Chapter 126 The Golden Book with Ant Characters, Farewell to Xuanguang
The sun and the moon fly like flies, rising in the east and setting in the west.
The weather may change from sunny to rainy, but the scenery on Fuyao Mountain is still so quiet and beautiful.
Suddenly, there was a figure on the top platform, crossing the guardrail and flying out.
Beyond the cliff, the sea of clouds is billowing, the fog is thick, impermanent and ever-changing.
The figure hovered above the clouds and mist, and a narrow silver blade of light extended from its hand, flashing suddenly and sweeping back and forth.
The large clouds and mist within a radius of thirty feet seemed to suddenly freeze, and were cut into a chessboard-like shape, with hundreds of knife marks crisscrossing and forming square shapes.
The amorphous clouds and mist were also imprisoned by the sword energy and could not flow for a while.
The figure flew back into the guardrail, the silver light in his hand dissipated, he pressed his palm on the guardrail and exhaled slowly.
Phew! ! !
This breath, as long as water and as fast as an arrow, shot into the chessboard-like clouds and mist, disrupting the cloud grid within five or six feet in front.
Soon, the knife marks on both sides and farther away faded and disintegrated, and the clouds and mist surged again and connected together.
“Three years!”
Meng Zhaoxuan patted the railing and laughed, “I can’t believe that I can still be so unscrupulous and do my best just for a trivial matter. Days.”
Su Hanshan Coming from behind: "You have now completed the tempering of one tail vertebrae. Unfortunately, in your situation, you cannot go back and pursue the Qi Sea Ultimate Realm. You cannot use the method of condensing light leather qi, otherwise you will end up on the battlefield." It will definitely be more satisfying.”
Meng Zhaoxuan said with a smile: "I exchanged martial arts with Tacha'er back then. Before, the sword energy in my body was too strong and I couldn't use other martial arts in battle. But now I can use a variety of martial arts smoothly and smoothly, and I can really fight on the battlefield." , the Yin Talisman Knife kills the enemy, and the synesthesia method continues the battle, already It’s enough to be happy.”
“However, when I return to the border, the biggest gift I will bring to the soldiers is not just a recovered marshal, but your formation.”< br>
Su Hanshan said: " Six Tao Fengyun Formation? That thing requires Qi Hai Dacheng or above... Well, it is almost at the level of a first-class master, so it is easier to learn. How many people like that are there in the Qin army?"
"No, no, no. ”
Meng Zhaoxuan shook his head repeatedly, "The Six Towers Wind and Cloud Formation can use six first-class masters to pin down the grandmaster. It is indeed brilliant, but in fact, in my opinion, its biggest secret cannot be highlighted at all in this kind of battle with less than ten people. .”
"It clearly contains the secrets of military battle formations. It would take at least 600 people to get a glimpse of it. Six thousand people, 60,000 people, is never too many."
He sighed, "I In the past, I used all kinds of magic in military formations, and no one could compete with me with equal strength, and I often felt complacent about it. But after looking at your formation, I carefully After thinking about it, I feel that I am really a frog in the well."
"That formation allows me to see a whole new world in the military formation."
Su Hanshan said in surprise: "It is so powerful. ?”
Yin Kang has been practicing the Six Tao Mental Techniques for so many years, but he still doesn’t see anything brilliant about his command of battle formations.
But Xiji Buzhou Palace was the state religion of the previous dynasty. Seven hundred years ago, it assisted Emperor Qin Yingxiang to wipe out the troubled countries in the late Middle Ages and unified the world. It was known as "the iron cavalry and the unparalleled battle formation."
The Six Tao Mental Technique may really hide some secrets of the battle formation, but Yin Kang did not realize it.
Su Hanshan couldn't help but feel a little pity when he thought of this.
In the past twenty days, he collaborated with Zhang Shuwei, Meng Zhaoxuan and others to discuss the exercises.
He himself comes from a big world where martial arts are prosperous. Zhang Shuwei is a genius doctor and has devoted himself to research for many years, and has had early communication with him.
In contrast, Meng Zhaoxuan was distracted by many things in the past, and his research in this area should be the weakest. Unexpectedly, when everyone really discussed it, Meng Zhaoxuan could always put forward opinions from a higher perspective, hit the point, and made Su Hanshan all Think of the hurdles in your own practice.
With such a state of mind and aptitude, if one had also studied a more complete martial arts system in the Chu Dynasty, his achievements would definitely be far beyond the current level.
“Your talent in personal martial arts is truly unique to me. You are tenacious and dedicated, and brave and diligent. However, you have no foundation in the Qimen Army Formation, so naturally you cannot appreciate the deeper meaning of that formation. "
Meng Zhaoxuan took out a booklet from his arms and said, "This "Golden Book with Ant Characters", The material is rare and the characters are as small as ants. In Xiao Chen’s Xunlong Sword Sect, it is a book dedicated to recording the essence of Feng Shui formations. A few months ago, I asked him for a blank book to record his insights on the formations. It’s all written up too.”
“If you are interested, you can take a look at it later.”
Su Hanshan took the book and smiled: "What a coincidence, I also have a book for you."
He took out a thread-bound book from his arms and shook his wrist , the pages of the book clattered.
"We have been discussing martial arts for so long. You may have noticed that my hometown has a very advanced view of martial arts."
"The way to reincarnation is in my family. , is called the Ladder Realm, which refers specifically to the path of tempering the spine. , after the spine is completed, other parts of the body can be extended and transformed. This process is also called the true state."
"There are many realms ahead. I have recorded everything I know. I hope. I can help you point out a general direction.”
The martial arts of the Chu Dynasty is said to have ten major realms. However, there are only a few words about the next few realms in the martial arts classics of Songhe Martial Arts Hall.
Those miscellaneous talks, travel notes, biographies of ancient gods and men, records of experiences in secret realms, etc. that Su Hanshan has read, there are many authors who will write big and special books on the strongest realms, but it is credible If you have doubts about your nature, you won’t mention the specific method of cultivation.
The only ones he really knows about the general training guidelines are the first five major realms.
The sea of qi, the ladder to heaven, the true shape, the mysterious embryo, and the divine palace.
In the simplest terms, the sea of qi nourishes the pulse and refines qi, the ladder of heaven tempers the spine, and the true shape transforms the whole body. Xuantai is to create a stable, pure energy organ that can efficiently absorb external energy. , the Shenfu wants to condense the martial arts soul.
Of course, Su Hanshan wrote a book full of content, and it would not be such a simple thing, but his limited knowledge of each realm would be written in detail.
Although Meng Zhaoxuan went astray before, in fact, if you calculate it, it is equivalent to the peak of the ladder realm.
Now that he has solved the shortcomings of the technique, he may soon completely enter the scope of the "true form".
In the next few decades, he will definitely need to explore higher realms, and this booklet will undoubtedly save him a lot of time in trial and error.
Meng Zhaoxuan also didn’t expect that he would give away a book of formation tips and get a book in exchange. While laughing, his face suddenly changed slightly: “Giving it to ‘us’, it sounds a bit like parting. Gift? ”
"That's what I mean."
Su Hanshan walked to the edge of the railing and looked through the clouds and mist at the outline of the palace city and downtown in the distance. "I'm going home today. All the packages are ready. Leave them to me." Their farewell letters were also sent to their rooms."
"Everyone is practicing martial arts. He is a straightforward and upright person, and he has things to do at hand, so there is no need to gather together to see him off in person."
Li Qiumian has not returned from the palace, so Zhang Shuwei has sent him several batches that need to be scheduled. The antidote pills were taken. Judging from the amount, they were probably not meant for the emperor to take alone.
Chen Shouzhi and Shen Weiran were seriously injured. After all, they also needed people from Yaowang Academy to take care of them.
Fuyao Mountain has been working closely with the government to annex Kuanggutang's property. It has been extremely busy recently, and everyone up and down, who used to be in charge of things, has become active.
Even Situ Zhongxia and the others, who have not recovered from their injuries, are not often able to stay in the main altar.
For them, this is just an interlude in the rejuvenation of their family and country. After annexing Kuanggutang, the food and military equipment will be fully sufficient, and the border army will also take over the homeland of Yuzhou simultaneously.
For Su Hanshan, this is the end of his time in this world.
"So, besides you, I am the most idle now."
Meng Zhaoxuan had just finished tempering his tail vertebrae the day before yesterday, and was still adapting to recuperation yesterday. Indeed, nothing had been assigned to him yet.
"In that case, let's go to the city for a walk."
Meng Zhaoxuan looked around and suggested, "You have been in Lin'an City for so long, either practicing or fighting, and you haven't done a good job yet. You have gone out to play. Today I will take this opportunity to show you the scenic spots in Lin'an and try some of the most praised restaurants. "
Su Hanshan had this idea and hit it off immediately: "Okay, I'll go back and get the package."
He said he was going to get the package, but actually when he came out of the room. , he didn’t carry any baggage in his hands, but he looked taller and stronger, and he was wearing an extremely thick robe.
Meng Zhaoxuan could see the reason at a glance, but he just thought it was a special hobby of young people and smiled lightly.
It turns out that this robe has many pockets sewn inside, filled with secret books, prescriptions, elixirs and gold leaves.
Su Hanshan has long memorized the secrets of tempering various parts of the body, but they are all internal skills, and the secrets carried in his robe include many ingenious martial arts stunts.
If you can really bring it back successfully, even if you don't practice it yourself, it would be good for your fellow students in the martial arts gym to practice it.
The prescriptions were compiled by Zhang Shuwei. Su Hanshan memorized some of the most useful prescriptions for martial arts practitioners before putting them away.
The finished elixir and golden leaves were recently captured from Fuyao Mountain.
Just such a robe weighs nearly thirty kilograms.
Fortunately, people outside are not familiar with Su Hanshan's figure. At most, they think that this young man is quite strong and will not look too much at him.
Meng Zhaoxuan acted as a guide and took him down Fuyao Mountain, walking along the river and playing around.
Lin'anhui was chosen as the imperial city precisely because of its historical connections, geography and hydrology, and its unique location. Many places of interest can be traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties.
As the saying goes, the southeast is beautiful, the three Wu cities are there, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.
Small willow-painted bridges, windy green curtains, and hundreds of thousands of homes.
Clouds and trees surround the embankment and sand, raging waves roll up frost and snow, and the sky is boundless. There are osmanthus seeds in three autumns and lotus flowers in ten miles. The Qiang pipe clears the sky, the watermelon song fills the night, and the old lotus babies play and fish. Thousands of horsemen with high teeth, riding drunk, listening to flutes and drums, chanting and admiring the haze.
The two of them wandered around until dusk, when the warm sun in the west hung over the mountains and filled the sky with brilliant glow.
Su Hanshan looked at the mark on his wrist and estimated that the time would be approaching in a few moments, so he asked to find a restaurant and have something to eat.
Meng Zhaoxuan was about to choose a restaurant when he suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from a tavern on the right front, vaguely mixed with the words "Marshal Meng".
The battle in which the masters from all sides gathered at the manor, thousands of people participated in the battle, and the residences of Prime Minister Zuo and others were implicated. The commotion was really too loud.
Even though twenty days have passed, it is still the most talked about thing in Lin'an City.
It is not surprising that Marshal Meng was mentioned in the conversation in the tavern.
But Su Hanshan listened attentively and found that something else seemed to be discussed inside, and he was a little curious: "Just that house."
After the two entered the door, they finally understood the reason for the commotion.
It turns out that someone actually put up a fragrant screen in the lobby of this tavern.
What is painted on the screen seems to be a scene in a palace. There are many women wearing gold hairpins and brocades, and their clothes are disheveled. Next to them are a group of military men wearing armor and long swords at their waists.
“…The fire that happened more than half a month ago burned half of the wall of my house black. The barbarians of the Jin Kingdom are still so arrogant after destroying the country. It is really unconscionable. It can be imagined that we were The humiliation suffered by our ancestors”
I saw a rich man with red cheeks and obviously drunk, standing next to the screen and loudly said, "But as the saying goes, good and evil are rewarded, and God's way is good. When Marshal Meng destroyed the gold, he killed the heads of those princes and nobles. Gungun, even those queens and concubines want to It was enjoyed by our military master of the Song Dynasty.”
“My screen is a strange man who criticized the Kingdom of Jin with me two days ago and shared the same hatred with me. Seeing that I was destined, I only accepted three hundred gold. , the ”
” screen was given to me. The picture on the wind was painted by the painter who accompanied the army. It shows the scene where Marshal Meng led his men to invade the harem of the Jin Emperor."
The drunkard pointed there, "Look, this is Jin. Queen of the country, this is the imperial concubine, this is It's the princess..."
People in the lobby burst into laughter, and a few naughty idlers even shouted: "I think the queen must have returned to Marshal Meng. I wonder if the concubines and princesses have any differences. Moisturize the soldiers.”
"Nonsense, even if there are no concubines and princesses to enjoy, there are so many wonderful people from big families in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, which are enough for the military men to share their profits. There are also a lot of gold and silver, and a large herd of cattle and sheep."
Someone with sharp eyes saw many lyrics embroidered beside the screen picture, and started singing babblingly.
Su Hanshan's expression was subtle and he looked at the generalissimo next to him.
“How could I allow my subordinates to burn, kill and loot indiscriminately? Isn’t that the same virtue as barbarians from the enemy country? Even if they kill enemy officials and confiscate their homes and harvest their property, they still have to abide by the regulations.”
< br>Meng Zhao Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in a low voice, "Besides, at the beginning, most of the Jin Kingdom's harem concubines were left in Bianjing, and we chased the Jin Kingdom Emperor all the way to the Caizhou City, and I never entered their court at all."
< br>
"I see that those lines of lyrics are definitely not the brushstrokes of military painters. They are more like things created by Confucian scholars who defected to Mongolia."
As he said this, some young scholars among the crowd shouted stand up.
The few words of the man’s defense were quite close to Meng Zhaoxuan’s explanation.
Su Hanshan took a second look and said with a smile: "It seems that there are many discerning people in the wells of Lin'an City."
"...So, you come up with this kind of The thing is simply tarnishing Marshal Meng’s reputation.”
The scholar did not drink, but he was blushing and thick-necked in protest, and said impassionedly, "What kind of person is Marshal Meng? He is a descendant of Yasheng Mencius. He inherited the moral character and literary talent of Confucius and Mencius, so he can fight a hundred battles." Yum."
"Even if you don't believe Marshal Meng, you shouldn't question the nobility of Mencius' descendants!"
Su Hanshan was speechless.
“I didn’t even know it, but it turns out that I am a descendant of Mencius.”
Meng Zhaoxuan sighed and laughed, “There is a long way to go.”
The ethos of the Song Dynasty was to emphasize literature over military affairs to the extreme. In addition to the misbehavior of the emperor's eunuchs, there were also many famous Confucian scholars who misbehaved and harmed the country.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, even great writers like Su Shi, who could really make political achievements for the people, despised generals. They dismissed Wei Qing and others in history as sycophants, and their words were extremely harsh.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, many literati emerged who had experienced war and chaos with their own eyes, which helped to clean up the atmosphere in the literary world. However, the evil was endless and has not been cured.
Meng Zhaoxuan has governed all over the world in these years, taught calligraphy in the army, and established many academies. He hoped to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, cultivate talents for the army, and replace the swords and pens of those corrupt Confucian scholars.
Su Hanshan said: "Anyway, the barrel of the gun is in your hands, and the government is in the hands of Li Qiumian and others. Don't worry about this little problem."
"I don't care about their shortcomings, I just feel sorry for them. They are all people who can achieve great things. A person like this person, who quotes classics, is eloquent, stands alone in front of others, and does not change his courage. If put in the right position, he can also Enough to speak up for the people, or sort out local accounts "
Meng Zhaoxuan said with emotion, "Only by uniting all the people who can be united can we drive away powerful enemies externally, improve people's livelihood internally, and restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties as soon as possible."
< br>"It's a pity that people like them need It can only be controlled by the right person, otherwise it will just be a piece of rotten wood. Neither Li Qiumian nor I are good at this."
He paused and said leisurely, "The emperor was diligent in his work back then. When the time comes, I can put these people to good use "It's a pity."
Although Li Qiumian and the others can control the emperor and even include the next emperor in their plans, it is not easy for the emperor to voluntarily do his best and take the initiative to use his talents. possible.
Su Hanshan was thoughtful and suddenly smiled and said: "Then before I leave, I will help you one more time."
Meng Zhaoxuan glanced at him doubtfully.
Su Hanshan's figure flashed and went straight to the palace city.
In the palace, the emperor held his concubine in his arms and sat in a daze in his bedroom.
He was not the only one who took the poison. The concubines around him, the eunuchs and confidants he was used to, were all poisoned.
Now he has completely given up the idea of resisting, but when he thinks about it, he is already over forty this year.
As an emperor, if you can live to be half a hundred, you are considered to have a long life. If you just hang around like this, you can hang around for another ten or eight years, which is not bad.
Anyway, on the surface, when those people can cultivate a new emperor, they will not stop their own enjoyment.
The emperor still believed that Meng, Fan and others were willing to give him this bit of old love.
But if you think about using the state treasury to build merit temples and gardens like in recent years, it will definitely not work. Since you don’t need to take care of government affairs yourself, you always feel that you have too much time.
Forget it, let's go to the palace tomorrow to find some Zen masters and Taoist priests to talk about Zen and Taoism, and tell anecdotes about gods and immortals.
The skylight in the large window on the side of the palace had dimmed, and the emperor was too lazy to let the palace people light the lamps, so he was about to lie down with his arms around the imperial concubine.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed at the palace gate, and a strange wind blew, causing the palace gate to close on its own, and a dazzling light shone on the emperor's face.
The emperor raised his hand to cover it and squinted his eyes. The imperial concubine cowered in fear.
I saw Su Hanshan's black hair flying, his robes flying, suspended in the air, his whole body emitting golden light, and his face looked at the emperor with a look that seemed to be both compassionate and disappointed.
"Sir, here we come again!"
The emperor stood up quickly, cursing secretly in his heart, but with a respectful expression on his face.
"Alas!"
A long sigh floated in the air, the golden light circulated, seeming to reflect the postures of dragons, tigers and cranes, and auspicious clouds circled around.
The emperor's face became a little confused. He heard that the master's martial arts could shine, but Dong Songchen couldn't create such a wonderful scene at the beginning.
Besides, this person suddenly came to the palace, wasn't it just to show him these tricks?
Su Hanshan used his internal energy, recalling the special effects scenes from his previous life, and created some scenes for himself that were not destructive but enough to scare people.
His inner power was unparalleled by normal masters in this world. Soon, in the golden light of auspicious clouds, there was even a faint scene of a goddess dancing and scattering flying flowers.
“I traveled around the mortal world this time to select Yin gods and Immortal officials. I originally thought that you had made great achievements in the past ten years. Although you cannot become an Immortal official, a small god in the underworld can make do.”
< br>“I didn’t expect that the two Immortal Official candidates would give you a chance to wake up, but instead you would just become lazy.”
"I am about to go back today, and I will give you some enlightenment once again. Only those who have made great contributions to all living beings will be awarded the title of Immortal Rewards and Gods. You can do it for yourself!"
As soon as the words fell, the sky drum moved slightly, and the hall was filled with mysterious light. Only one line was visible. The colorful sky road leads directly to the zenith.
Su Hanshan's figure slowly rose, getting closer and closer to the top of the palace. The moment it touched the top of the palace, he suddenly disappeared.
All visions fade away.
The emperor looked up at the sky in astonishment, and looked around. The palace door was closed, and there was absolutely no place where people could leave. The faces of the noble concubines and the eunuchs and maids around him clearly had expressions of astonishment.
In his mind, all the mysterious news about Su Hanshan flashed through his mind, and he seemed to suddenly realize it.
"Immortal!!!"
The emperor...the eldest son of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty fell to his knees on the ground, clasped his hands, and his eyes became bright involuntarily. got up.
