There is a party tonight, so I rushed out this chapter and updated it early, haha.
Kang Long, the biggest beneficiary of this incident, was hiding in the secret room of Dark Night Hall where the archives were collected, laughing secretly.
In the past month, Kang Long not only successfully solved the task of sneaking into the Dark Night Hall, but also gradually moved from the edge of power to the core of power.
I believe it won't be long before Young Master Haoyu will meet him in person and clarify their relationship.
Not only that, Kang Long also made great progress in his studies during this period of time. This was mainly due to the scroll of Promise that the inexplicable lazy handsome gave him.
Consolidating the scattered innate aura in the eight extraordinary meridians is not something that can be accomplished overnight. This Wuji method just makes up for the shortcomings of Xingyiquan's lack of static skills.
Wuji** is precisely the best method of static exercise. Wuji** was born out of Taoist life-nurturing skills. It says that everything in the world belongs to Tao. Tao is born before heaven and earth. It has no beginning and no end. Tao creates one, which is Tai Chi; a lifetime
Two is the source of yin and yang for Tai Chi; two is the source of three, the essence, energy, and spirit of the three talents; three is the source of all things.
Wuji Gong requires that all things return to three, three to two, two to one, and one to Dao. When the Dao elixir is completed, the Dao method will be completed.
Kang Long had previously practiced Xingyiquan, thinking that he had reached the second level of refining Qi and transforming into God, but he did not know that this was a big mistake. The real process of refining Qi and transforming Qi, refining Qi and transforming into Spirit, refining Spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Dao.
It is the process of all things returning to three, three returning to two, two returning to one, and one returning to Tao.
He only collects the acquired aura in the meridians of the limbs into the Dantian, and practices boxing and Taoism every day to strengthen this acquired aura. If he cannot truly collect the innate aura in the eight extraordinary meridians into the Dantian, he can truly refine it.
Qi is not an introduction to Xuan Gong at all.
Fortunately, the acquired qi has already been cultivated. Now, if you only need to practice the innate qi, you will have successfully entered the ranks of Xuan Gong.
In one month, which can be said to be long or short, he has successfully opened six meridians, leaving only two meridians, Ren meridian and Du meridian, that have not been opened.
Only those who pass these two levels can be considered a true Xuan Gong master.
However, it is not easy to open up the life and death of Ren and Du's two meridians, so that Hou Tian Qi and Innate Essence can be unified, and all things return to three. Only those who are masters of martial arts in the world can be considered as masters if they have passed this level.
master.
If you can't get through the mysterious entrance, you can only practice Hou Tian Qi and practice martial arts hard, you will eventually be able to stay at the master craftsman stage. At a lower level, you can only be regarded as a martial artist.
Above the Grand Master, if one successfully turns the inner breath into a bit of God and exists in the Divine Court, and reaches the stage of refining Qi and turning into God, then one will be the master of decision-making in the world, the realm of the Grand Master.
I'm afraid no one knows whether there is anyone above the Grand Master who can achieve it.
Now the four Xuan Gong masters that Kang Long saw, Ye Shuai, Li Yi and Lan Lanshuai, can be regarded as masters in the master realm, while Yan Shiniang is still a little far away from the master realm, but has surpassed the master craftsman and is facing the imperial court.
Just trying hard to reach the master level.
Among the scattered innate essences in the eight extraordinary meridians, the most difficult one to get through is the Xuanguan of Ren meridian and Du meridian.
However, if you want to make a difference in this world, you may not be able to rely solely on martial arts. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, your energy will eventually be limited. As the saying goes, two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and a good man cannot withstand a crowd.
It's okay to rely on Xuan Gong to save your life, but if you want to make a difference, you still need personal wisdom and opportunity.
Kang Long had experienced many life-and-death battles in his previous life, and knew that great things could not be achieved by relying solely on personal force and blood.
When he accidentally got the news that Marshal Ye actually led the elite night group of An Ye Hall to Dengzhou to assassinate Wei Shang, he had a vague feeling that this matter was unusual.
Unfortunately, he was not Ye Shuai's confidant and did not fully gain Ye Shuai's trust, so he was not allowed to participate in this operation at all.
If he hadn't paid close attention to this matter and based on the clues, he could deduce that this time Commander Ye was most likely following the instructions of Young Master Haoyu to uproot Wei Shang, the commander of Wei Sheng Jiedu, and he wouldn't have made such a bold move.
plan of.
There are two things he lacks the most right now, one is manpower, and the other is money.
In terms of manpower, he only controlled a hundred reliable people among the Fu family's guards, including Lu Xing, but he was empty-handed with money.
After repeated thinking and analysis, Kang Long boldly speculated that after picking up Wei Shang this time, Ye Shuai would most likely transport all the savings Wei Shang had accumulated from running Dengzhou over the years to Luoyang for Young Master Haoyu's use.
Young Master Haoyu is now fully fledged and has firmly controlled the political circles of the Jin Dynasty. The only thing he lacks is probably an army.
But in troubled times, if you want to achieve great things, you can't do it without an army. That's why he urgently united the forces of the towns, openly using the power of the court to mobilize the troops of each town, but secretly he wanted to
Performing meritorious deeds on the battlefield will facilitate the recruitment of trusted officers into the army and control the power of the army.
This time the Khitan army attacked the Jin Dynasty, and this is probably the reason why Young Master Haoyu was so dedicated.
If you want to firmly control the army, you can't just have officers. You must also have free money in your hands as military pay. Without military pay, a fool will sacrifice his life for you.
After comprehensive analysis, Kang Long secretly contacted Lu Xing and others and promptly trained according to his prior arrangements. At the same time, he secretly established his first stronghold in the suburbs of Luoyang.
This stronghold was exactly the small valley where he and Lu Xing were in love before.
Under the guise of training Fu family guards, Lu Xing built a secret base with complete facilities in the small valley based on the experience of the special forces in his previous life.
The small valley is protected by earth slopes on three sides, and faces the water on one side. There is also an open and flat river beach next to the water. The river beach is overgrown with weeds as high as half a person, making it an excellent place for both offense and defense.
This time, the elite secret night team led by Ye Er was robbed and killed. Although he did not directly participate in the command, he hid aside and paid close attention to the changes in the entire scene.
The ability of Lu Xing and others was beyond Kang Long's expectation. He originally thought that if he wanted to wipe out these elites of Dark Night Hall in one fell swoop, Lu Xing and others would suffer a lot of casualties, but he didn't expect them to do so well. Look.
During this time, they have been working hard to train hard.
Only when something happened during the robbery and killing of Ye Er, Ye Er was worthy of being a killer trained by Ye Shuai. Although Lu Xing and others had laid out three levels of robbery and killing, the first level was the three teams of Langya, Wolf Claw and Langtou.
The second level was for Wolf Eyes to support him and use special crossbows to cover up the kill. The third level was for the reserve mad squadron to rob and kill in case any fish slipped through the net. Still, he took advantage of the convenient location and made a surprise attack.
In the end, it was Kang Long who took action, using a harrier move to overturn the phoenix dance, and cut Ye Er into five pieces, finally finishing him off.
We don't blame Kang Long for being cruel, it's actually that Ye Er's assassination technique was so special and weird that it was like the ninjutsu that would become famous in Japan in later generations, mixed with illusions.
Seeing that his arm had been cut off by Lu Xing's three-edged blood blade, in the blink of an eye, an intact person appeared in another direction and continued to run away.
Kang Long guessed that this superb ninjutsu was probably a secret assassination technique that was softened by ninjutsu, jujitsu and illusion.
There is only one way to deal with such people, and that is to dismember them.
Kang Long's plan gradually became clear. Now the troops and horses mobilized by the Jin Dynasty from various towns have gathered and headed for Yedu. Jing Yanguang is recruiting envoys for the northern camp and is fully responsible for all military affairs in the north.
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Bing in the northwest were at Yanmen Pass. On the surface, they were following the imperial decree to resist the Khitan left army, but in fact they had other plans. Fu Yanqing, in Cangzhou in the northeast, assembled an army of 20,000 troops and marched straight into Zijin Pass, which exceeded the imperial court's expectations. It seems that
His posture really makes him want to compete with the Khitans.
However, Kang Long was not optimistic about these three groups resisting the Khitan army. If the Khitan army marched straight in, under the leadership of Du Chongwei, who wanted to be Sun Emperor, it would most likely reach Luoyang, the capital.
However, since the main war faction in the imperial court had the upper hand, they kept claiming that the Khitan soldiers were actually just a handful, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Under this kind of call, the whole Luoyang really had the idea that the Khitan soldiers were not very good and would be quickly repelled by the imperial army sent by the imperial court, but there was not much tension in the atmosphere.
Besides, Luoyang City is located at the key point of eight gates. Even if the Forbidden Army is defeated, as long as the gate is guarded, the Khitan soldiers may not be able to invade.
Kang Long, however, wanted to control a force that was enough to protect himself and even make meritorious deeds before the situation became complicated. His identity was always a problem. Even during the current war, few people cared that he was just a farmer. But if
If you want to find an official position in the imperial court, I'm afraid it's not as easy as Commander Ye said.
The only chance for him to sneak into the court confidently is to make achievements on the battlefield and silence those Confucian scholars and officials by virtue of their military exploits.
If you want to have an armed force, manpower is one key, and money is another.
Without money, it is difficult to capture people, without money, you cannot arm your forces, and without money, you cannot establish your own foothold.
The first step of the plan is to use the influence of Young Master Haoyu in the court to obtain a reasonable and legal identity for himself.
The second step is to use the stolen money to arm a reliable force of your own.
The third step is to wait and see the changes in the world situation. When the time comes, take action and make achievements on the battlefield.
These three steps are simple to say, but they are very difficult to implement. First of all, although he has now joined the Dark Night Hall, he has successfully gotten rid of Ye Er, who was supported by Ye Shuai, and has become the actual leader of the night group.
However, he has not entered the core of power of Young Master Haoyu. Even so far, he has not been officially received by Young Master Haoyu.
Furthermore, this batch of gold is still buried in a secret place. Ye Shuai is stepping up his search for the whereabouts of this batch of gold. Taking it out for use at this time is simply asking for death.
Third, judging from the current situation in Luoyang, the four passes of the Jin Dynasty are extremely tightly guarded. Liu Zhiyuan from Hedong may not be able to break through Tongguan to the west of Luoyang and invade Luoyang, the capital.
The most important point is that if Kang Long had not now had access to the files of An Ye Hall, he might still have a wrong understanding of the world situation at this moment.
It turns out that Haorantang still controls strength that no one can predict. If they deliberately confuse the situation, even the Jin royal family may be helpless.
