Chapter 773: Meeting Mingkong Again
Nirvana Bone refers to an extra divine bone that is born in the body of a living being in addition to the proper bones.
Although these sacred bones are extra, they are more important to living beings than the bones that should have been there.
For example, the human body has 206 bones. If certain parts of the bones are missing, it will not lead to death. At most, the body will be mutilated.
But the Nirvana Bone is tied to the origin of life and is closely related to life. Once it is conceived, it is something that cannot be lost.
If it is lost, it will be severely damaged and its origin will be greatly damaged, affecting all aspects of itself.
It is equivalent to forcibly dividing one's own origin, and the remaining origin will be backlashed and difficult to be intact. It is equivalent to actively cutting off one's own life.
It is simply asking for death.
The damage caused by taking out the Nirvana Bone is more serious than being beaten to the point of death after a life-and-death battle!
Wonderland is no exception, and even the trauma will only become more serious and difficult.
When you are at a low level, your origins are immature and shallow, and there are various high-level treasures that can recover your injuries. But the higher your level, the harder it is to find corresponding treasures that can work for you.
Wounds from the origin of fairyland, what level of treasure is needed to have an effect?
Mingsheng realized that if his guess was true, then Emperor Sui's current situation must have been extremely bad, and he was probably struggling between life and death.
Emperor Sui had already lost his Nirvana Bone once when he was young. It is a miracle that people cannot understand that a second Nirvana Bone can grow back.
If the second Nirvana bone is taken out again now...
Ming Sheng had doubts in his heart about whether Emperor Sui could survive.
And if this matter is true, then Ming Sheng can probably understand the intention of Emperor Sui in doing this.
She must have wanted to give birth to a third Nirvana bone to take her strength to the next level.
In terms of realm, Emperor Sui has reached the extreme, reaching the end of the world today. There is no way forward and it is absolutely impossible to break the barrier.
But the realm cannot be improved, but the combat power may not have room for improvement.
Judging from the historical situation, the power of Emperor Sui's second nirvana bone was to crush the first bone that was taken away from him in all directions.
If she can grow a third Nirvana Bone after losing her second bone, it can be predicted that the power of this bone will be even greater than before, improving her combat power. It is inevitable.
By then, Emperor Sui, who is already extremely powerful among the immortals and has the potential to aspire to the throne, will probably become the undisputed number one in the world.
The future is bright, but even Mingsheng thinks this is quite crazy behavior.
It’s just like a lunatic.
"I hope you are safe and sound."
Ming Sheng shook his head slightly, feeling a little worried for Emperor Sui.
Although the two are not immortals of the same clan, the existence of Emperor Sui is extremely important to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Phoenix clan was able to fully support the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Sui played a leading role in it, because when Emperor Sui was young, he accidentally received help from the Eastern Zhou royal family.
That help was very important. It resolved a life and death crisis when Emperor Sui was young.
After she became an immortal, the Eastern Zhou royal family was able to form an alliance with the Phoenix clan, which was considered to be the consent of Emperor Sui out of repayment for his kindness.
If something happens to Emperor Sui, the alliances between the two sides will definitely not change in the short term, but there will be variables after all.
From the perspective of the Eastern Zhou royal family and the countless people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ming Sheng hoped that Emperor Sui would be safe.
However, since Emperor Sui was in seclusion, Mingsheng's idea of using Emperor Sui's power to communicate with the Master of Xuandu was naturally impossible to realize.
But what is lost is the east corner, and what is gained is the mulberry tree.
Although there is a lack of support, there is also one less master who can compete with All Saints Academy for people.
Otherwise, Emperor Sui would definitely want to take Zhou Qing away as well.
And now, even if Emperor Sui is safe and discovers the existence of Zhou Qing in the future, All Saints Academy cannot be blamed.
I informed you immediately. It was your own fault that led to the failure to receive the message.
The only thing Ming Sheng has to consider now is how to discuss Zhou Qing's affairs with Xuanduguan.
…
Night.
Zhou Qing and An Lang were walking on the streets of Shendu. An Lang was chattering beside him and kept talking.
"Sir, the City of Gods is really lively, even more lively than Yujing, and I feel that this place has more ancient charm than Yujing."
"Of course."
Zhou Qing nodded, "The Shendu has existed much longer than Yujing."
The two of them visited the Shendu for a long time and fully experienced the style of this ancient capital.
It's very lively, not only can you see human practitioners, demons, ghosts, etc. inside, but you can also see them.
Even the mortals living in the city of God will not be frightened when they see these aliens, but will not be surprised. There is no problem for mortals to communicate with aliens.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty had the Haoran Magical Array, and as Shendu was the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Haoran Magical Array covering it was undoubtedly the most powerful.
Under the shock of such a terrifying magic circle, no monsters or monsters would dare to cause trouble in the city of God.
And on every street, soldiers with high level of cultivation can be seen patrolling at any time without stopping.
Zhou Qing has seen situations where ordinary people encountered problems and went to the soldiers to tell them and get help.
Even some young people who are obviously from powerful backgrounds based on their clothing and demeanor are relatively low-key. Zhou Qing has never seen anyone bullying people on the street.
This is an ancient capital with a long history, dominated by human races, and all races live in harmony.
All Saints Academy inherits the orthodoxy of All Saints, and at the same time inherits the aspirations of All Saints, taking it as its own mission to educate the world and create a peaceful and prosperous age.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is relatively good among the Three Kingdoms. The Capital of Gods is right next to the All Saints Academy, so there is no need to mention it.
Under the full governance of All Saints Academy and the Eastern Zhou royal family, the happiness index of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was relatively high. They also identified with the imperial court and had a strong sense of belonging.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty as a whole showed a prosperous attitude.
Facts have proved that the country and the people can coexist harmoniously and the court can develop very well without squeezing the people.
Of course, the key point is that there are many extraordinary means in this world that can greatly improve people's living conditions without making them unable to survive.
Inside the All Saints Academy, there are Bai Nong Yuan, Bai Qiao Yuan, etc., which specialize in the study of Taoism that is beneficial to farming, as well as institutions and creations that can help the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty live and work better.
The potential that Taoism can unleash in production is truly unimaginable.
Just simple rainfall to drive away rain, as well as Taoist techniques to increase spiritual power, can greatly increase food production.
Or it may be the fertile soil technique, which can turn bad soil into fertile farmland. For the people, this is nothing but a miracle.
With a court that is willing to do these things for them, how can the people not return home?
Although this is a world where spiritual practice exists, don’t underestimate the influence of the secular world.
Isn’t every practitioner a mortal in the beginning?
The secular world is the cornerstone and soil of the spiritual world.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty court also received the gratitude of the people for its preferential treatment.
Among those practitioners who were ordinary but talented, between the Eastern Zhou sect and the Eastern Zhou court, most would choose to join the latter.
If things go on like this, how can the Eastern Zhou royal family be weak? His rule will naturally be rock solid.
After excluding the Meng family, which had two or three big cats and kittens, the Wu family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty became the most powerful competitor for the No. 1 family in the world.
“Sir, where did all these people go?”
“There seems to be some activity.”
"Then let's go and join in the fun."
After arriving at the place, Zhou Qing discovered that there was a lantern festival here.
Big and beautiful flowers of different shapes are scattered all over the street, extremely bright.
All the lanterns are spread out with no end in sight, like the rising sun is beginning to appear.
Everywhere you look is brilliant and beautiful.
There was a huge flow of people, and many people from Shendu gathered here, wearing clothes that fit the atmosphere of the place, and smiling like flowers.
There are lanterns shining in the sky, on the ground, in the river, and between buildings, illuminating this place into a place that never sleeps.
The scene of the prosperous age is as clear as day.
“It’s so beautiful.”
An Lang watched this scene with his eyes fixed.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Yes."
The world of mortals is so bright, the immortals are in the world!
Who in this world can be completely detached?
No matter how far you practice, you will still be in the mortal world after all.
Therefore, Zhou Qing never rejected the world of mortals or despised the secular world.
No matter how high your cultivation level is, in the end, you are still a guest in the world of mortals.
The two of them walked among countless lanterns, admiring the scene. After a while, An Lang suddenly said:
"Sir, what kind of mask is that?"
Zhou Qing looked over and saw that An Lang was talking about a woman with a mask on her face. The image of the mask was a strange beast that Zhou Qing had never seen before.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s a strange beast unique to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.”
But this man...
Zhou Qing discovered that he might have met an "acquaintance".
The woman noticed the gazes of the two people and turned around to look. After seeing Zhou Qing, her eyes moved slightly and she walked over.
“Zhou Qing?”
The woman spoke out and said Zhou Qing’s name. Zhou Qing nodded, "I have met Princess Mingkong."
The person wearing the mask of a strange beast turned out to be the princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty whom he had met on the grassland. He did not expect to see him again here.
Will the princess also come to see the lanterns...
She also wears a mask and pays a "private visit" in private to experience folk life, right?
Princess Mingkong’s face is hidden by a mask, but for Zhou Qing, sensing her breath can determine her identity.
Mingkong was a little strange, "Huh? You know me?"
When the two met on the grassland, Zhou Qing got along with her as a phoenix and never exposed his true identity.
So it is normal for Mingkong to have this question at this time.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Don't you know me, princess?"
"Ha."
Mingkong chuckled, "You were born out of nowhere and occupied a place in the reincarnation spring. This matter has been spread among some disciples of All Saints Academy." How could I not know about such a peerless genius?”
"But I'm in Xiqi, I'm afraid I don't have such a reputation as you."
"The princess is too modest. She is a genius of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The name of the princess is as loud as thunder. I have heard of it more than once in Xuandu Temple. ”
Zhou Qing does know something about this princess.
When the war ended, after he returned to Xuandu Temple from the grassland, he specifically checked the information about the princess. There were some records about her in Xuandu Temple.
His full name is: Wu Mingkong.
A noble daughter of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty royal family, extremely talented, capable of practicing both soul and martial arts. She possesses a kind of powerful innate supernatural power similar to Dugu's divine Taoist body, encompassing both soul and body.
This woman is one of the most outstanding young people in the Eastern Zhou royal family, and sometimes she can even get rid of that one.
Wu Mingkong is actually not the daughter of the current Eastern Zhou Emperor, but the daughter of the previous Zhou Emperor and the youngest direct sister of the current Zhou Emperor.
But she is indeed a young person, in her twenties, and she is the "old-born daughter" of the previous Emperor Zhou.
In Xuandu Temple, they have a high opinion of Wu Mingkong and believe that she will definitely become an extremely powerful person in the future.
In Zhou Qing's opinion, just this name of the princess is already very impressive.
Will she be the empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the future?
“Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhou, for the compliment.”
Wu Mingkong said, taking off the mask, revealing a picturesque and noble face. Zhou Qing was very familiar with it. After all, he had stayed with her in the grassland for about ten days.
“We were talking with our faces hidden just now, don’t be surprised, Fellow Daoist Zhou.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Who is this?”
“My partner, An Lang.”
"I've met the princess."
"An Lang..."
Wu Mingkong looked at An Lang with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was remembering, and asked after a few breaths:
"Do you know An Yu and Song Qiu?"
An Lang was stunned and said quickly:
"We know, An Yu is my sister, and Song Qiu is my brother-in-law. Princess, how do you know my sister and the others?"
Zhou Qing was surprised. He did not expect to hear these two from Wu Mingkong. name.
When he left Heiyun Town and went to Jiuyang Market, he first went to An Lang's hometown.
There, they discovered that An Lang's sister, who had disappeared in his early years but was actually chasing her husband, was still alive and had returned to Cangyuan County to reestablish his family.
According to An Yu, An Lang's sister, she and her husband were forced to go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty because of changes in her husband's family. They established a foothold and started a new business.
As for what the cause was, Zhou Qing and An Lang didn't know much about it at first.
But it was a big surprise to learn the names of An Yu and the others from Wu Mingkong.
Is it possible that the business of sister An Lang and her family could be related to the Eastern Zhou royal family?
Zhou Qing asked curiously: "Princess, do you know An Yu and Song Qiu?"
"I have met them several times and know their names. I think Miss An Lang is somewhat similar to An Yu. Qi movement also means that it has the same origin, so this question arises.”
"I didn't expect that they were really relatives."
Wu Mingkong looked at An Lang several times and felt strange in her heart. She also did not expect that there would be such a cause and effect.
Then Wu Mingkong told the whole story.
"Nearly two hundred years ago, a senior of our clan, who was still young at that time, encountered an accident while traveling in Xiqi and wandered in the mountains. He was rescued by a mortal in Xiqi, who saved the senior from beasts. "
"That mortal is the ancestor of the Song family where Song Qiu lives."
"The elders of the clan were saved by the ancestors of the Song family. In order to repay him..."
As Wu Mingkong told him, Zhou Qing and An Lang also had a clear understanding of the relationship between Song Qiu and Wu Mingkong. understanding.
In order to repay his kindness, the senior Wu family wanted to bring the ancestor of the Song family back to the Zhou Dynasty and let him live in the divine capital under the protection of the royal family. However, the ancestor of the Song family refused and he was unwilling to leave his hometown. .
So the senior Wu family had no choice but to repay the favor in other ways. Seeing that the ancestors of the Song family had the talent for soul cultivation, he introduced them to the way of cultivation, leaving inheritance and treasures, as well as a large amount of wealth, and gave it to the Song family The ancestors were able to protect their wealth.
At the same time, the seniors of the Wu family also left a promise that the ancestors of the Song family and their descendants could come to Dazhou to find him at any time if anything happened.
Nearly two hundred years passed, and there was no news from the Song family. But more than ten years ago, Song Qiu and An Yu brought some members of the Song family to the divine capital and contacted the Eastern Zhou royal family.
This is because the Song family experienced changes and suffered a catastrophe. The remaining members of the Song family were forced to have no choice but to go to Dazhou to avoid disaster and wanted revenge.
The senior of the Wu family who was rescued by the ancestor of the Song family was from Wu Mingkong's lineage. The senior met Song Qiu and the others in person, and Wu Mingkong was also present.
Afterwards, Song Qiu and An Yu settled down in the capital of the gods. The Wu family sent people to Xiqi to destroy the enemies of the Song family. Due to the instructions from the seniors in the family, Wu Mingkong had several contacts with Song Qiu and the others. This time, it’s considered acquaintance.
"...But almost two years ago, Song Qiu and An Yu took their children back to Xiqi, and they haven't come back yet."
"So that's it."
Zhou Qing lamented that things in the world are unpredictable. He did not expect that a small family in Qi territory would have such a karma left by its ancestors and be related to the Eastern Zhou royal family.
The way of cause and effect is really wonderful.
However, it can also be seen that the senior of the Wu family really kept his word and kept his promise. The promise he made to a mortal nearly two hundred years ago can still be fulfilled by his descendants.
Avenging the Song family, helping the descendants of the Song family gain a foothold in the capital of the gods, and letting the princess Wu Mingkong personally take care of her can already be called benevolence and righteousness.
With Wu Mingkong's status in the Eastern Zhou royal family, even if she only showed up in the Song family, no one would dare to provoke Song Qiu and the others.
An Lang expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thank you, princess, for taking care of my sister and the others."
"My clan should do it."
Wu Mingkong shook his head, "Back then If it hadn’t been for the ancestors of the Song family to save us, our family might have lost one of its members.”
“The things we have paid are insignificant.”
The actions of a mortal saved a member of the Eastern Zhou royal family from premature death. The impact was too great.
"Miss An Lang, you..."
Wu Mingkong looked at An Lang and said:
"I accidentally heard An Yu say that her home is in Tian Zhou, his parents are still alive at home, and he does have a younger sister.”
“But why have you become a ghost now?”
When An Yu disappeared, An Lang was only six or seven years old, and nothing had happened yet.
An Lang seemed embarrassed and replied in a low voice:
"When I was still alive, I went out to play, accidentally fell into the water, and drowned."
"... ”
Falling into the water and drowning is such an unpopular word.
Even if the infant Wu Mingkong was thrown into the lake, she would not drown because of the power of her elders.
So she was stunned when she heard this way of death.
Strange.
"It was five years after I drowned that I met the young master, and I have been with him ever since."
I have to say that if An Lang had not died unexpectedly, then she would have died later. She would be killed along with her parents at the hands of the demon cultivators taught by the Heavenly Mother. By then, she would not even have a chance to become a ghost.
So in comparison, An Lang drowned early. Judging from the result, it was actually a good thing...
"It's a pity."
Wu Mingkong said: "But An Miss Lang can live again as a ghost, which is a blessing among misfortunes. "
Becoming a ghost after death is not an opportunity that everyone can have.
“Yes.”
An Lang nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, I drowned in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have met the young master later."
"..."
Both Zhou Qing and Wu Mingkong were speechless.
What an open-minded ghost.
