When the young official left with the investigation plan, Mo Qinggong flipped through the case files piled up on the table, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, with eyes that could not see much difference from his normal state.
, swept through the densely packed documents.
When the footsteps outside the study gradually faded away, he seemed to have found his target and pulled out several maps about the Chu Dynasty and beyond the Yinshan Mountains from the bookshelf.
…
The sun is about to set, and night is slowly approaching, as if there is a god in the distance, slowly holding a black flag and walking across the sky.
A black carriage slowly drove in from the hill outside the Tiger Wolf Northern Army station. The black carriage faced the dim sky in the distance, seeming to welcome the dark night.
In the central tent of the Tiger and Wolf Northern Army, the light was dim, with only an oil lamp burning.
On a bed covered with ordinary cotton mattresses, a man wearing a yellow python-patterned official robe sat cross-legged with an indifferent expression, listening to the sound of approaching wheels and the sound of war flags outside the tent.
Several strands of condensed heaven and earth energy were suspended outside his body, like several shields and several tombstones.
This man looks to be in his thirties, with a smooth complexion and a topaz-like luster. His forehead is broad and he looks extremely determined. His eyes contain great momentum, and he seems to be able to turn his whole body around at any time.
He holds a military camp in his hands.
This was one of the last generals to gain military power in the Great Qin Dynasty. With full military merit, Liang Lian, the general of the Longhu Northern Army, was the most likely candidate to become a marquis.
After dozens of breaths passed, a masked yellow-robed practitioner quietly walked into the camp and placed two large iron boxes half a man's height beside the bed as if nothing had happened.
She sat on the box and looked at him levelly.
Liang Lian knew that he was from Jiaodong County.
Since Yuanwu ascended the throne and Zheng Xiu officially became the mistress of the entire Qin Dynasty, the color of the yellow robe, which resembles dry soil, has become a unique symbol of the Jiaodong County envoys.
Perhaps for some privileges or to show their distinctive status, these envoys from Jiaodong County never concealed their identities, and they must wear such yellow robes when entering Changling.
In the eyes of many elderly people in Changling, this was even a naked humiliation by Jiaodong County to the old dignitaries of Changling.
Compared to the average person, Liang Lian knew more about the people in Jiaodong County. He knew very well that within the Zheng family, there were also factions divided into factions. There were factions that were completely dependent on Queen Zheng Xiu, and there were factions that relied on seniority.
A faction with great strength and independence.
From some details on the clothes, we can tell that the person standing behind the yellow-robed practitioner in front of him should be a top master with an unknown reputation, the four practitioners from Jiaodong County who Zheng Xiu is most afraid of.
One of them is Zheng Bainiao.
"The Queen asked me to warn General Liang that what you are doing is too simple and crude. Being in Changling is no different from fighting an enemy country. We need gentler methods. The water in Changling is deep. Never think that you can easily crush anyone.
"
The yellow-robed cultivator paused and continued calmly: "However, the opinions given by my family are not like this. In other words, they still support your development in Changling City."
Liang Lian looked at the other party indifferently and said nothing. He only heard the masked man in yellow robe continue: "As long as you use gentle and careful methods to completely capture the power of the two floors without any flaws, then there will be no problem.
."
"Of course, this is mainly your own business, General Liang. How to measure and plan, we will not interfere." Knowing that Liang Lian was eager to expand his influence as a feudal lord, he would not refuse his proposal. This man from Jiaodong County
The practitioner was silent for a moment and said:
"What the family really wants you to do is to take this opportunity to test out the two masters in Baiyangdong, as well as to find out the attitudes of the officials in many princely houses in Changling towards the queen, and to find out from them.
Some cooperation possibilities.”
"Xue Wangxu has actually entered the Seventh Realm. This is something I never thought of before." Liang Lian showed a cautious look on his face and said: "Coupled with another grandmaster Zhao Qing whose strength is still above him,
Even if there is anything involving Baiyang Cave, only one of them should be able to handle it."
"The key lies in the foundation of the strange master." The masked man in yellow robe said: "After the First World War, Xue Wangxu's specific strength has been revealed, and his past experience, personality and temperament have already been recorded in Jiaodong County's data.
"
"But so far, except for the information revealed by Baiyangdong himself, the family knows nothing about Zhao Qing, regardless of his origins, the skills he has practiced, his true combat power, and his temperament and attitude."
"After all, he is a powerful grandmaster who is on par with many princes, or even more powerful. Even if Shendu Supervisor and Supervisor Tiansi can't find anything unusual for the time being, the family is still not at ease and needs more information.
, depict her general appearance.”
"Only by grasping the overall situation of Changling and not exposing any factors that may lead to accidents, can we in Jiaodong County weave an invisible web to arrange everyone's life."
Having said this, the masked man in yellow robe chuckled softly: "Including helping General Liang take the last and most critical step to become the fourteenth prince of the Qin Dynasty."
Liang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not refute the other party's words that seemed extremely arrogant and wanted to control the government.
On the contrary, as an important military general who had cooperated with Jiaodong County for a long time and a loyal subordinate who served the Queen "wholeheartedly", he understood very well that the Queen's "family" did have such a powerful ability.
Jiaodong County's earliest strategic significance to the entire Qin Dynasty was just a port that could provide abundant seafood to supplement the army's meat supply. Even with the trade of fishing boats and some overseas rare elixirs, Jiaodong County accumulated huge wealth. In the past, Changling dignitaries
In his eyes, the people in Jiaodong County were just country bumpkins, fishermen, and second-rate traders.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But to this day, the entire Qin Dynasty, and even the entire world, has realized how powerful and terrifying Jiaodong County is.
What's scary is that most of Jiaodong County's huge wealth seems to have been used to arrange ears and eyes.
Jiaodong County has various terrifying sources.
Many secret things can be hidden from Shen Du Jian and Jian Tian Si, but not from Jiaodong County.
Jiaodong County pays a certain amount of attention to well-known practitioners, even the rising stars in those places of practice in Changling, including some students who have just started to practice but have performed very well.
There are several warehouses in Jiaodong County, which contain detailed information on many practitioners they pay close attention to.
Especially for the Grandmasters above the Seventh Realm, Jiaodong County has a detailed evaluation.
Many years ago, when Zheng Xiu entered Changling, Jiaodong County made an evaluation of the young talents of the same era as Zheng Xiu. Later, most of these young talents' development trajectories and advancements in cultivation were recorded.
It is very consistent with Jiaodong County’s assessment.
It is precisely with the support of the family of the two major sword sects of Minshan and Lingxu that she has countless plans and is secretly powerful enough to be unimaginable. Empress Zheng Xiu has firmly controlled the affairs of Changling in these years, as if she had received destiny.
The gods are omnipotent.
And Zhao Qing, who appeared out of nowhere, did nothing, but as an unstable factor, and the Baiyangdong where he was located had conflicts with the queen, he had become a thorn in the side of Jiaodong County.
"So, what are the things that require my cooperation?" Liang Lian took a deep breath and asked.
"To put it simply, the family will send several outstanding students to join Baiyang Cave and Ivy Sword Academy." The yellow-robed practitioner said lightly: "Besides, before the Lushan League is officially held, we need to design a
A new grandmaster battle for Zhao Qing to participate in."
"Grandmaster battle?" The guarded look in Liang Lian's eyes flashed away, and he quickly replied: "I shouldn't be Zhao Qing's opponent, and I can't force her to reveal her true identity."
"In the family's established plan, the most you can do is face off against Xue Wangxu, who is in the seventh realm. As for Zhao Qing, whose strength is unknown, there will be others to deal with it." The masked man in yellow robe said: "If necessary, Zheng
Lord Shiratori may personally take action and make the final decision."
Liang Lian looked slightly surprised: "He's actually here too? It seems that no matter what kind of trump cards Zhao Qing has, he will never escape the control of his family."
As the second uncle of Queen Zheng Xiu, Zheng Bainiao is actually the top master of the Seven Realms, and is even the best among them. He is almost comparable to the two. Ordinary Seven Realms like Liang Lian and Xue Wangxu,
I'm afraid it's hard to resist even one move.
Such a big shot quietly left Jiaodong and came to Changling, which undoubtedly showed that Jiaodong County was planning something important during this period.
"By the way, General Liang, the reward for your recent cooperation with the family is in these two boxes." After briefly reminding some matters, the yellow-robed practitioner stood up and prepared to leave, and finally said: "
It may be needed in the next few months."
Before he finished speaking, the other party's figure was no longer in the tent, and the black carriage in the distance began to drive slowly.
Without any hesitation, Liang Lian immediately opened the two large iron boxes brought by the yellow-robed man. What came into view were dark blue metal balls the size of fists, with densely packed runes engraved on the surface.
Recognizing the object on the top of the box, his pupils narrowed slightly unconsciously.
Because these metal balls are obviously the standard ordnance of the Chu Dynasty. They belong to the "Green Gold Killing Ball" series assembled in batches by the Chu Army. They have amazing power to harm practitioners of the Five Realms and Six Realms, and because they are one-time explosions
Artifacts are extremely difficult to imitate.
Underneath these green-gold killing balls, there are many other small symbols of different types, such as pulling strings, air-jumping talismans, etc. Most of them are more functional and lethal than the green-gold killing balls.
Qin sword is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. It is not only the use of swords. The largest number of sword-using sects in the world are gathered in Changling, but also the art of sword refining and sword making.
Except for Zhao Jianlu's several swords that condensed true fire and were forged countless times by powerful practitioners, most of the world's famous swords came from Qin's cultivation place in the past hundred years.
Compared with the Qin sword, the Chu Dynasty's technique of making talisman was the basis for the Chu Dynasty to compete with other dynasties for supremacy.
The nature of the sword embryo is relatively simple, but the making of the runes is more complicated. Carving the runes into an array to attract the vitality of heaven and earth and flowing like the meridians in the body of the practitioner requires not only the ultimate understanding of the runes, but also skills.
The superb casting, seal carving and other methods combine an astonishing number of lines into the square inch, and there is no deviation at all.
Therefore, whether Jiaodong County has mastered the technology to imitate a large number of Chu wares, or through some method, purchased the ordnance reserves of the Chu Dynasty in bulk, this has revealed its strong comprehensive strength.
In Changling, the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty, Chu weapons were used to launch various assassinations and attacks. Relying on the remaining fragments of the talisman as evidence, the Chu people could be relied upon to reduce suspicion.
And relying on this batch of high-quality talismans and future supplies from Jiaodong County, the Tiger and Wolf Northern Army under his command will become even stronger.
"One general has accomplished so much. It's time to make some of the people who stand in my way disappear." Liang Lian slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent and glanced at a black-shirted man who looked to be in his forties.
Master, looking indifferently at the streets of Changling in the distance, he spoke calmly.
…
Time passes quietly.
Night began to cover Baiyang Gorge.
In the Jingshi Cave, although the light beam falling from the top of the cave is still soft and bright, it has changed slightly.
The previous light beam was more like filtered pure sunlight, but the current light beam is obviously the light of gems.
At a certain moment, a wisp of breeze blew out from Ding Ning, who was sitting on the futon and meditating, and spread to the entire Jingshi Cave.
Under his skin, there seemed to be a luster that was not there before, and there were vaguely colorful jade lights flashing.
This means that Ding Ning has officially entered the first level of Tongxuan in his chosen technique, comprehended the five qi, and opened the sea of qi.
At this moment, whether it was Nangong Caishu who was delving into the mysteries of the "Yi Jin Jing" or the other students of the Ivy Sword Academy who were staying in the Jingshi Cave, their whole bodies were trembling slightly and they looked at Ding Ning with incredible eyes.
.
Among the rumors known to the outside world, only two monsters, An Baoshi of Lingxu Sword Sect and Jing Liuli of Minshan Sword Sect, have achieved the speed of breaking through the realm in half a day from the early years of Yuanwu to the present.
It took even the sword-mad Fang Xiumu dozens of days to master the mysteries.
Especially Nangong Caishu, she knew very well that what Ding Ning practiced was not the ordinary "Lingyuan Dao Zhenjie" that others saw on the surface, but the "Eternal Eternal Life Changchun Gong" whose structure system was very different from the mainstream today.
, naturally even more shocked.
However, according to Zhao Qing, there is no need for her to compare with such a rare genius in the world. She only needs to do her own thing well. Nangong Caishu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stopped.
Attention.
"It took so long." At the same time, Zhao Qing opened his eyes and carefully looked at the changes in Ding Ning's Dantian Qihai. He was thoughtful in his heart and made an evaluation that could make others stunned and doubtful about life.
Understanding the five qi and opening the sea of qi are all steps that are not included in the original version of the exercises compiled by me. They are contents that were added later after referring to the Jingshidong classics.
If we talk about the feeling of internal energy alone, although she herself felt it immediately after practicing it, for most people who practice low-end internal energy, it often takes two or three years for it to appear.
This is also the reason why many people in the world of Jin Yong and Gu Long do not practice internal skills and major in external hard skills. It is because their qualifications are not suitable, and the practice of internal skills is too slow to take effect. It took several years of concentrating on internal meditation to truly be able to sense the existence of meridians.
.
In this world, it is the sign of entering the first level of enlightenment and becoming a practitioner in the true sense.
Although it was only a small initial step, as one of the most qualified students in Qingteng Sword Academy, it took Nangong Caishu a full seven months to cross this threshold.
However, if someone like Ding Ning actually has a hidden cultivation level of the middle level of the second realm, and has the memory and foundation of past life cultivation, if it is replaced by ordinary exercises, it should not take half a stick of incense to achieve enlightenment.
The "Eternal Life Kung Fu" adapted by Zhao Qingzeng is roughly on the same level as the Korean Dynasty's "Slaying Three Corpses without Self" in terms of skill. However, in terms of entry requirements, due to the emphasis on
It means being carefree and at ease, but the difficulty is actually not very high.
Therefore, it took Ding Ning so long to successfully understand the mysteries, but it verified one of her conjectures. The rules of heaven and earth in this world are slightly different from those in the past few worlds. In fact, the humans born in it also have extremely subtle and difficult-to-detect characteristics.
the difference.
At present, it seems that in the world of Sword Dynasty, the structure of human meridians and acupuncture points is no different from what I have seen in the past. But one day I will come to a new world and find some humans who look similar but have completely different body structures.
It's very possible.
If you want to preach and teach the Dharma, you have to take these factors into consideration and adapt to them.
…
Some people break through the realm and shock the people around them, while some people break through the realm quietly.
More than two hours later, when Ding Ning returned to the Wutongluo Liquor Shop where he and his "aunt" Zhangsun Qianxue lived, Zhao Qing, who had studied the classics in the cave for a long time, had a sense of calmness and remoteness in his breath.
It also started a breakthrough in realm.
Although in the eyes of everyone, she is undoubtedly the real master of the Seven Realms of Moving Mountains, it is only at this moment that Zhao Qing has officially entered this mysterious field.
According to her previous discussion with Xue Wangxu, the rules of heaven and earth in this world, or the high-level laws of vitality, should be slightly different from the main world and the past few worlds.
It basically has no impact on the lower levels from the first level to the fifth level of divine thoughts. However, when the level reaches the level of cultivating the vitality of life, and involves the core elements of the cultivation system in this world, the differences gradually become apparent.
In order to ensure that it would not affect the key points of breaking into the six realms of "body spirit and soul", in order to reduce the "suppression of heaven and earth" and to deeply understand the similarities and differences of the practice systems of all walks of life, Zhao Qing chose to transform.
The way to repair.
In half a day, she successively entered the first realm of Tongxuan, the second realm of Qi refining, the third realm of true essence, the fourth realm of fused essence, the fifth realm of spiritual thoughts, and the sixth realm of life. She went through the steps of cultivation in the sea of Qi in Dantian.
He successfully reached the Seven Realms and moved the mountains, and suppressed the abnormal phenomena in the world that should have been caused when he broke through the realms.
It is worth mentioning that since the Seven Realms Moving Mountains can be regarded as the benchmark for entering the Lower Six Qi realms for the first time, theoretically it is half a step higher than the Shenjin Dacheng. After completing the transformation, Zhao Qing's complete strength has not been improved.
It does not fall but rises, which is mainly reflected in the increase in the total amount of vitality that can be called upon.
After deeply understanding the specific conditions of this realm, she also noticed the biggest flaw of the mountain-moving master. Although the power that can be exploded at one time is quite powerful, the speed of turnover and recovery is not very outstanding, and there is a big problem in continuous combat.
.
The body of a practitioner at the seventh level and above is a huge container for the vitality of heaven and earth. However, once it is depleted, it is naturally slow to replenish it. Especially when using some powerful techniques, it is far from as simple as losing some vitality.
Generally speaking, in a battle between Seven Realm Grandmasters, the winner can be determined by just a few moves. To be more precise, when all the strength is used, after a few moves, most of the true energy accumulated in the body will be consumed.
, the strength is significantly reduced.
If the consumption is too great and the true energy is used up in one battle, during the slow recovery process, it may even be unable to defeat the ordinary practitioners of the six realms and die at the hands of Xiao Xiao.
More than ten years ago, in the battle where Wang Jingmeng fought alone into Changling, twenty or thirty soldiers from the Seventh Realm and more than 20,000 of the most elite Qin troops died under his sword. This was already the pinnacle battle in the world.
force.
When Wang Jingmeng fell on the mountain of corpses piled up by the corpses of powerful practitioners, and could no longer attack him, first a low-level practitioner's flying sword pierced his body, and then from that battle
A seventh-level low-level grandmaster who was considered the weakest among them took action and burned him to ashes with Lihuo.
Although in that battle that year, many of the besiegers were top masters from outside the dynasty who had reached the top level of the Seventh Realm. They even used some earth-shattering talismans. Twenty or thirty Seventh Realm soldiers had achieved records that could actually be achieved.
Converted into far more ordinary seven realms than this number;
But this gap, in Zhao Qing's eyes, is not very big. It is far from the point where killing the same level instantly is like chopping melons and vegetables. It cannot be said to be truly invincible.
She can be sure that after four or five months in this world, when she officially enters the "Lower Six Qi" realm, although she doesn't know how the battle against Qitian in the upper eight realms will be, if she is only faced with the siege of a group of seventh realm masters, she can rely on
The resilience is far superior to that of the cultivation system in this world. I'm afraid it's only a few who come and a few are given away.
However, this will happen after a long time. Now, what I need to pay more attention to is the practice of moving mountains in the Seventh Realm. As soon as possible, I can improve my cultivation level from the lower level of the Seventh Realm to a higher level and properly mobilize the combat power.
growth of.
It is best to go straight to the Eight Realms of Qitian without any hindrance, stand on a high place, play a leading and accelerating role in the practice of the main world system, promote each other, learn from each other's strengths, and integrate with each other.
The premise for all this requires Zhao Qing to have a deeper understanding of the cultivation of natal energy and natal objects.
Generally speaking, in the sixth realm of natal life, most practitioners have already chosen the natal object they want to refine, and use the natal energy to nourish and refine it, cultivating both life and life, and improving their skills, which is similar to Taoist inner elixir cultivation.
.
In a sense, it can also be regarded as the human version of Jiao Dan and Dragon Pearl, which stores most of the practitioner's vitality and cultivation. According to Zhao Qing's speculation, it was originally the product of ancient practitioners imitating the strange beasts of the ancient times.
Although some practitioners, such as Changsun Qianxue, have not yet refined their natal objects when they reach the Seventh Realm Moving Mountains, and only want to refine the Jiuyou Pluto King Sword into a natal sword, the previous cultivation of the six realms' natal objects does not actually require a natal object.
Participation.
However, there is no doubt that this kind of practice that goes against the mainstream of the world is definitely a thankless situation and will significantly slow down the progress of practice.
Continuously accumulating natal energy in the body and concentrating on cultivating a certain natal object is itself a process of accumulation and realization from the six realms to the seventh realm, and from the seventh realm to the eighth realm.
As one of the legendary treasures of Emperor You, the power of the Nine Nether King Sword itself is at the peak level of the Seventh Realm. The eldest grandson Qianxue prefers the far away. As long as the refining is successful, there will be rewards, and he will immediately gain extremely strong combat power.
increase.
But for Zhao Qing, she has no need for such foreign objects. Although she broke through seven realms in one day and entered the mountain without a natal object, she still prefers to refine a unique natal object. From this analysis
The deep mystery of practicing beyond this world.
"Then, what kind of natal object should I choose and what form of natal sword should I cultivate?" Slowly finishing his exercises and walking outside the Jingshi Cave, Zhao Qing looked at the black outline of Changling in the distance and thought secretly in his heart.
