Chapter 1742 Dugu is truly invincible, the blessed land of Donghai Mountain
Gong Bai is from the Luo Kingdom. When he was fifty-three years old, he became the God of God by chance.
Of course, this "coincidence" process is not so gentle.
Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways, and different people have their own ways.
The common people rely on mountains to eat, mountains to eat, and water to drink water. He is in Luo Kingdom, so of course he eats water people.
The Luo Kingdom, known as the "Land of Water", is the country that best embodies the contradiction between the human race and the water race, and is also the country that the water race is most hostile to.
Every time the Yellow River Meeting is held, the old dragon in the Changhe Dragon Palace will dress up in rich clothes and sit on the river viewing platform to watch the ceremony.
The Qingjiang Aquatic Tribe of Zhuang State fully surrendered to Zhuang Ting, the Lanhe Water Tribe of Yong State always fought for Yong Ting, and the Weihe River Aquatic Tribe was a strong force in the Qin army... This is generally true all over the world.
The covenant between the human race and the water race was signed in the Middle Ages. It has continued to this day. The two sides are close and are friends rather than enemies.
In the context of the harmonious coexistence of the human race and the water race that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, or the overall surrender of the water race to the human race, everything that happened here in the Luo Kingdom cannot be called a "contradiction".
The conflict is at least a mutual relationship, and it should be said that the Luo Kingdom is unilaterally bullying the Shui Tribe.
Everyone in the Luo Kingdom knows how to swim, and everyone knows how to operate a boat.
Monks in the Luo Kingdom are also generally proficient in the art of water movement - rather than being proficient in the art of water movement, it is more appropriate to say that they are proficient in "the art of dealing with the water tribe".
In the Luo Kingdom, selling water tribe slaves is almost a semi-open business. And this is expressly prohibited in many places.
It can even be said that the slave business is a business prohibited by law——
Once upon a time, it was not uncommon.
The enslavement of one group of people by another group of people has existed throughout human history.
Before the former sage Bingwu, one of the Eight Ministers of the Human Emperor, known as "Bing Zu", came forward, "extraordinary monks" and "ordinary people" were almost regarded as two species in two worlds.
At that time, many people who were born with open pulses regarded themselves as human beings and others as apes.
Later, there was Qi and blood, and military skills... It was the power of countless ordinary people gathered together that brought an ancient era of extreme darkness to an end.
Of course, until now, there are many people who are stronger than others, smarter than others, and richer than others, and do not treat others as human beings. But this can no longer become the mainstream view, does not conform to the moral concepts of the world, and violates the laws of various countries...anyone who has
Anyone with knowledge can stand up and uphold justice. For example, when Jiang Wang executed Ge Heng in Qingyang Town, this was the great cause of justice.
In this world, there were countries that openly traded human slaves, and they quickly grew up relying on the huge profits from human trafficking.
Later, when Han Shentu, Wu was sick, Gongsun Buhu, and the three true kings of Sanxing Palace joined forces to destroy his country, this trend was suppressed.
For example, in the fighting arenas that were popular in the Northern Territory, slaves were widely used to fight to the death in the beginning.
Nowadays, except for those on death row, most fighters voluntarily sign contracts with the fighting arena and receive corresponding rewards. Slaves are not allowed to exist.
The only situation where human slaves still exist is when countries fight against each other and they are prisoners of war after the war between nations.
There have always been some people who adhere to the concept that "it is unjust for all countries to fight each other, and the collapse of etiquette and music begins from this point on" and resolutely oppose the war. One of the very important reasons is that the treatment of prisoners of war makes people "still in a trance in ancient times"
.(See "Strange Stories from the Four Seas")
Of course, alien races such as the Monster Tribe, Sea Tribe, and Shura Tribe are not protected by the law, nor are they subject to the moral constraints within the human race.
Therefore, in the Canglang Arena, you can still see death battles involving demon clans.
Let’s talk about going back to Luo Country.
The Luo Kingdom was just a small country, adjacent to Zhuang and Yong. The blank area formed between the three kingdoms was the place where Buhu City later stood.
Among the three countries surrounding the City of Unredeemed, Luo Kingdom has always been the last one. Historically, there were people who attached Yong Lingzhuang, and there were also people who joined forces to attack Yongzhuang. They always fell with the east wind and the west wind.
It stands to reason that the Luo Kingdom does not have the strength to violate taboos semi-openly and become enemies of the water tribe in the world.
There are of course complex reasons behind this, but the most important reason is that the living aquarium is no longer a whole.
The Changhe Dragon Lord claims to rule the water tribes in the world, but in fact he can only control his Dragon Palace.
The Weihe River aquatic tribe belongs to Qin, the Qingjiang aquatic tribe belongs to Zhuang... Even wherever the Yangtze River passes, every section is owned by the state. There is absolutely no room for the Yangtze River Dragon Palace to interfere.
And the Luo Kingdom never provoked the water tribes who were supported by people. They always "hunted" in some wild lakes and wild waters. Of course, "poaching" behaviors in Qingjiang, Lanhe and other places have also happened in history. After all, Caibo
Touching.
Gong Bai, who cultivated in Shenlinjing, was the Salt Transportation Envoy from the Luo Kingdom.
As the yamen that controls the economic lifeline of Luo State, this company is called "Salt Transport", and what is actually transported is almost an open secret.
In the small Luo Kingdom, Gong Bai's status can be considered to be lower than that of only one person, and he is extremely noble. But looking at the world, he is the one who knows his own family affairs and can handle them clearly.
In recent years, Zhuang and Yong have been constantly moving, expanding and reforming. The Luo Kingdom is small and weak, showing weakness on both sides, but it has always been able to rest on its laurels.
Although the slave business can be regarded as a capitalless business, under the current situation, the upper limit is very low.
Buying and selling human beings is a taboo, it’s the most profitable thing but you dare not touch it.
He doesn't have the ability to rob the Demon Clan, the Sea Clan, the Shura Clan...
If we only focus on aquariums, the market will become increasingly unsustainable.
First, the number of Shui Tribe "in the wild" is limited, and it is getting more and more limited. Second, there is no possibility of openly trading Shui Tribe slaves for at least three hundred years.
Semi-openness means that in many cases if others turn a blind eye, your business will be successful. If others open both eyes, your business will not be successful.
Of course Luo Guo has its own ability to survive, but that's all. It hit the ceiling early.
Luo Guo needs a new way out, and Gong Bai also needs a new way out.
After Taixu Illusion began to expand on a large scale, Gong Bai keenly saw the opportunity and enthusiastically devoted himself to it.
Especially the blessed land system, which allowed him to see perhaps the only possibility of contacting the blessed land in this life!
Although it is really possible that he does not have a hole, taking a few steps forward at the level of divine presence is still a different world.
The only problem is that he failed to catch up with the best time. When he needed to compete for qualifications in Fudi, he didn't have any confidence in himself.
But he also has his own methods.
Not long ago, an extremely bad "human elixir" scandal broke out in the Dan Kingdom. Zhang Xun, the genius of the Dan Kingdom, died in the incident, and Luo Zhongmin, the heavenly alchemist who led the human elixir incident, was publicly executed by the leader of the Xingren Palace, Gongsun Buhu.
.
The leader of the Dan Kingdom, the Prime Minister, and seventeen other senior officials of the Dan Kingdom were all escorted to Tianxing Cliff after the public trial. What awaits them is a long sentence.
The huge Dan Kingdom fell apart overnight.
Of course, it was only the Dan Kingdom’s royal family and the Dan Kingdom’s court that collapsed.
There is a joint organization that sprang up from the ruins of Danting. It is called "Yuanshi Dan League".
It unified all the major forces in the Dan Kingdom and controlled all the elixir channels.
From now on, the Dan Kingdom's elixir output will basically be determined by the Yuanshi Dan Alliance.
It can be said that the Yuanshi Dan League is the highest governing body of Dandi today. Compared with a national government, it is more like a pure chamber of commerce.
The allies are also people from the original Dan Kingdom, and most of them are alchemists.
But the power behind each alchemist is not difficult to see.
These "supporters" seem to be of all kinds. Basically, they are all heroes who rushed to the scene immediately after the Rendan incident. They uphold justice, punish evil and promote good.
Of course, the three parties of Qin, Jingchu, and Chu took the lion's share, dividing the positions of one alliance leader and two deputy alliance leaders. The other participants, such as the Song Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Xumi Mountain, and Nandou Palace, also ate some sporadically, and many precious elixirs were scattered.
As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life.
Dan Kingdom collapsed, who were the only ones who could eat fat?
Even Gong Bai, who was far away in the Luo Kingdom, took advantage of the lax control of Dan Kingdom's elixirs during the period when the great powers were dividing the country, and spent a lot of money to buy elixirs at low prices.
This business made him a lot of money.
Among them were twenty boiling blood green pills, which he had specially prepared for the challenge in the blessed land.
The forbidden art of the Chu Dynasty, the Boiling Blood and Burning Soul, was famous as a life-threatening forbidden art. The Blood-Burning Qingdan was imitated based on its principle.
Of course, taking this elixir will definitely cause irreversible damage to the body while temporarily boosting combat power.
But what kind of place is Taixu Illusion?
All simulations are ultimately “illusions”.
Gong Bai spent a lot of energy to recreate the Boiling Blood Green Pill into the Taixu Illusion Realm intact. After taking it, he gained the temporary power in the Taixu Illusion Realm without damaging the real body. Even the Boiling Blood Green Pill was
It has not been consumed!
This was simply a genius initiative, allowing him to win the qualification to challenge the Blessed Land in one fell swoop, and successfully won the Donghai Mountain Blessed Land - there were not many participants in the Taixu Illusion Realm before, especially those at the God's Presence level. And every time
A little bit of skill is precious, and many people are too poor to activate the Sword Discussion Platform. There is a man named Dugu Wudi, who has never re-carved his sword into the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Recreating the elixir consumes a lot of energy, far more than a famous sword. If you use it on the sword discussion stage, even if you win, the gain will not be worth the loss. So no one has ever thought of this.
According to the current rules of the blessed land challenge, if there are multiple people participating in the blessed land challenge at the same time, these people will need to compete in pairs, and the strongest one will be determined to be qualified to challenge the blessed land 72 Donghai Mountain.
During the same period, Gong Bai met eleven people who participated in the blessed land challenge, and twenty pills of boiling blood green pills were enough for him to chew until the end.
Therefore, he won various benefits from the blessed land of Donghai Mountain with insufficient strength.
It's a pity that there is a broken rule in the challenge of the blessed land in Taixu Illusion - as the gatekeeper of the final blessed land, after winning the ownership of the blessed land for the first time, he must guard the blessed land one more time before he can be qualified to challenge higher.
Otherwise, he should have taken medicine and gone to Lushan today.
The blessed land of the 71st place is definitely better than the 72nd place.
But then again, after experiencing the effect of the Boiling Blood Green Pill, his confidence in himself has increased too much. In the past month, he has successively bought the Red Stripe Diamond Pill, the Six-Colored Spiritual Body Pill, and the Evil Yang Tiger Soul.
Dan, re-engraved into the illusion of Taixu.
After several tests, he determined that these pills would not conflict with each other.
These three elixirs can respectively strengthen his body, body, and soul in a short period of time.
The Boiling Blood Green Pill uses irreversible damage to bring about an all-round increase in combat power.
Therefore, when the "fully armed" Gong Bai met an extremely handsome man named Dugu Wudi, his mood was calm, even slightly sarcastic.
After swallowing the four pills of Red Striped Diamond Pill, Six-Colored Spiritual Body Pill, Evil Yang Tiger Soul Pill, and Boiling Blood Green Pill in his belly, his energy and spirit were all raised to peaks he had never experienced before. In this state, he
, and even dared to go to Yong Guo’s martial arts lord Xue Mingyi for a duel!
Who dares to claim to be invincible?
Or even lonely?
"How many competitors did you win to win this challenge opportunity?" In order to better digest the power of the medicine, Gong Bai took the initiative to ask a question before the official battle started.
At this moment, he smelled that his breath was sweet, and every breath he took out was filled with strength... It was satisfying.
Jiang Wang was a little surprised, but it was only "a little". The opponent in front of him was in a slightly weird state. His strength was huge and messy. He was like a kettle that kept whining and was about to flip the lid at any time.
He was even worried that if he was too slow to strike, the person in front of him would explode.
He replied casually: "Six or seven, I didn't pay much attention."
He has never experienced the threshold of a blessed land challenge before, and this is the first time he knows that he needs to defeat some competitors to win the opportunity to challenge a blessed land.
But this is not difficult for him, and the process is even a bit boring. Many people are not as good as Bai Yuxia in the inner palace realm who can surprise him. Bai Yuxia can at least give him a lot of collisions of inspiration in battle. And these opponents are empty
Although he has the power of divine presence, his tactics are too old-fashioned and lack originality. It cannot be said to be weak, but for Marquis Wu An, who has been fed an appetite by the Qi Guoshu Academy, it is really lackluster.
Therefore, during the qualifying round of the Fudi Challenge, he was only studying his own combat system and did not care too much about his opponents.
Gong Bai frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
Last month, including him, only twelve people competed for the qualifications to challenge the Blessed Land. This month, more than sixty-four people participated in the competition, which shows that the number of participants in the Taixu Illusion Realm is indeed increasing day by day.
And if this Dugu Wudi can stand out among so many people, his strength may have to raise some expectations.
"That's it..." Gong Bai raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned, and then inserted three more boiling blood pills without leaving a trace.
His entire face turned red and hot blood began to surge.
Swallowing seven pills, my fate is up to me!
"ah!"
He couldn't care less about chatting anymore. He had so much power that he needed to vent it out. He opened his mouth suddenly, and a fire dragon roared out, burning through the air and rushing towards his opponent!
But he only saw a palm raised, and the fire dragon he sprayed out... was directly suppressed.
And his own roar sounded in his ears - that "Ah!"
This sound made a sound like a knife and struck his ear suddenly.
Fortunately, I had red-striped vajra pills to protect my body, so I only suffered from pain and no injuries.
"hiss!"
He took a breath.
But even this "hiss" sound can be divided into a sword of sound patterns, and the sword cuts the lips and tongue!
My ears are filled with chaos, and my mouth is making a riot in heaven.
The sound pattern turned into a knife, a spear, a sword, and a halberd. The more they fought, the more they cracked, and the more they cut, the more they cut.
Gong Bai swallowed a muffled groan, forcibly extinguishing the sound. He opened his mouth and spat out the two broken teeth and voiceprint sword energy.
His face turned red, veins popped out on his face, and his huge strength burned like a blazing flame outside his body!
Under this weird sravaka killing method, he did not dare to fight for a long time. He was determined to use the huge power of the elixir to destroy the fine eggs in the mountains and overthrow the opponent in one fell swoop!
Under the influence of the six-color spiritual body pill, his speed was so fast that he could hardly control it himself.
A person is like a flash of light, just a flash of light, and he is swept away by Dugu Wudi.
Fortunately, Dugu Wudi caught up immediately...
At this time, Gong Bai's mind was filled with the power he wanted to vent, so he took a pair of water thorns, his body seemed to be spinning, and his seven orifices were sprayed with white frost.
But on the sword platform, two streams of light chased each other and circled rapidly.
There is white frost crushed by the sword energy, spreading like mist.
The two sides have entered a stage of full contact, killing each other within a small area. In this state, Gong Bai can use the power of the elixir arbitrarily, and his every move is filled with the power of the elixir, without fear of consumption.
But soon he felt uncomfortable.
The discomfort lies not in the negative feedback brought about by the elixir itself, but in the fact that every move he makes seems to have been predicted! The opponent's swordsmanship does not look very good, but he has good combat knowledge and extremely agile skills.
One sword can cut him at the most difficult pass.
And that damn voice!
Every time there was a collision, he had to deliberately control his voice. But his opponent kept humming and humming. The attacks caused by the sound were as dense as the ocean tide, and they became stronger and stronger!
It was like he was squatting in a hut when an enemy broke in through the door. It didn't matter whether he had his pants up or not. He was in a dilemma.
Simply ignite the Dao Yuan, burn the Qi and blood, and release the spiritual consciousness!
He felt like he was exploding!
Under the influence of the Evil Yang Tiger Soul Pill, his spiritual consciousness power is already very terrifying, and the battle involving spiritual consciousness is a very sophisticated skill even at the level of divine presence.
Using this soul to crush the opponent, do you think there will be a chance?
This is a way to conquer ten things with one force, and take elixirs to relieve thousands of worries!
He felt that his power was rising, rising almost infinitely, and he vaguely touched a limit that he had never reached before.
But at the highest point of his momentum, a sword suddenly touched his forehead lightly.
Gong Bai suddenly felt a chill in the ever-expanding power of his physical body, Daoyuan power, and soul power, as well as his ever-expanding powerful delusions.
He felt like a ruptured air bag, constantly leaking air, puff puff... and quickly shriveled up.
This sword not only wiped the key point of the expansion of his physical power, but also cut off the key node of the expansion of his soul power... Such a terrifying sword! Why did such a character come to Taixu Illusion now?
There is a future, there is a future...
At the last moment when consciousness dissipated, Gong Bai comforted himself in this way.
When he leaves next month, there is no telling if I will make a comeback.
Not everyone is alone and invincible?
The previous chapter mentioned that "the mysterious mirror is a unique mirror, and the gods are clear", which comes from Cao Zhi's "Ode to the Academy".
Some book friends mentioned another version of "Xuanjing serves as a mirror, and the gods are clear", and its name is "Ode to Academic Officials".
There are indeed two versions on the Internet. The difference lies in "independence" and "zuo", and "gong" and "official".
I personally think the former is more accurate, because Xuanjing already means Mingjing, and "jian" in "Dujian" is used as a verb, which can be interpreted as "to shine". Then Xuanjing Dujian can be interpreted as "Mingjing alone shines".
In "zuojian", "jian" can only be a noun. It makes no sense to explain it as a mirror.
Secondly, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were academic officials, doctors of the Five Classics, and doctors offering wine, etc., and their grades were not high. With Cao Zhi’s status, there was no need to praise the academic officials, and it was more appropriate to praise the academic palace.
Thirdly, this article is an article by Cao Zhi praising Confucius. After the Han Dynasty, Confucius was already a saint and a teacher for all generations. To replace him with "academic official" is not respectful enough. To praise Confucius as a saint by praising the academy is a relative comparison.
Reasonable question opening.
To sum up, I chose the version of "Xuanjing Dujian".
This paragraph does not affect the reading of the main text, and it does not involve Chixin's worldview at all. It is placed here for discussion with readers.
