"Master Chen, your son is very motivated." Eunuch Feng looked at Chen Shi, who was discussing the Eight Diagrams Body Protection Technique with Cheng Qi and Granny Sha, and said in surprise.
Chen Tang sighed: "The more aggressive he is, the more pressure I have." "Me too."
Eunuch Feng said with a solemn expression, "Our family is also afraid that some guys will quarrel with each other. Last night, after all, we still raised our heads but did not lower our heads to see each other, and we were still friendly. My two dogs didn't kill me. But, they were on the young master. I made a big bet." There were too many people following the young master in Xijing, and among them there were not a few dignitaries in Xijing.
It's hard to guarantee that someone will lose their sight.
"Furthermore, are you sure of winning, your master?"
Eunuch Feng was a little worried and said, "Master Chen, I have put my wealth on your son. If I lose, I will also lose the positions of Dongchang and the eunuch in charge. The last piece of pure land in the imperial court will also be lost to them." ” He had the foresight to realize that something was wrong when the Thirteenth Family decided to support the young master, so he secretly instructed Prince Xiao to steal the Jade Seal of the Western King and fly away with the Jade Seal of the Western King.
At that time, he was the eunuch holding the seal, and the seal he held was the Jade Seal of the West King. The jade seal was the guard of the Shenji Camp, and the two admirals of the Shenji Camp were also eunuchs, under the supervision of the eunuch holding the seal. Without the connivance of Eunuch Feng, Prince Xiao would definitely not This treasure may be stolen.
In Xijing, the eunuch holding the seal and the cabinet check and balance each other. Many major events cannot be done without the eunuch holding the jade seal to seal it. Otherwise, if the jade seal of the Western King falls into the hands of the prince, the prince will not need to borrow the number one scholar to gain prestige for himself.
——At that time, Eunuch Feng had his own selfish intention, which was to let Prince Xiao inherit the Jade Seal of the Western King and ascend the throne as the new true king. However, after Prince Xiao returned from Qianyang Mountain, his enthusiasm waned and he had no plans to restore the Zhu family. Interested. Chen Tang thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll use the realm of transformation to be a tie with Xiao'er."
Eunuch Feng had a sudden thought and asked tentatively: "You are just entering the realm of divine transformation, or are you at the peak of divine transformation?" He added: "At different stages of the realm, your strength may change drastically."
When you first enter the realm of spirit transformation, the Yuan Shen has just merged with the soul, transforming from Yuan Ying into Yuan Shen. At that time, the Yuan Shen is no more than a foot long. This stage is called the union of souls.
In the middle stage of the realm of spiritual transformation, the soul is refined to the point where it is equal to the body. This stage is called being equal to the body.
In the out-of-body stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, the physical body can no longer accommodate the soul, so the soul needs to leave the body. This stage is called leaving the body.
At the peak of the spirit transformation realm, the soul has far exceeded the height of the physical body, and the limit is a body six feet tall.
This stage is called Zhangliu Shen.
At different stages, there is a huge gap in cultivation strength.
Chen Tang hesitated and said: "At first, I used the strength of the soul. Later, when he was forced out of the main hall, I used the strength of the soul to defeat him. Later, when the battle was drawn, I used the strength of the out-of-body body. strength."
Eunuch Feng thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The inheritance that the young master received is the inheritance left by the true king's lineage. Although he is high-profile, he rarely uses his true inheritance. Our Dongchang has collected all his shooting records, and he used All spells, supernatural powers, talismans, talismans and magic weapons are all recorded. He has mastered the skills of hundreds of schools, major families, and even many individual people, and he has calmly used them. He has never used real skills. .”
Chen Tang said nothing and listened quietly.
Although he has great magical powers, in terms of information collection, Eunuch Feng, who controls Dongchang, is more proficient.
"In the era of the True King, many techniques were not handed down. The True King's lineage scattered in the rivers and lakes, hiding their names and spreading their branches. They still retain some of the royal family's techniques."
Eunuch Feng said, "There are many techniques of the True King lineage, among which the Eight Gates of Reversing Life and Death and the Jade Emperor's Breathing Sutra are the most famous. These two techniques are both immortal arts and were inherited from Emperor Jiajing. As the saying goes, they can be practiced The body is shaped like a crane, with a thousand pine trees under it and two Han Sutras. The two Han Sutras refer to these two techniques."
He paused and said: "If Master Xiao Chen can only compare with your soul's out-of-body strength, then it will be difficult to defeat the young master. Only if he can match your six-foot-long body can he be confident." Chen Tang looked at him. Flashing: "The palace examination is still in one month. After one month, the child will definitely be able to make a breakthrough and enter the state of becoming a god."
Eunuch Feng said calmly: "But tomorrow, there will be a martial arts test. At that time, soldiers will fight against soldiers, generals will decide the ranking of the battle. Mr. Xiao Chen will eventually meet the young master. If you want to win, there are two Method. The first method, tonight you attack the show hall at night and seriously injure the young master. Last night you were injured by Shui Xuanzhi, but he was also injured. You go over, you don't know whether you will win or lose this battle, life or death is uncertain. But as long as If you injure the young master, you will have a chance."
Chen Tang's expression did not change and he said, "What about the second way?"
Eunuch Feng said: "Let the young master encounter Zhang You by manipulating the fight tomorrow. Zhang You is the next generation sect leader selected by the Zhang family. He is a secretive person, and his strength will not be weaker than the young master, Mr. Xiao Chen. Let him It would be better to weaken the young master first, and it would be best if both sides suffer losses, and Mr. Xiao Chen can take the opportunity to defeat the young master."
He showed a smile: "And the first assistant Zhang Fu is Mr. Zhang, who happens to be one of ours. Zhang You's move..." Chen Tang shook his head and said: "Zhang first assistant can't arrange Zhang You, he doesn't have the qualifications."
Eunuch Feng was slightly startled and looked up at him.
Chen Tangdao: "The cabinet has no right to arrange the next generation of sect heads of the thirteen aristocratic families. On the contrary, the thirteen ministers of the cabinet are subject to the arrangements of the sect heads of each family."
Eunuch Feng said: "Then, you take action tonight. It's not rude to come and go without reciprocating. You attack the show hall at night! Don't pretend to be a gentleman, I know you are not!"
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I won't go. If I go, I can indeed severely injure the young master, but the child will not be happy. If I were him, I would definitely want to defeat the young master myself. He should think so too." Eunuch Feng frowned and sighed. : "Then I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao Chen will lose first in this examination. Do you think Mr. Xiao Chen has a chance in the palace examination in a month's time?"
Chen Tang said decisively: "After one month, the young master will definitely be defeated!"
Eunuch Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chen Shi who was chatting and laughing, and said, "Then wait for the battle in a month!"
Chen Tang nodded lightly.
Eunuch Feng said: "Chen Wu has left Xijing and gone to Despair Slope. You have been investigating for a long time and know how scary the other party is. Don't you want to dissuade him?" Chen Tang said: "I can't dissuade him. Moreover, he is also extremely scary. "
Eunuch Feng said: "The true kings are all gone. Those monks who were extraordinary and holy in the past are no match for others. An era has ended. What use can Chen Wu find in the past?" He looked calm and said: "Chen Tang, I looked around and my eyes were full of despair."
Chen Tang was silent.
The conversation between Chen Shi, Cheng Qi and Granny Sha had just come to an end. Granny Sha smiled and said: "Cheng Qi is indeed very talented and has a deep attainment in talismans. He is bound to have extraordinary achievements in talismans. You should join the San Clan! When you get to Hongshan Hall, I will get you a San Clan invitation. In nine years, there will be the next San Clan gathering. At that time, you will also be eligible to participate."
The conversation between the three of them just now was basically between Chen Shi and Granny Sha. Cheng Qi could only listen and occasionally add a word or two. But even one or two sentences had already made Granny Sha look at him with admiration and thought that He was extremely talented. However, Chen Shi and Granny Sha soon started talking about topics ranging from talismans to the realm of ghosts and gods, which were too advanced for him, like listening to a book from heaven.
Chen Tang said: "Chen Shi, go have a meal and prepare for the martial arts test in the afternoon!"
Chen Shi turned a deaf ear and continued to communicate with Granny Sha on how to evolve the realm of ghosts and gods from innate gossip.
"Since there are changes in the universe, there must also be changes in wind and thunder, mountains and rivers, and changes in water and fire! Changes in the universe are the most difficult, but these three realms of ghosts and gods are the easiest. They cannot be used here." Granny Sha said, "Let's go outside the city! I don’t believe that the brains of the two of us can’t compare to the brain of the creation Xiao Wu!”
Chen Shi suggested: "I have Xiaozhutian refined in the Void Realm at home, why not go to Xiaozhutian to try it."
Grandma Sha shook her head and said, "No, the void is not the real heaven and earth, and there are always many falsehoods in demonstrating Taoism." Although her cultivation level is not very high, her insights are extremely profound.
The two of them walked out of the city. Not far away, Xiang Yunfei looked up at the adults and saw that the woman he liked had left with someone else, and he felt a sense of loss.
Chen Shi and Granny Sha arrived outside the city, looked for an open space, and immediately studied the three changes. They did not start directly with the Bagua Body Protection Technique, but started from scratch, starting from Taishang Bagua Bodyguard Talisman. Looking for the foundation of Taoism. The two of them studied until the afternoon. When Chen Tang came to urge them, Chen Shi was shocked to realize that there would be a martial arts test in the afternoon.
"Sister Sha, wait for me! I'll be back after I finish the exam!"
He bid farewell to Granny Sha and hurried to the martial arts performance hall of Shenji Camp. The martial arts test in the afternoon was about art, focusing on technical skills.
A scholar performs a skill in which he is most proficient, which can be drawing talismans, spells, flying, swordsmanship, etc., and it is evaluated by the examiner.
This scene was not difficult for Chen Shi. His mind was entirely on the three transformations of wind and thunder, mountains and rivers, and water and fire. He casually cast a set of spells to deal with it, and then left in a hurry.
However, the young master went all out and performed the magic of dragon and phoenix descending from the nine heavens, which shocked the whole audience in the exam. For a time, there were voices calling for the young master both inside and outside the court. The young master was full of ambition and looked around, but there was no sign of Chen Shi, and he felt in his heart I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
There was another incident that caused quite a stir in this martial arts test. During the martial arts test, more than ten Juren broke through their inherent realms and entered the realm of gods! "It's those Juren with muddy legs again!" The officials in Xijing were surprised. extremely.
This year's exam is really weird. In previous years, it was the children from aristocratic families who took the lead, shining brightly in the exam and winning cheers. But this year is different.
Not many children from aristocratic families excelled in this year's exam, but many powerful figures emerged from the country bumpkins. "Are there no members from the thirteenth aristocratic family this year?" an examiner asked with a frown.
"Yes. I lived in Qixia Temple and disappeared for some reason. I heard someone said that he was eaten by the female fairy at the end of the white jade stairs."
An examiner knew about this and said, "Some people say that the Dragon King climbed out of the well and ate them. The Thirteenth Family sent many experts into Qixia Temple to search for the whereabouts of these people. It is said that at night, the female fairy Then he came out and waved to them. An adult from the Li family who beheaded three corpses was bewitched by the female fairy, walked over, and then disappeared."
An examiner came over and said, "I heard that some of them entered the Dragon Well and were beaten up by the Dragon King in the well, and almost didn't come out alive." Everyone was shocked: "Are these two evil spirits so powerful?"
"I heard that they are evil spirits left over from the True King's era. The True King could not kill them back then."
An examiner from the Ministry of Etiquette was a little embarrassed and said, "If all the candidates coming up this year are idiots with no background, how can they explain it to their superiors?" Everyone stopped talking.
There are many small aristocratic families in various places, but although the children of these small aristocratic families have family secrets, their family secrets are not as good as the skills learned by these country bumpkins, and the power of their spells is not as great as others, and their realm may be a little higher. But it is limited. This matter is not only a headache for them, but also for the cabinet and other officials.
In addition to the core disciples who disappeared from Qixia Temple, there are still many disciples who came to participate in this spring festival. However, these disciples are not very outstanding. They originally had a chance to win. After entering Xijing, they wandered around the Huajie and Liuxiang, and became a The clear stream lingering in the brothel.
These days, they don't practice much.
However, in order to make money, these clay-legged lifters became Talisman Masters of the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association. They fought against evil spirits every day and developed their skills, and their cultivation level actually improved. On the contrary, the clay-legged lifters became popular in this spring. Extraordinary, there are only a few outstanding children from aristocratic families.
At night, Chen Shi and Granny Sha were still studying the three realms of ghosts and gods in Bagua, forgetting to sleep and eat, and never went home.
Chen Tang personally picked up a lantern and came to look for it, saying: "There is no rush to study today. Tomorrow is the last day of the examination, so we can't delay it."
Chen Shi had no choice but to go home with Chen Tang.
But even when he was eating, he was still thinking about the three transformations of ghosts and gods. He often forgot to chew while eating, and water and fire appeared around him, floating in the air, and suddenly evolved. Sometimes thunder would appear, and strong winds would emerge. The blow made the Chen Mansion seem like it was haunted. The night passed safely under the horrified eyes of the maids and servants of the Chen Mansion.
On the third day, the third session of the literary test was a question.
The first question: The saints in the past have succeeded one after another and unified the world. They established the outline and established the order, and the rituals and music were clear. They should hang down their clothes to govern. How can they be content? The young and strong are doing their best, showing off the Chinese inside and guarding the wilderness outside. Ask about the result.
Why do you like to kill? Second question: To rule the world, an emperor must have a way. What is the way to rule the world?
Chen Shi had no desire to answer questions this time, so he picked the shortest question, copied the title, wrote down his name, surname, and place of origin, and then let the clerk answer. He was immersed in the evolution of the three changes of ghosts and gods in the Bagua, completely forgetting himself.
.
Young Master and Zhang You looked at him frequently and saw that Chen Shi was distracted. They were each surprised, but they both breathed a sigh of relief. In the afternoon, there was the third martial arts test, a martial arts battle.
If Chen Shi was still in this state at that time, he would obviously not be their match!
After the third literary test was over, Chen Shi walked out of the Rites Yamen in a daze. Eunuch Feng couldn't help frowning when he saw Chen Shi's state. The fight in the afternoon was crucial. Chen Shi was in such a state that he could easily be defeated.
!
Not far away, Shi Shuixuanzhi, the head of the Fuzheng Pavilion, saw this scene from a distance. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Young Master is stable." At noon, Chen Shi was still a little out of shape while eating, and often lost his mind.
In the afternoon, the soldiers of the fifth military camp raised large flags, opened up the void, opened the two realms of Yin and Yang, and revealed a large realm mixed between the Yin and Yang realms. This is the Xijing Martial Arts Arena, where martial arts competitions have been tested in the past dynasties.
, are all carried out here. Rumor has it that this great realm that spans the two realms of Yin and Yang is the great realm of void left by a half-immortal in the True King era. It was refined into a blessed land, called the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land, which means that it runs through Yin and Yang.
A bridge between two worlds.
Many people were picked up by the soldiers of the fifth military camp and flew into the blessed land of Xianqiao.
Chen Tang and others were watching, when Grandma Sha rushed over and said loudly: "I understand! Xiao Shi, I realized the transformation of water and fire! Xiao Shi guides the sun and the moon, gathers Qi into smoke. Reincarnation of water and fire, all transformations are in the body
!The secret lies in the sun, moon and reincarnation!" Chen Tang shook his head and said: "Sister, you are late, he has already entered the blessed land. He was among the first batch to be sent in."
Granny Sha was stunned: "What should we do?"
In the blessed land of Xianqiao, the young master breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Today, I can finally use the secret knowledge passed down from my family."
Chapter completed!
