made by smelting the Qi of heaven and earth with its own essence. It is actually a ball of Qi.
Just because this mass of energy has immortal properties, it is regarded as "gold", and the method of cultivation is the art of inner elixir, so it is called golden elixir.
