Chapter 448: Three Stages
Du Ziping thought about it again, no, if Tietangxi's performance was the result of Dao Heart tempering, then the monks above the Jindan stage should not be in their minds. It's just that not to mention the monks of the Jindan period, even the monks of the Yuan period, not everyone has reached such a point.
Although he thought so, he still felt that this matter was related to the cultivation of the Dao Heart, but he couldn't think about it clearly for a while. He replied, "Uncle Tie, I won't go back to the sect first, and I'm going to refine my Dao heart outside to prepare for the knot." ”
Tie Tangxi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back first." If there are still thousand-year-old murder monks, you should notify this sect as soon as possible. ”
The three of Tietangxi flew out of the capital, but they saw that the battle between the two armies outside the city was one-sided, and although the Jade Dragon Empire's army was small, it had the upper hand, and the rebels and the Dongqiang allied forces were defeated and fled. The three of them felt a little strange, but they didn't care, so they flew towards Tianmen.
It turned out that when the palace changed, the rebels and the allied forces of the Eastern Qiang State took the opportunity to attack the city. Unexpectedly, Du Huan had already prepared for it, so he carried out a battle to defend the city and siege the city.
When the rebels saw that there was a change in the palace, they only said that God had helped them, and their morale was greatly boosted, but the Jade Dragon Empire was demoralized, and it was only because of the thick walls of the capital that they could barely stop it.
As time passed, the situation of the besieging side became more and more favorable, but the abnormal change protruded, four unusually beautiful women flew out of the air, one woman glanced down, and threw her colorful sleeves, releasing a large ball of flames, burning more than a thousand people in an instant. The woman then shouted, "Unprovoked rats, you dare to attack the Jade Dragon Empire. I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to come to beg for a thief. Although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear her clearly on the battlefield.
These four women are Yi Wanlian and her party. The woman who set the fire was Wen Ruyu. Although she is unwilling to do things like the mortal world, it is her grandson who is now ruling in the Jade Dragon Empire. Now that the Jade Dragon Empire is in danger, she casually helped. When these four people flew to the sky, everyone had regarded them as immortals, and now when they saw the immortals speaking, they were all awe-inspiring.
The sergeants of the Jade Dragon Empire saw that there were immortals to help, and their morale was greatly boosted, but when they looked at each other, they saw that the immortals were helping the Jade Dragon Empire, so they all retreated. Most of the officers who were supervising the formation in the back also fled, and a few officers wanted to kill several people to enforce military discipline, but the soldiers retreated too quickly, and not only did they not kill them, but they were hit and trampled into pulp. The Jade Dragon Empire's army took the opportunity to fight out of the city.
This battle was bloody, and corpses were everywhere. The rebels and the allied forces of the Eastern Qiang State fled in a hurry, fleeing for more than 100 miles, and then slowly picked up the remnants of the army. This battle relieved the siege of the imperial capital, and Du Huan contributed greatly, but many places in the Jade Dragon Empire were occupied by rebels, and there were some people with ulterior motives who took the opportunity to become independent.
Du Huan took the opportunity to ask to lead the troops to recover the country, but Du Yun signed it down, but only gave thousands of old and weak soldiers to Du Huan, who was obviously unwilling to make meritorious service to Du Huan, and even had the intention of killing people with a knife. Du Huan readily agreed and led these soldiers on a trip. Du Huan was originally outstanding, and with the help of the gods, he actually raised tens of thousands of horses, and within a few years, he conquered the Quartet, and his reputation was unique for a while.
Du Ziping has been cultivating in that passage for the past few years. The formation returned to normal the next day, and his entry and exit were not affected. In the past few years, although there has been no progress in his Dao heart tempering, the Dragon Transformation Decision has risen to the seventh layer of fetal movement, and the Hades King Jue has also made great progress. The natal sword qi, the red sun flame light, and the ice spirit cold light have been further enhanced.
However, the one who made the most progress was the Ice and Fire Polar Array, this Ice and Fire Polar Array was really wonderful, and it was extremely rare that this operation diagram alone could be used for mana cultivation. Du Ziping further discovered that this ice and fire polar array could also be used for the swordsmanship of the dragon slaying technique and the boxing cultivation of the Dragon God Fist.
On this day, he practiced the swordsmanship of the dragon slaying technique, and the two natal sword qi shot towards the stone wall, and with a bang, he stabbed a small hole in the stone wall with a diameter of an inch.
He withdrew his natal sword qi and swept it through his spiritual sense, only to find that there was something unusual in the small hole. He found that the cold and heat emanating from the cave were more intense than in other places.
His heart moved, and he said secretly: "Could it be that there are any treasures here?" Although he has been cultivating here for the past few years, he only thinks that this cold and hot power is a forbidden and clever set up by Shangguan Cloud City, and he has no thought of anything else.
He enlarged the small hole and sent out a crystal clear piece of fine jade, flat in shape, about the size of an ordinary rice bowl, embedded in the blue and black mountain wall, shining brightly! This piece of beautiful jade was divided into red and white, and exuded two kinds of power: cold and heat.
He pondered for a long time, and then concluded that this was a piece of Liangyi Xuanyu. These two Yi Xuanyu are the best of the two Yi stones, don't say that the two Yi Xuanyu, the two Yi stones are also rare treasures, so those Taoist people are still preparing to mine later. It's just that what they didn't expect was that instead of a large number of Liangyi Stones, there was a Liangyi Xuanyu.
He dug out this piece of Liangyi Xuanyu, and suddenly the cold and heat hit his face. This piece of Liangyi Xuanyu is about the size of a plate, and it is actually engraved with a formation pattern on it. Du Ziping took a closer look, and it was actually carved with an ice and fire polar array.
His heart moved, these two Yi Xuanyu must have been placed in it by Shangguan Yuncheng, otherwise these two Yi Xuanyu would never have generated this kind of formation pattern by themselves. He put these two jade in the jade box and sealed them with a forbidden charm, but found that there was no longer the cold and hot strength in the cave.
He secretly thought: Shangguan Yuncheng can also be regarded as a very deep plan, first teaching the Ice and Fire Polar Array, and then laying out the Ice and Fire Polar Array here. Fortunately, this sword practice found something different, otherwise this piece of Liangyi Xuanyu would have been missed.
He came out of the ground and came to the city again, but he heard a great event, that Du Yun had died. He was stunned in his heart, why did this Du Yun die at such a young age?
He came to the palace and quietly saw Du Yun's body, and found that there was no sign of victimization, knowing that Du Yun's health was too poor, which made him die at a young age. As early as a few years ago, he found out that none of the Du Yun brothers had practiced the exercises, so it was normal for Du Yun to die like this.
The next is who the emperor belongs to, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers are divided into two factions, one faction advocates letting Du Yun's son Du Chi take over the throne, and the other faction wants his brother to die and let Du Huan ascend the throne.
There was nothing to argue about in the first place. The successor to the throne of the Jade Dragon Empire has always been the succession of father and son. There is only one case of brother and brother, Du Ziping, because Du Ziping has no children. It turned out that Du Huan had made outstanding achievements in the past few years, and his reputation in the court had already surpassed Du Yun, and Du Yun also proposed a few years ago that if he died, Du Huan would take over the throne. It's just that at that time, he didn't have a son.
In fact, another purpose of Du Yun's words was to stabilize Du Huan. He had heard that Du Huan was going to rebel, but now Du Huan had a very high reputation and mastered the most elite soldiers and horses of the Jade Dragon Empire. There is another reason for the minister who advocates Du Huan to take over, that is, Du Yun's son is too young, only three years old. In contrast, Du Huan's political and military talents are extremely rare, so some people have proposed to be virtuous.
In the end, the two groups of ministers handed over the decision to Taishi Lu Feng. Lu Feng is the son of the former prime minister Lu Xiang, a very popular minister, with a very high reputation among the ministers, and he is also the emperor's teacher, that is, Du Yun's teacher. Just when everyone thought that Lu Feng would advocate Du Chi to take over the throne, Lu Feng said that he would support Du Huan.
He said: "Although the Longfei rebellion is peaceful, the Eastern Qiang Kingdom is still eyeing it. Du Feng is too young, how can he govern the world? At that time, I am afraid that the affairs of the harem will be indispensable. And Du Huan has excellent ability, and he is the best candidate to succeed him. ”
With the support of Lu Feng, Du Huan succeeded to the throne. When Lu Feng saw Du Huan succeeding to the throne, he proposed that he was old and in poor health, and hoped to retire. Du Huan naturally wouldn't agree, but Lu Feng resigned with an extremely resolute attitude, Du Huan didn't like this person in the first place, and after being rejected three times in a row, he pushed Lu Feng to retreat.
Du Ziping knew about this and was very curious about Lu Feng, so he came to Lu Feng's house. Lu Feng's son, Lu Zhong, was puzzled by Lu Feng's move, so he asked why.
Lu Feng said: "I am not the new emperor's descendant, although I have the merit of supporting it, but I was born early. Although the new emperor is lenient and generous, his descendants hate me to the core, and if someone provokes it, I am afraid that I will not be able to rush through it. ”
Lu Zhong said again: "Father, then why did you support the new emperor that day?"
Lu Feng said: "I support the new emperor's public heart. You must remember that in the future, when you do things in the court, if you have a dilemma, you need to think about the fortunes of the country and not be deceived by selfishness. Even if the axe is added to the body, the sharp blade will not hesitate to kill the neck, this is the bottom line for the minister. That's what your grandfather taught me. There is also everything that cannot be done, if you can become famous, you must retreat in the rapids, so that you can protect the country and protect your family. ”
I don't know if Lu Zhong understands it, but when Du Ziping heard this, his heart fluctuated. He was not moved by Lu Feng's words, but suddenly understood the essence of Dao Heart Tempering.
Dao Heart Tempering is divided into three stages, the first stage is to move forward bravely and never back down. The first stage of the monk is the same for all monks. In fact, most of the Jindan stage cultivators' Dao heart cultivation before the formation of the Dan was only like this. The second stage is called the integration of the mind and the Tao, that is, whatever the Tao is cultivated, it is necessary to temper one's own Dao mind.
This mental training is different for everyone, and it has to do with the exercises practiced and the nature of the mind. The method that Tietangxi cultivated was the Golden Blade Technique, which was a kind of upright exercise, so he paid attention to the uprightness of his Dao heart training, which was also the reason why he didn't get the treasure that day, but he didn't care about it. It's just that Tietangxi's Dao heart tempering is not mellow enough, after all, he has played a small trick.
At this stage, he is basically the limit of a monk in the fetal stage, and he is already an outstanding person among the monks in the stage of fetal movement. Such as the Jade Dragon Nineteen Immortals, Nineteen Gods and Demons, etc.
