Seeing Jiang Wang like this, Zuo Xiao, who was sitting behind the desk, didn't know whether to feel pity or anger for a moment. His eyes fell on the complicated curse seal and his tone was as normal as possible: "Tell me, how did you get to this point?"
Jiang Wang grinned, his face a bit cunning. He raised a finger and poked the sky: "I tried to deceive it, but it is not easy to deceive."
This kind of childlike cunning is something he has rarely seen before.
He always demands that he be an adult.
But what he holds in his palm is the Jamfu Sword Prison, which is still evolving its sword style, but it is him who has not changed.
Have some intention and do your best.
If there is a chance, fight for a chance.
If there is no chance, then strengthening yourself will never go wrong.
This is the simple truth Jiang Wang gained from his many years of ups and downs.
The life philosophy of Duke Huai is - as big as your butt is, wear the same pants.
He originally had pity in his heart, but now he laughed angrily: "If it's the little fat guy from the Chongxuan family who says he wants to 'deceive the sky', I can expect a lot. Even Dou Zhao, he's crazy You have to get used to it. You also want to 'deceive the sky'. What do you want me to expect?"
"Ugh." Jiang Wang didn't argue, he just muttered: "That way is not brainless."
Zuo Xiao put down the book and looked at him: "You have become a heavenly being, and your understanding of the way of heaven is indeed better than many people. But what you understand is the power of heaven, not the way of heaven. What you see" The way of heaven is just a leaf on a tree, a corner of a glacier exposed from the water. A blind person who touches an elephant at least knows that he is blind. Do you know that your eyesight is not that good?"
Being scolded by the old man, Jiang Wang could only smile in apology.
"Do you think you look handsome when you smile?" Zuo Xiao asked.
Jiang Wang then became serious.
Zuo Xiao pressed his annoyance and said: "It is true that Heavenly Dao does not have a specific will, which is what you call 'brainless', but this does not mean that it is easier to deal with than those with brains. A wise man thinks a lot. , there must be a mistake. When have you ever seen a mistake in the way of heaven? The way of heaven often appears as a collection of the fundamental rules of the world, but you can't just regard it as a collection of the fundamental rules of the world - don't you know, because of the four "Destiny is in the Demon" How many great sages did the human race fill in for this character, and how much price did they pay? Are you, Jiang Wang, really your destiny, with no taboos?"
Of course, Jiang Wang knew how terrifying the way of heaven was. As early as in the demon world, he had experienced the heavy pressure of the so-called "will of heaven". At that time, Zen Master Xing Nian was still calculating the results, and ordered Bu Lian to leave residual memories. He was just accidentally run over by God's will. He has died and lived so many times.
As the center of all heavens and worlds in this world, the power of heaven is far from being comparable to the will of the demon world.
But today, Jiang Wang has indeed gained the confidence to surpass the past and the present. He is already the creator of the historical limit of Dongzhen Realm, and it is natural that he will pursue more possibilities.
He has definitely controlled the power of heaven, experienced the will of the demon world, seen the original will of the forest sea source world, and been exposed to the incarnation of God's will in the floating land world, Jihuo Yuxiu - in theory, his understanding of the way of heaven is no better than others Difference.
This is also one of the reasons why he made this attempt to deceive the sky.
But the fierce counterattack of Tiandao was still beyond his control.
"Alas, Grandpa Zuo, I know I was wrong!" Jiang Wang gave up explaining and admitted his mistake honestly: "I overestimated myself, underestimated Qizhiben, and did not have enough respect for the way of heaven."
This genius who has gone through many ups and downs is now sitting there vulnerable, obediently facing his mistakes.
Zuo Xiao just... couldn't curse anymore.
"You don't have to be in awe of it." The old man raised the book again and looked away: "But if you want to fight against it, you need to understand why you are the challenger."
A challenger should behave like a challenger, respect the strength of his opponent, calmly examine the gap between the two sides, and give his opponent the highest respect.
Jiang Wang held the Yanfu Sword Prison in his palm, thoughtfully.
Suddenly, there was another person in the study.
Yu Guogong was good-looking and majestic, but his clothes were simple and his smile was very friendly. He could change into kitchen clothes at any time without making anyone feel out of place.
As soon as he entered the study, he said: "Wei Xuanche's credentials are so beautifully written."
Zuo Xiao just raised his eyes and looked at him.
He continued: "The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty have been benefited from all directions, and they have inherited the shadow of the pioneering martial arts. They are the world's best swordsmen. They cannot attack the enemy in the first battle. Hey! Listen to me, how wise you are!"
"It is said that the young phoenix cries for the first time, and they sang the first act so beautifully -" Qu Jinkui said this before he stopped and looked at Jiang Wang next to him: "Two certificates of heavenly beings?"
Jiang Wang had already taken over the Yanfu Sword Prison, stood up and waited aside, then he saluted and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lao."
Qu Jinkui waved his hand and signaled him to raise his hand. While checking his pulse, he said: "It doesn't take any trouble. My sealing technique is not better than Duke Huai's. It's just that the direction of my research is different. The earliest The purpose of studying the sealing technique is to preserve the ingredients in the best condition. Later, it was mainly because of my incompetent son - he really sealed up all the dirty things in his mind. He talks about obscene words all day long!"
Zuo Xiao coughed. This bad cook didn't need to say anything.
Qu Jinkui turned around and said, "We are all our own people, what can't we say?"
He turned back and looked at Jiang Wang: "I'm just going to put it bluntly - I can't solve this problem for you."
This is... too direct.
Jiang Wang didn't feel any sadness or loss, but he was somewhat amused. Why was he still talking about obscene words in one sentence, and announcing his death date in the next sentence?
"Did you see clearly?!" Zuo Xiao stood up from behind the desk: "I took a pulse and rolled my eyes."
Qu Jinkui turned to look at him, very dissatisfied: "You are questioning a cook's judgment on the heat."
"It's not like this comparison." Zuo Xiao said slowly: "After all, your attainments in the sealing technique are not as good as your culinary skills - why don't you take a look?"
"My big brother, we all need to face the truth." Qu Jinkui said bluntly: "His situation is already very clear - your Nandou Changsheng Town has sealed his first level of human form. He Within the closed town, you can also prove to heaven and humans. This is called immortality and cannot suppress the ghosts seeking death."
"How can you talk? You're so smooth-talking!" Zuo Xiao frowned.
I can’t blame Qu Yan for liking to listen to and watch operas and write lyrics all day long. Isn’t this the origin of your family education?
He threw the book in his hand on the table: "Do you think you can achieve the two proofs of heaven and earth if you want to? This is the first case in history, a unique talent!"
"Yes, a unique dilemma." Qu Jinkui shrugged: "If you want to seal the second state of heaven and man, you have to uncover or penetrate this layer of 'Nandou Changsheng Town'. But given Jiang Wang's current situation
, 'Nandou Changsheng Town', even if he just opens a gap or shakes it, the two states will immediately overlap, and he will be forcibly summoned by the way of heaven, leaving no room for resistance. This is not a question of his level of cultivation. He has already soaked in the deep sea of the way of heaven.
It’s up to my neck.”
The four great aristocratic families of the Chu Kingdom and the royal family have been intermarried for generations, and their seniority has long been unclear. They are all called by their own names. For example, Qu Jinkui is always called Big Brother Zuo Xiao, and they do have a good personal relationship.
Qu Jinkui's judgment was actually consistent with Zuo Xiao's own understanding.
In Jiang Wang's current situation, it's not even his turn to consider how to seal the second level of heavenly and human state. He can't even touch it now.
Zuo Xiao wanted to sigh but did not sigh loudly. He looked at Jiang Wang: "What do you think?"
The corners of Jiang Wang's mouth curved slightly, and he said with a smile: "I'll take a closer look."
It is said that the way of heaven is ruthless, the way of heaven is supreme, and the way of heaven is eternal. But in Jiang Wang's view, this so-called "way of heaven" is not as easy to swallow him up now, and he can still fight for a while.
Then keep walking.
There was nothing Zuo Xiao could do, and there was nothing Qu Jinkui could do. It was all the judgment of these elders.
There was nothing he could do about it - he just felt that he was not strong enough.
He never believed that there was no way out in this world, he only suspected that he had not done enough.
"He is ambitious." Qu Jinkui looked at him with admiration: "It's a pity that he doesn't learn cooking from me."
Jiang Wang then said: "This junior has also done some research with the chef, and I have long wanted to ask you for advice."
"Sealing from the outside in is not feasible... What about sealing from the inside out?" Zuo Xiao asked.
He used his voice to cut off the boring conversation between Jiang Wang and Qu Jinkui - cooking or not cooking was actually a form of comfort and self-relief before death, and he didn't like it. He didn't need emotions, he just wanted to solve the problem.
method.
"You mean... let him seal the state of heaven and man himself? It can indeed circumvent the problem of the first level of heaven and human state. But -" Qu Jinkui turned to Jiang Wang and asked: "What research do you have on sealing techniques?"
?Is there any basis?”
"I've seen it before!" Jiang Wang said.
Qu Jinkui spread his hands.
"Don't waste time." Zuo Xiao said directly: "Think carefully, do you have any quick fix for sealing?"
Qu Jinkui felt helpless: "All the profound knowledge and attainments in the past and present were built with sweat. It takes three years to cut vegetables before cooking! Is there any quick fix in the world? It's just a waste of life and money, and more is lost.
Furthermore, given Jiang Wang’s current situation, even if he has quickly gained some foundations, how can he achieve the level of self-sealing the state of a heavenly being?”
Zuo Xiao ignored it and only looked at Jiang Wang: "Jiang Wang, do you want to learn the sealing technique? I mean, starting from now on."
Those eyes are gentle, but so serious - no one can save you, you can only save yourself.
Qu Jinkui also looked over, with a complicated expression.
To learn the art of sealing from scratch, to the extent that you can seal the state of heaven and humans by yourself, is simply not something that can be accomplished in three or five years. No matter how talented you are, it still takes time.
As for Jiang Wang's current situation... Heavenly Dao has already strangled his neck, and he is about to suffocate and drown at any moment. It is impossible for him to survive until he completes his studies.
"Of course I have to learn!" Jiang Wang said without any hesitation, "If there really comes a time when I can't hold it anymore and fall into the deep sea of heaven. At least at the last moment of my fall, I will still be myself."
Since this is a feasible path, what reason does he have for not taking it?
No time! No time...
Not having time is another problem.
The question now is "Is there a way?"
Zuo Xiao was very straightforward and directly threw the "Detailed Explanation of the Eight Seals of the Chaotic World" over: "Sit here and wait, and you can also read this book."
Then he turned up his sleeves and dragged Qu Jinkui away.
Jiang Wang didn't waste any time. He sat down immediately and started reading this thick book word by word.
It is indeed "gnawing".
The first thing that came up was the sealing method of the "Eight Seals of the Hunshi" level. He was simply reading a book from heaven. It was completely based on the true realm of the cave world and started back from the basic performance of the sealing method that he could get a glimpse of it.
Each complicated pattern is like a maze, and your mind is trapped in it, and you are confused for a long time, not knowing where you are.
In the sea of primordial spirits, the primordial spirit is sitting high on the throne, wearing the Eastern Emperor's Divine Photo Clothes, blessing the Immortal Mind Galaxy... With such magical power, he can actually feel the pain of Jiang Anan scratching his head and ears while doing homework.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue. There will be more exciting things to come!
Just when he was chewing on the second page, Duke Huai came back.
What came back with him were several piles of books piled in the room, as well as bamboo slips and jade slips covering the desk.
They are all secret books related to various sealing techniques.
"Went to the treasury." Zuo Xiao pulled up his chair and sat down, casually opened a scroll of bamboo slips and read it, with a casual tone: "From today on, you will live here. I just don't have anything to do, and there is no end to learning. Let's study together."
The light from the window pours into the study, filling the desk into a river of light.
Jiang Wang was sitting on the other side of the river, looking down at the book, and just said "hmm".
…
…
"Li Yiluo~Di Yiluo~"
"The spring mountains were once full of March dew, and the spring tide brought rain and the boat head sang."
"Li Yiluo~Di Yiluo~"
"When there is no frost in winter, the flowers are still there, and the short branches are as cold as yesterday -"
On the endless sea, the boat swayed along with the waves.
The King of Chu Jiang wore her Yama mask and sat on the edge of the boat, walking with one finger in the water, occasionally leaving pieces of thin ice. On the thin ice, there were complex and unclear patterns engraved on it. of ice patterns.
The singing voice came from under her mask.
It cannot be described as beautiful or unpleasant - this song contains some kind of Taoist meaning, which is very mysterious and distant.
King Guang of Qin, with his black hair shawl, was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, holding an ancient book in his hand. He was reading quite seriously and said, "Uh-huh," "You sang 'yao' as 'yeah,' and 'luo' The word '' sounds very similar to 'Luo'...did you sing it wrong?"
King Chu Jiang's singing stopped suddenly. He raised his long hair and covered his expectant ears.
He took a slow breath and then said: "In ancient times, the pronunciation of 'Yiluo' was 'Yeluo' - the ancient music score you found in the ruins of Wanxian Palace. If you want to use singing to induce Taoist rhyme clues, you have to use ancient music pronounce."
"You know better." King Qin Guang praised: "You are indeed the most knowledgeable Yama. People outside are praising you for this."
The King of Chu Jiang vaguely remembers that people seem to say that the King of Chu Jiang is a "snake and scorpion woman" who "rarely takes action" and is "the most cunning and insidious".
But she just asked: "Which King Bian Cheng is the best Yama? The best at fighting?"
"He has been expelled!" King Qin Guang grabbed the ancient book and waved it, as if to drive away flies: "Since you even understand its ancient pronunciation, does this 'Yi Luo' have any special significance?"
"Why don't you stab the villain?" King Chu Jiang asked.
King Guang of Qin said: "The skin is too thick and cannot be pierced, so forget it."
The King of Chu Jiang said: "In ancient times, the East China Sea was not as wide as that, and the coastline was much further forward. According to the comparison of ancient maps and records, it was probably this place——"
She stretched out her hand and made an imaginary stroke, and a line of ice condensed on the sea surface.
"There is a river here called Yiluo River."
She recounted: "There is a human tribe living near the Yiluo River, called the 'Yiluo tribe'. This tribe has a small population and is very closed, but very united. If I guessed correctly, this folk song, It’s a ballad passed down orally by the Yiluo people.”
King Qin Guang raised his handsome eyebrows slightly. He had no impression of this "Yiluo Clan" at all.
King Chu Jiang continued: "The Yiluo people have to experience the Yiluo River twice in their lives."
"Once is birth. A pregnant Yiluo woman will walk into the Yiluo River and give birth to her child in the Yiluo River. The child is born again the moment it leaves the water. This is called 'Li Yiluo' '."
"Once is death. No matter where they are or how far they have traveled, the Yiluo people must return to their hometown after death. Before they are buried, they must bathe their bodies with the water of the Yiluo River. Only after bathing in the water of the Yiluo River can their souls rest. .This is 'Di Yi Luo'."
"." King Qin Guang looked over the page of the book and said nonchalantly: "Has the Yiluo tribe ever produced any powerful figures? Some of them relatively famous?"
King Chu Jiang pondered: "There is a person who is quite famous, but I don't know if he is great by your standards."
"Who?" King Qin Guang asked.
"His real name no longer exists, and people call him——" King Chu Jiang's index finger gently broke the ice floating on the sea.
The cracks on the ice surface formed a "swastika" character.
