Chapter 1082: Calamity
The piper is extremely cultivated, listens to the wind and discerns the shape, senses that someone is following, and sneers slightly, "There are really people who are not afraid of death who dare to follow." ”
After that, he carried Xiao Yilan up the mountain quickly.
Xiao Yilan knew that most of the people chasing him were Ming Qin, and she felt a little comforted, but she was afraid that he would be defeated by the piper and be poisoned.
Lishan is the dojo of Nuwa Niangniang, and according to legend, Nuwa refines stones here to make up for the sky. Although it is not as dangerous as the three mountains and five mountains, the scenery is unique, and many emperors have built palace annexes in the mountains.
The piper took Xiao Yilan up the mountain, Ling Feng and the clouds, comparable to an immortal. Lishan is only four or five hundred zhang high, which is not particularly lofty. But this is Nuwa's dojo, and it is loved by the emperor of the realm, and there are many gardens, which are difficult for ordinary people to set foot in, but it has become a refuge for demons and monsters, multiplying and flourishing.
Ming Qin grew up in Lishan, but the distance between the Zulong era and the era in which Ming Qin lived was too far away. The world is vast, and there are many similarities in place names, and Ming Qin is not sure whether this Lishan is a place he is familiar with.
The beginning of the shape of heaven and earth, the light and clear floating is the sky, the heavy turbidity is the earth, comparatively speaking, the rivers on the ground are still relatively stable, the rise and fall of later generations are impermanent, the history of the imperial court, the state and county governance have changed more, and the mountains and rivers have changed less. Moreover, the people of the vast land in the middle of summer, the four seasons are distinct, the north is bitter cold, the south is more miasma, the strong tribes rise from the north, sweeping the world, the south is divided and the country is built, and there is more than enough self-preservation but not enough progress. Of course, this is only a historical situation, since the five Hu Chang chaos, the clothes of the south, the six dynasties one after another, the north is ravaged by the barbarians, the vitality is withered, after the Anshi chaos, the economic center of gravity has also moved south, wealth to the southeast, there has been a strong south and weak north momentum.
However, the dragon clan is still in the north of the country, to fight in the four directions, which since the four spirit human race culture is higher, is a prosperous and rich land, after the dragon clan annexed the six countries, known as the central dragon country, in addition to the dragon bo, long zhong, long uncle, long ji four major dragon kingdom for the foreign domain.
Although the name of Our Lady of Lishan has been used by many people, Lishan is the Nuwa Niangniang Dojo after all, and there are not many people with the same name. However, the scenery on the mountain has changed a lot from later generations, and it is not a scene that Ming Qin is familiar with.
There is the palace built by the Dragon Emperor on the mountain, called Ganquan Palace, there are two palace walls inside and outside, planted with flowers and trees, and the garrison is strict.
Xiao Yilan is the beloved daughter of Xiao Qingxuan of the Flying Dragon Guard, who is in charge of the Dragon Emperor Luanyi, and is naturally quite familiar with the Dragon Emperor's Palace. A few days ago, Zulong was assassinated in the city, and maybe he would come to the mountains to recuperate. Although the flute is high, the ban on entering the palace at night may not be too big.
"Don't you want to ask about the rhythm, Sister Zhuo and I are close friends, and I know a little about the way of the sound, so I may be able to help you answer a question or two. What are you doing here, this is forbidden in the Dragon Emperor Palace, if you want to die, don't pull me. ”
Trespassing on the palace ban is a capital crime, the ancestral dragon male eagle is tyrannical, advocating the cruel law and punishment, and the six relatives do not recognize it when they use the knife. Even if Xiao Yilan is Xiao Qingxuan's daughter, I am afraid that she will not escape death.
"He is the Dragon Emperor, and I am the Night Emperor, so naturally I have to divide the high and low. ”
The piper revealed his identity, and although Xiao Yilan had guessed one or two, she couldn't help but be surprised. The Night Emperor is an immortal figure in the Demon Dao, if he hadn't suddenly retired, the Demon Dao would not have been torn apart and killed each other.
Xiao Wanlan was silent, the Night Emperor's cultivation has seen it for her, it is indeed supernatural, the Zhuo family is a huge wealth in Shenjing, there are many guards, and there are Mr. Wu You, Zixuzi, Sima Changge, Xie Xun and others here, the Night Emperor captured Xiao Wanlan in one fell swoop, and also defeated several masters with ease, her father Xiao Qingxuan is afraid that it will be difficult to do it so lightly.
But Zu Long is the emperor of the dragon clan, he lives deep in the palace and is guarded like a cloud, how can a reckless person easily approach. No matter how high the Night Emperor's Taoism is, it is just like swordsmanship and the art of war, there is a difference between one enemy and ten thousand enemies. Ancestral Dragon kills people, so why do you have to do it yourself.
"Are you really going to break into Ganquan Palace?"
Such a simple truth, the Night Emperor would not be unaware, even if he was profound, did he think that his own strength could run rampant?
"I'll pick up something. You'd better keep your mouth shut, for if the dragon guards catch you, they won't care who you are. ”
The Night Emperor's words are not bad, if Xiao Yilan is really caught by the guards, she will not dare to reveal her identity, otherwise she may implicate Xiao Qingxuan. Zulong successively established Dongcheng and Xishe, and his favor for Xiao Qingxuan was not as good as before, if he was caught and made up charges, the entire Xiao family would be destroyed. Fei Longwei secretly supervised hundreds of officials, found that there were misdeeds, arrested and imprisoned, nine deaths, Xiao Qingxuan was loyal to the Dragon Emperor over the years, although he was high and powerful, but he dared to offend many people, once the Dragon Emperor showed his intention to clean up the Xiao family, I believe that these people will definitely not miss the opportunity to fall into the ground.
The Night Emperor's cultivation is extremely high, even if he brings a person, there is no difficulty in entering and exiting the palace, he threw Xiao Yilan between a rockery in the palace courtyard, "You wait for me here, if you walk around indiscriminately and cause trouble, I can't control you." ”
"Hey ......"
Xiao Wanlan was just about to speak, when the Night Emperor flew up the ridge like a big bird, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"This man is really insane. I'm. ”
Xiao Yilan stomped her feet, secretly sulking. She really didn't dare to move around, the palace was heavily guarded, especially when the ancestral dragon moved to the palace to recuperate, the guards increased several times than usual, once the hiding was exposed, but it was difficult to fly with wings.
Ming Qin went up the mountain, and the movement of the phoenix's golden wings was too loud to be hidden, so he turned into light and shadow and tiptoed behind the two. Seeing that the Night Emperor left Xiao Yilan behind, he walked away without a trace. couldn't help but be surprised, I don't know what tricks the Night Emperor played. Looking at Xiao Yilan's sigh and thin appearance, she couldn't help but feel quite funny, released her spirit, showed her true body, and shouted: "Miss Xiao, are you okay?" ”
"Mingchin?"
When Xiao Yilan saw Ming Qin, she blinked her eyes and looked incredulous. According to her estimates, the speed of the Night Emperor is difficult to reach, and Mr. Wu You and the others are afraid that they will not be able to catch up, besides, they are Zhuo Nandou's disciples, as long as they protect the father and daughter of the Zhuo family, although Xiao Yilan has a special status, it is not within their scope of responsibility. Besides, Mr. Wu You and Zi Xuzi were not the opponents of the Night Emperor, so even if they came, it would be useless.
Xiao Yilan knew that Ming Qin was the descendant of the Southern Mo Sect, the grandson of Mo Yan, the general of the Phoenix Kingdom, and his cultivation should not be weak, but compared with the Night Emperor who was the great son of the Demon Sect, it was still far behind. He was able to catch up here, and Xiao Yilan also felt unbelievable.
"While the man hasn't returned, let's go. ”
Ming Qin was also quite jealous of the Night Emperor's cultivation and was unwilling to meet him. It's rare that the Night Emperor suddenly left Xiao Wanlan, and it would be great to be able to take the opportunity to save her.
"Do you know where this is?"
Xiao Yilan smiled slightly bitterly, "This is the Dragon Emperor's Palace, the Dragon Emperor was assassinated in the city a few days ago, and he has been lucky to be here." The guards of the palace are several times larger than in the past, and if the guards are alarmed, where is there still life. Without the superb body skills of the Night Emperor, we only have a dead end. By the way, how did you get here?"
Xiao Yilan asked herself if she couldn't fly away like the Night Emperor, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to escape from the palace without alarming the forbidden army masters guarding the Dragon Emperor.
What made her wonder was how Ming Qin could break into the palace ban without knowing it like the Night Emperor. Although the Light Body Technique itself does not have a powerful killing power, it is very important for cultivators. It is not only an important means of defense, but also has a qualitative improvement in attack power. However, the light body technique is related to personal talent, and it is even more difficult to cultivate. The feather people are born with wings, which can be described as unique. Other races do not have this kind of convenience, and the Protoss has a method of breathing in wind and clouds, the so-called 'the breath of the real person is the heel, and the breath of the people is the throat'. The meridian circulation of the human body is called Xiao Zhoutian, the yin and yang convection in nature is called Da Zhoutian, and the air inhalation wind and clouds are to travel around the whole body with the help of air flow to reach the realm of soaring clouds and fog, and the general light body technique and longitudinal technique are only in the small Zhou Tian.
In fact, there is no qualitative difference between the technique of light body lifting and soaring clouds and fog, Qi Ji jumps, can not take ten steps, and the immortals are high, they can fly to the sky. The main thing is the high level of the realm, if you can get a glimpse of the realm of the Great Zhou Tian, the ordinary martial arts moves, the light body technique can also show the power of the earth-shattering stone.
There is not much difference between the martial arts in the world and the art of immortal body refining, but it is always difficult for martial artists to break through their own limitations, and the so-called 'entering the Tao with martial arts' is itself a fallacy. There are three thousand avenues, and martial arts are also one of them, but 'martial arts' is only a means of behavior, from the Taoist point of view, it should be called the refining method, martial arts and Taoism are not two things, and there is no level of the realm. If there is no connection between the two, then the way of entering the Tao with martial arts cannot be established at all. Ordinary people think that the realm of the Tao is higher than that of martial arts, so it is not right to enter the Tao with martial arts to improve the realm. The ancients said, 'Warriors, stop fighting'. Although this is not the original intention of the word, it is a concept of the times, which is extremely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. 'Stopping Ge with force' is similar to the Mo family's 'non-attack', the Mo family's words are not attacking, not condemning and protesting, but fighting with tongues, but training a group of warriors who are good at defending battles. The six ancient arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, were originally both civil and military, and they were also skills. However, human beings are born of yin and yang, and cannot be neutral and unbiased, and Confucius preached, although there are also warriors such as Zilu, who can no longer be unbiased. Mozi is not attacking, and emphasizes the way of defending the war. Han Feizi then had the saying that 'Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban', so far the separation of civil and military has been very common.
Later generations of scribes were powerless, and they were really too weak. Although those who have courage may not be brave, and the strength of the physique can indeed increase courage, civilization with a high level of education is often destroyed by barbarian peoples, although it has the heaviest relationship with the corruption of the organizational system, and it is an indisputable fact that the higher the culture, the majority of people will inevitably tend to be weak.
Later generations of Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, and Law are all a kind of doctrine, and the spirit of martial arts is similar to that of Mo, which is also a kind of Taoism itself.
When ordinary people say that they enter the Tao with martial arts, they probably still refer to the improvement of skills. Ordinary warriors are just throwing steles and cracking stones, and they are naturally inferior to those who fly to the sky. The warrior has two inner and outer families, and he values the inner family, thinking that the outer family is just the strength of the muscles and bones.
However, the martial arts and the Tao of martial arts are not the difference between the inner and outer families, and the essence of the inner martial arts is the Taoist technique of breathing and refining qi, and boiling the muscles and bones is the method of taking food and refining the body. However, after the Great War of Heaven and Man, Emperor Jun abdicated, disappeared, and Fengmeng killed the master to support Xiao Jinwu to succeed to the throne, and soon was usurped by his son, who was the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor respects Taishang Laojun as the leader, there are four heavenly masters, Wu has Li Tianwang and his son, the four heavenly masters are all disciples of Taishang Laojun, Li Tianwang and his son are the disciples of Taishang Laojun, and Li Tianwang and his son are under the sect of expounding the teaching, and the method of refining qi tends to be in its heyday. Most of the martial arts of human beings are learned from the Four Spirits, such as Hua Tuo's Five Fowl Opera and Xingyi Fist. Although the ancient sages and kings taught the four spirits, and obtained the supreme classics such as the Longma River Map, the Divine Turtle Luoshu, the Phoenix Heavenly Book, and the Dan Zhao, the Four Spirits Taoism was also learned from the Protoss, and the Protoss was the descendant of Pangu, the master of the Pioneering, and the Taiyuan Virgin, and it was the undisputed master of the Three Realms since ancient times, even if the four spirits were strong, they could not shake the status of the Protoss. The dragon clan attacked the divine court, almost wanting to replace it, to a large extent, the divine clan had serious internal friction, and enslaved the four spirits, so that the heavens were angry and resentful, and they could not be cleaned up. The dragon clan merged the four spirits, mixed a mountain and sea, and the army was at its peak, and the dragon clan of Fang Xing conquered the decaying god clan before it was lucky. The human race was at its peak in the world of Yao Shun, when there were four fierce rebellions in the human race, and there was a threat from the dragon and the demon race outside, the god race originally used the human race to fight against the dragon and the demon race, after the human race was strong, the transformation and support of the dragon and the demon race, and the balance was checked, the situation of the human race was much more dangerous than when the ancestral dragon was born, and the dragon and the demon race were not prosperous. As the saying goes, 'where there is a will, there is a way', is not a false word.
It's a pity that the human race has a weak foundation after all, although there are one or two saint kings and wise men who have created a good situation, but they can't defend it. Dayi was killed, Emperor Shun could not return to the south, and human beings were no longer beautiful. Yu passed on Ziqi, and he was the head of the heavenly court, and the Taoism of the human race has always been quite different from that of the immortals.
Therefore, the essence of human martial arts and the essence of the body refining method of the Protoss does not have much inheritance, but is learned from the Four Spirits, supplemented by precise research. However, it is difficult for human martial arts to step into the realm of transcendence and sanctification, because of the constraints of physical conditions, and the moves and mental methods are still secondary.
However, the way of cultivation is to constantly break through its own boundaries, and it is not impossible to be reborn, but the Pangu line has withered away, and there is no inheritance in later generations, and the reconstruction of the heavenly court is the descendant of the Mother of Taiyuan. As for the so-called seven people who sanctified the flesh after the war, except for a few who entered the Tao from the Buddha, it can be said that it is the last voice of the method of refining the body. Especially Yang Jian, among the seven, has the highest mana, he is the grandson of Emperor Jun and the son of Xiao Jinwu, although he is a teacher of Yuding Zhenren, the power of the bloodline is also not possessed by others.
