The convoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty mission was driving on the wide streets of Chang'an, and the roads were lined with people watching. The common people were whispering to each other, and what they were talking about was nothing more than the Northern Wei Dynasty's visit to the New Tang Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty chose to send an envoy to the New Tang Dynasty at this juncture, and I am afraid it was not just as simple as "showing off its power". You can see the faint confidence and pride on his face.
The envoy team arrived at the door of a gorgeous house. A middle-aged man hurriedly greeted them and took the reins from the leading guard affectionately. Seeing the two envoys who looked very similar to each other at the head of the mission, the man bowed deeply and said, "I guess these two are Lord Wang Qing and Lord Wang Yuan, right?"
The officials from the Northern Wei Dynasty who were sent to the New Tang Dynasty this time were none other than the brothers Wang Qing and Wang Yuan who participated in the Cold Examination in the same year as Yingping and Ye Changshan. After returning to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the two brothers both became officials. Because of their outstanding talents, the brothers The two were highly appreciated by their female prime minister, so the important task of visiting New Tang Dynasty fell on the shoulders of the two brothers.
Wang Qing and Wang Wang looked at each other from a distance, and then his brother Wang Qing clasped his hands and returned the greeting: "Exactly! Mr. Lu, this trip to the Tang Dynasty has caused a lot of trouble. My two brothers would like to thank you in advance——"
A middle-aged man named Lu Mingxiu was originally a businessman from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because his business was closely related to the New Tang Dynasty, he simply chose to establish a business in Chang'an ten years ago. Not only did he buy a house here, but he even married a wife from the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, Lu Xiu's business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has become one of the most wealthy businessmen outside the Jiang family. In order to better gain the recognition of the people of Chang'an, Lu Xiu often gives charity, so the people of Chang'an do not like this Northern Wei businessman. Not considered exclusive.
Although Lu Xiu was far away in Chang'an, he still heard about some things in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he naturally knew that the Wang brothers were popular among the female prime ministers. Seeing that Wang Qing was so polite, he quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "What the hell! The presence of these two adults really makes my house shine, and I can't even be happy about it!"
"In that case, then..." Wang Qing suddenly stopped. He looked at the guard who was leading the horse intentionally or unintentionally, and saw the guard nodded slightly, and then Wang Qing seemed to have received some kind of permission. He nodded and said: "Then we will rest temporarily at Mr. Lu's house——"
Mr. Lu didn't pay much attention to these details. Seeing Wang Qing's agreement, he happily sent the team into the house and organized a banquet and wine for the Wang brothers, preparing to take over the affairs of the Wang brothers.

Ji Yangyu was lying weakly on a boulder. His face was slightly pale, his lips were chapped, and all his clothes were soaked. He was breathing heavily, and his eyes were already a little distracted. Compared with the clean and calm appearance in the past, he now looked more embarrassed than ever before.
Ji Yangyu seemed to be searching for something here. After his breath calmed down a little, he turned over and sat down again, then closed his eyes tightly and let his breath sink into his dantian, and started the process over and over again.
The end of summer and the beginning of autumn is when the breath of heaven and earth in Qianniu Mountain is strongest. At this time every year, Ji Yang and Zhen will go deep into the mountain and come to the main peak that towers into the clouds to feel the essence of heaven and earth.
Let go of the old and bring in the new.
This is the only thing Ji Yangyu does these days, spit out the dirty air in his body, and then bring in the fresh breath of nature. This action is very simple, but the process is very boring and long, usually taking three days. During these three days, when Ji Yangyu was hungry, he picked some fruits to satisfy his hunger. When he was thirsty, he drank some spring water to quench his thirst. When he was tired, he lay on a stone to rest. When he was sleepy, he hung on a tree to sleep.
Cultivation was not a difficult task for him. After all, this is how practice is. Back then, when he was with his husband, he could persist in playing games for more than 30 hours, let alone the simplest practice of learning old things and incorporating new ones. But this year, he felt a little different from usual——
I don't know whether it's because the breath of heaven and earth in Qianniu Mountain is stronger than in previous years, or because some changes have occurred inside his body. This year's practice in the mountain made Ji Yangyou feel even more tormented.
But Ji Yangyu is Ji Yangyu after all. After surviving the first two days, Ji Yangyu gradually discovered something strange. That was the threshold that he had been exploring and groping for. At this moment, it was faintly appearing in the sky. Ahead!
Although Tianshu and Tianji are only separated by one realm, they are vastly different from each other. Practitioners who want to cross this gate have to go through inhuman tests - Zhe Helan was stabbed with a sword , the pavilion master was punched, Hua Fasha was kicked, and all three of them walked through the gate of hell before they could pass through the gate and enter Tianshu.
'Everyone who enters Tianshu must first suffer a heavenly calamity. This calamity may be caused by physical pain or mental difficulties. Those who endure this calamity may have their bodies broken into pieces or their souls scattered. Only by surviving this calamity and regaining a new life can they enter. Detianshu'......
Ji Yangyu no longer remembers which book he read this paragraph in, but it has been appearing in his mind these days. It seems that Bo Qingbo also suffered the heavy blow of the death of his beloved, so he could In the moment of grief, he thrust out that shocking sword.
Therefore, at this time, Ji Yang and Yue Yue dare not relax at all, because the moment of breaking through may be right in front of them!
Although this move was very risky, Ji Yanghe chose to continue without hesitation - in the past, Ji Yanghe was conscious and in good physical condition, but this year it was very different. If he really touched that The threshold, what will we face? Become unconscious? Confused? A sudden death? Losing control and heading towards the cliff? …
Even he himself could not predict these situations. It stands to reason that someone should be by his side at this critical moment, but once such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find it again. This is why Ji Yang, who has always been calm, will choose to take a desperate step.
Ji Yangyu worked hard to control every pulse in his body. Under such an environment, the breath of heaven and earth in his body was ready to move, while the breath of heaven and earth outside his body was surging. At this time, he was extremely careful with every breath he took. Be cautious, for fear that one careless step will lead to catastrophe.
Gradually, everything became quiet. It seemed that only Ji Yang and one person were left in the entire mountain peak, the entire mountain group, and the entire world. In front of him, there seemed to be an extremely wide door. On the other side of this door was A brand-new world, and he is standing in front of this door. Now as long as he takes a step, he can easily cross this door, leading to the realm that all practitioners long for but are out of reach...
Ji Yangyu slowly raised his legs and prepared to take this step, but at this moment, suddenly a tiger roar came from the jungle——
"Ouch——"
Ji Yangyu frowned and shouted in his heart that something is wrong! At this moment, the breath of heaven and earth in the Dantian was like a flood that broke a bank and rushed towards every meridians of the body. Not only that, the breath of heaven and earth outside the body seemed to be affected by this sudden change, and couldn't wait to rush in.
For a moment, Ji Yang and the meridians all over his body were swollen and painful as if they were going to explode.
"Ouch——"
The tiger seemed to smell the scent of its prey and roared again. Ji Yangyu realized how bad the situation was. He had to make an immediate decision, whether to sit back and wait for death or to tighten his Dantian and control the breath of heaven and earth to gain the ability to act! At this moment, Ji Yangyu, who had always been decisive, was a little hesitant. If he just sat there and waited for death, he might become the prey of a ferocious beast before long! What if you choose to forcibly tighten your Dantian? The harm caused by this kind of behavior is extremely great. Not to mention missing the opportunity to enter the Tianshu realm, I am afraid that my own cultivation will be greatly damaged. If I am lucky, I will have a chance to recover in the future. If I am less lucky, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive in this life. All……
'Zha—za—'
The crunching sound of feet stepping on dead branches and leaves in the jungle was getting closer and closer.
Ji Yangyu closed his eyes helplessly. At this moment, he had made a decision - he knew that he must forcefully hold back his Dantian at all costs, even if his cultivation was greatly damaged...
At this critical moment, the footsteps in the jungle suddenly stopped, and the tiger cautiously stopped its progress as if encountering some threat.
"Ouch——"
The tiger roared again, as if to demonstrate to an unknown enemy, but no matter how it roared, the enemy seemed unmoved.
"Woo——"
Gradually, the tiger's roar turned into a low groan. The tiger seemed to realize that this enemy was very powerful, so powerful that it had no power to fight back, and the sound of demonstration also turned into a 'show of weakness'. Then, a rush of footsteps sounded from the forest again, but this time it was a little panicked.
Ji Yangyu did not dare to relax. He paid careful attention to everything around him, and then found that the sounds in the jungle were getting smaller and farther away...
The danger…seems to have disappeared…
Ji Yangyu breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to relax completely. Taking advantage of the safety at this moment, he quickly adjusted his breath and tried his best to straighten out the chaotic breath of heaven and earth.
After a stick of incense, Ji Yang and his body finally resumed their movements. He collapsed weakly on the ground, sweat dripping from the ends of his hair, his clothes and pants were soaked, and his whole body seemed to crawl out of the water. At this moment, He longed for a pot of water more than ever.
'Click-'
Suddenly, a heavy water bag appeared next to Ji Yangyu. The water in the bag made a crisp sound when it collided, which was particularly tempting.
Ji Yangyu looked up hard and saw a man who was a few years older than himself appearing beside him. The man had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes and was dressed in blue. He looked calm and smiling, and was separated from Ji Yangyu. The distance is just right, giving people a very polite and measured feeling.
The man was none other than the guard who led Wang Qing's horse in the Northern Wei Dynasty that day. However, compared with his heroic performance that day, he was so gentle at this time, as if he was seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. Looking at Ji Yang and Yu lying on the ground.
