"You have been fighting with me for many years just because you are jealous of my five-color divine light. The Great Mother Phoenix came to mediate, but you stole the fire crystal and used it to practice. This caused the Phoenix clan to mutate. If I hadn't defeated you , take back the fire crystal, and the Phoenix clan will be in great trouble, and you will hate me to the bone because of this." Kong Xuan's face was as deep as water, and he sneered: "Phoenix gave birth to you and me. Although we were born in heaven, we still have the essence of a mother. .I don’t expect that after tens of thousands of years, you are still so cold-blooded, ignoring the cause and effect of kindness, no wonder your cultivation is lagging behind, and it is difficult to make progress!”
Feather Wing Immortal's face turned red and he shouted: "I have my own way of cultivation, what does it have to do with you! If you have the ability, let me go today. I will understand the Xuanxian in the future and I will fight with you again!"
Zhang Zixing interjected: "Even if you are lucky enough to realize the realm of Xuanxian, you will still be no match for my virtuous brother."
Yu Yixian glared at Zhang Zixing and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you judge me! If I were Xuanxian, how could he be my opponent?"
Zhang Zixing did not answer, and turned his gaze to Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan understood, and the colored light around his body began to flicker, and he slowly released his power. Yuyi Xian felt a terrible sense of oppression coming towards him, going straight into his heart, almost He couldn't even breathe. What frightened him even more was that the pressure continued to increase, almost endlessly.
Previously, Kong Xuan only used his true power to fight Dapeng. Dapeng vaguely felt that Kong Xuan had a higher level of cultivation than him. He immediately guessed that Kong Xuan was a mysterious immortal, but he did not expect that he was so powerful.
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared, and Yuyi Xian was relieved. He took a few breaths and looked at the five-color light gradually shrinking around Kong Xuan. He couldn't help but be frightened and exclaimed: "What realm of Xuanxian have you reached? "
"Xuanxian ascends the level."
Kong Xuan's bland answer made Yu Yixian's fighting spirit almost collapse, and he shouted: "Impossible! How could you enter the country like this?"
Although he said this, Yu Yixian knew very well that Kong Xuan's personality would never be made out of nothing, so he couldn't help but feel depressed. The gap between the lower level Xuanxian and the upper level Xuanxian was as huge as the lower level Jinxian and the upper level Jinxian.
He is now at the pinnacle of the upper level of the Golden Immortal, and is only one step away from the lower level of the Xuan Immortal. However, it is extremely difficult to break through this line. It is not only a matter of time, but also requires considerable understanding and rare opportunities. It was even more unimaginable to cultivate to an advanced level on par with Kong Xuan. Moreover, he knew the power of Kong Xuan's five-color divine light best. Even if he was also an advanced Mysterious Immortal, it would be difficult to defeat Kong Xuan.
Yu Yixian couldn't figure it out. Kong Xuan was only born hundreds of years earlier than him. In total, he only had those hundreds of years more cultivation. Even if Kong Xuan was more enlightened and had better opportunities than him, the relationship between the two There can't be such a huge gap.
But Kong Xuan's next words made him prick up his ears: "My cultivation is the result of hard work and hard work. It was only due to chance that I realized the magic of the immortals. I also realized it from the five-color divine light. I came out of the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth and reached the middle level by luck. A few years ago, I had just reached the middle level of Xuanxian. But since I met my brother, I had an epiphany and broke through to the upper level of Xuanxian. During this period, when I followed my brother, I gained His speech enlightenment has gradually reached the top of the higher level."
In just a few years, he broke through from the middle level of Xuanxian to the upper level of Xuanxian! And from the upper level to reach the peak? This is a level that can only be achieved in tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions of years, but it can actually be achieved in a few years. Did you do it within yourself? To put it exaggeratedly, if you take the next step, wouldn’t you be a saint?
Zhang Zixing hurriedly said: "These are opportunities for my good brother, what do they have to do with me?"
Kong Xuan said sternly: "Brother, why should I be too modest? Without him, I would still be wandering at the beginning of the middle level. How could I be where I am today? I vow not to forget your kindness in the past."
Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
After hearing this, Yu Yixian became more certain of the key role played by this "incompetent person" in Kong Xuan's advancement, and couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Zixing.
Kong Xuan said: "For the sake of my great mother Phoenix, I will not make things difficult for you today. You can go back to Penglai Island! If you are still entangled here, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yu Yixian knew that there was a huge gap in strength between him and him, so he did not dare to hold on. He adjusted his breath for a while, stood up, and said to Zhang Zixing: "If you can help me understand the realm of Xuanxian, I will also respect you." Brother! I swear in the name of the demon clan that I will never go back on this matter!"
Zhang Zixing was immediately confused when he heard this. It was his wish to be helped by a powerful person like Yuyi Xian, but he himself didn't know how to help Yuyi Xian become a mysterious immortal. Could it be that he should teach him the secrets of the Four Spirits' Qi? This is Impossible.
Moreover, once Yu Yi Xian stays with him for a long time and "realizes", sooner or later he will discover the secret of his emperor's identity. From Kong Xuan's previous words, it can be seen that Yu Yi Xian is the kind of person who is unreasonable and rebellious. , this kind of person is extremely unreliable, how can we let him know the secret? Unless he is allowed to hand over his life soul and completely surrender like Fang Xi and others. The problem is that Yuyi Xian is an extremely arrogant and conceited type, so this requirement is just a matter of fear. As soon as you bring it up, you will immediately fall out.
If he doesn't agree, it's inevitable that this guy will hold a grudge. If he suddenly gets inspired and flaps his wings against Chao Ge, it's not a joke.
Zhang Zixing thought for a long time, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said: "Because you and I, my virtuous brother and my mother, have a close relationship, I will give you a passage here. If you can understand it, you will be able to understand the great way. By then, It's not too late to respect me as your brother, please remember it carefully."
Yuyi Xian hurriedly listened attentively, only to hear Zhang Zixing chanting: "The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. It can be named, but it is very named. Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth. Being is called the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing. I want to observe it. Wonderful. It always exists. I want to observe its effects. These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mysterious. Mysterious and mysterious, they are the door to all wonderful things."
Feather Wing Immortal thought about it carefully and realized that this sentence contained profound truths from heaven and earth. It was extremely mysterious and was by no means a perfunctory statement. He couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment. He bowed deeply to Zhang Zixing and said, "Thank you for your kindness, brother! I am now returning to Penglai." , meditate behind closed doors. Dare you ask my brother’s name? Where is the Immortal Mountain? If you understand the Great Way, you will surely be rewarded in the future.”
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but laugh and cry. This Dapeng was really snobbish, and he immediately called him "brother"! Kong Xuan answered for him: "Please remember, my brother is the master of the Great Shang Kingdom, and his Taoist name is Xiaoyaozi. Today you I will make a solemn oath to form a good relationship with him, and if I achieve anything in the future, I will repay this kindness."
This time, Yu Yi Xian didn't get angry with Kong Xuan. He said a few words of obedience, said goodbye to Zhang Zixing, and left in a hurry.
Zhang Zixing knew that Dapeng must have found a place to "enlighten", and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. The paragraph just now was the first chapter of the "Tao Te Ching". The "Tao Te Ching" was written by Li Er in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the setting of this world, It must be determined that this Li Er is Lao Tzu, the sage of Bajing Palace. Li Er should be the incarnation of Lao Tzu in later generations to spread his own teachings, so this sentence "The Tao can be Tao" is the "Tao" principle understood by the sage. The above is a genuine and mysterious statement.
This section of the "Tao Te Ching" not only successfully sent away the Winged Immortal, but also forged a good cause and effect. If this Dapeng can really understand the truth from it and advance to the level of Xuanxian, then there will be one more Xuanxian in the future.
Little brother, I just don’t know how many years we have to wait for this “future”.
Kong Xuan, who was on the side, looked deep in thought, pondering this passage secretly, and praised: "Brother Huang, this passage is very mysterious and contains profound mysteries. Can you explain it in detail to my foolish brother?"
Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "Don't ask me, in fact, this sentence was plagiarized by me, and I don't know the reason."
Kong Xuan was speechless for a while, and then Zhang Zixing told him the entire original text of the Tao Te Ching. When Kong Xuan heard the last sentence, "The way of a sage is to do it without fighting," he couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that this article was written by a sage?
"
Zhang Zixing replied: "I came across this article by chance. It is said to be written by the saint of Bajing Palace. The principles are extremely profound. I think the way of governing the country described in this book is 'a small country with few people, govern by doing nothing', so I don't take it seriously."
I don’t know if there is really the ultimate principle of Hunyuan in it.”
Kong Xuan chewed the phrase "The way of a saint is to work without fighting" over and over again. His brows furrowed more and more tightly, but he kept shaking his head. Zhang Zixing was afraid that he would go astray, so he quickly said: "Brother, you don't have to be so persistent. Since Hongjun
Below, there are only six saints, each of them has achieved enlightenment. Each has its own unique way, and they are not all the same. Moreover, people have their own differences, so why should we use human ways to force my way? It is said that all roads lead to... that Hunyuan."
Kong Xuan was shocked and felt that all his depression was gone. Thinking that he had almost turned into a dead end, he screamed inwardly that it was dangerous. He was very grateful to Zhang Zixing: "Thank you for waking me up, otherwise my stupid brother will go astray!"
In fact, Zhang Zixing's view of the "Tao Te Ching" is: I can't write out all the secrets of Hunyuan Avenue for everyone to see. It's like winning a lottery ticket. Many people choose numbers and kill numbers according to one way or another. In the end,
But I can't win the big prize. The reason is very simple. If you use this method that everyone knows to select numbers and buy them, how can everyone win the big prize? But in the end, only one or two people can win the big prize, which is one in a billion. So if you want to win
To buy the grand prize, you have to follow a completely different approach than ordinary people. Of course, luck is still the most important factor.
In a sense, the same goes for sanctification. If everyone could become a saint by reading the Tao Te Ching, wouldn’t there be more saints than immortals in the world? So if you want to become a saint, you must find your own unique path and path.
Method, of course, is just like luck in buying lottery tickets, understanding and chance are the decisive factors.
Zhang Zixing and Kong Xuan flew back together, and suddenly they saw a red light in the sky ahead, which seemed to be in the direction of the Quanrong camp. When they rushed over, they met Yuan Hong. Yuan Hong reported the good news to Zhang Zixing: Zhang Kui and Chen Qi were attacking the enemy camp at night.
, almost annihilated all the Wolf Fang troops armed with sonic weapons, and the enemy camp was also set on fire. Zhaka was killed by Chen Qi, and Fu Biyuan was seriously injured by Zhang Kui. Fortunately, his guards fought to the death to protect him, and with the remaining thousands of soldiers
The cavalry fled back to Heshan City where Lang Ye was first.
Zhang Zixing was overjoyed, encouraged Yuan Hong a few words, and returned to Xiqi City together. At this time, Daji had already entered a dreamland under the influence of the magic water beads. Zhang Zixing felt a little tired after a busy night and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, the national army led an army to attack the enemy camp at night. The news of the great defeat of the Quanrong army spread throughout Xiqi, making everyone rejoiced. The emperor Longyan was very happy and immediately rewarded the two generals Zhang Kui and Chen Qi for their meritorious service.
It is a pity that the national master was injured while fighting a group of people and was resting in a secret place, so he could not show up.
When Daji heard the news that the Imperial Master was injured, a look of nervousness flashed in her eyes. When she heard that the injury was not serious, she lowered her head.
Zhang Zixing immediately ordered the entire army to march to Heshan City and directly attack the Quan Rong King Lang Ye first.
In Heshan City, when he learned that his side was defeated and only 8,000 of the fifty thousand Langya were left, Lang Yexian's complexion couldn't help but turn livid, while Fu Biyuan, the survivor of the three generals of Langya, was covered in cold sweat and knelt on the ground.
Don't dare to get up.
After all, Lang Yexian was a heroic figure. He soon calmed down and said to the Imperial Preceptor on the side: "The Imperial Preceptor was right at the beginning. I did underestimate Shang Jun."
The Imperial Preceptor said: "There are also many talented people in the great merchants. Under Xiqi City, He Chimu was thought to be arrogant and arrogant, and was killed by the enemy general. However, according to reports from the scouts, it was said that the night attack was carried out by one person.
This man is a master of the Great Shang Kingdom. He possesses miraculous skills. He actually used some kind of magic sound technique to make our army lose its fighting power. If he launches a surprise attack, it is not easy to escape eight thousand people."
"I didn't expect that there are people like this in Dashang!" Lang Ye nodded first and shouted to Fu Biyuan: "This time the enemy's army is powerful and has miraculous magic. It is reasonable for you to be invincible. Let's look at the national master.
In my face, I will spare you this time, but next time you will be punished and meritorious service!"
Fu Biyuan quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and Lang Ye first asked: "That Taoist friend of the National Master must have magical powers, so why can't he turn the tide?"
Fu Biyuan replied: "The Taoist leader used the technique of strong wind to cover up the magic sound. When he went to find the enemy, he never came back. He must have been defeated by the enemy. Then the enemy attacked and our army's combat strength was not restored.
Hence this failure."
The Imperial Master muttered: "That fellow Feather Wing Immortal Taoist has profound cultivation and extraordinary magical powers. He is on par with me. He was actually defeated by the Great Shang Imperial Master. Although I heard that the Imperial Master was also seriously injured, his magical powers can be seen.
Yibao. This time the merchant army is approaching Heshan City, and there will be a fierce battle. I will invite a few of my colleagues and friends to come together to help the king, and I will make sure that the merchant army never comes back!"
Lang Ye was overjoyed first: "With the imperial master here, why should we fear that the merchant army will become rampant?"
Not many days later, the merchant army finally arrived near Heshan City. They chose an important place to set up camp, make food and rest. The next day, Zhang Zixing personally led the army to fight at the foot of Heshan City.
Wolf Ye did not hold on and led his army out of the city to meet him. Wolf Ye first saw that the merchant army was fully formed, brightly dressed and full of energy. They were divided into four categories: infantry, spearmen, cavalry and archers, arranged in hierarchical formations.
It looked majestic. There was a huge flagpole in the center of the army, and a large flag with a black bird pattern was hung on it, with a big character "Shang" written on it. On both sides were the sun, moon, dragon and phoenix flags. Under the giant flag, all the generals were clustered in flowers.
Jin, holding a chariot, on which sat the enemy's monarch, the Emperor of Shang: Zhou!
I heard the Emperor of Shang shout: "The dogs and Rong people dare to repeatedly invade our territory, destroy our city, and massacre our great Shang people. This is extremely hateful! Now I will definitely slaughter all of you and all the dogs for our great cause."
The people of Shang are so angry!"
As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty became furious and shouted in unison: "Slaughter all the dogs! Take revenge!"
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted together, and the momentum was really astonishing. Even though the dog soldiers were extremely brave, they couldn't help but be frightened.
